If you are introspective with a desire for personal growth, then this book discussion may be for you. Finding the balance between the need for self-improvement and accepting oneself as whole is a challenge throughout life’s twists and turns; creating space to explore this juxtaposition is the purpose of this group.To quote Rilke, if you are willing to “go within and scale the depths of your being from which your very life springs forth” then join us as we discuss a variety of personal development and psychology-based selections.
The third book we will cover is Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke.
In Letters to a Young Poet, Rilke shows us, through the content of extreme sensitivity and insight, the advice addressed to the young poet Franz Kappus, who was hesitant to pursue his literary career. The beauty and truth in this correspondence, covering ten letters between 1903 and 1908, made this work known worldwide. Using its inherent simplicity, Rilke talks about solitude and what it holds of greatness and describes with immense wisdom facets of the inner life of the human being and portraits of feelings that plague him. A few years after Rilke's death, Franz Kappus decided to publish them as an essential and individual learning experience.
Letters to a Young Poet is a profound exploration of the art of poetry and the human experience. Rilke's letters offer timeless wisdom and guidance for aspiring poets, emphasizing the importance of self-discovery, patience, and a deep appreciation for life's complexities.
