"Desiderata" reached #8 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. It had great influence on mainstream society and became a counterculture anthem of sorts, and in particular introducing many to the culture of prose poetry and spoken word recording. The recording was considered inspirational and positive during a somewhat negative time.
