Leo F. Buscaglia (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 9, 1992

Leo Buscaglia is a phenomenon, an internationally-renowned teacher, lecturer and writer. Now, in Born for Love, Buscaglia proves once again that he has no peer when it comes to revealing the wonderful, magical, maddening ways of love. There are no pat answers here. Instead, Buscaglia presents a series of personal reflections and ideas that orient us toward our own innate and amazing capacity for loving -- and suggests new ways to better care for each other every day. He offers that love is not a competitive sport; that love is far less concerned with what's past than what's next; and that there is no better time to love than right now!

Here is a tender and supportive collection of thoughts that gently encourages us all to continue our search for that most precious of emotions.

This review is from: Born for Love: Reflections on Loving (Hardcover)

Born for love is not a "how to" book, but the authors ideas on bringing love into every aspect of our lives. The reading is very easy. If you are looking at a book to inspire and bring self awareness this is a great one to keep handy. It would make a great gift for yourself or friends and lovers.

This review is from: Born for Love: Reflections on Loving (Paperback)

This is a very beautiful book; and very easy to read. Each page is like a short story that defines love, and makes the reader drunk with joy, if you will.

One of my favorite messages in this book reads, "Even when no one else seems to recognize how truly remarkable we are, we always have ourselves, the one inexhaustible resource for positive reinforcement, the one person who will always proudly wave our personal flag."

This is a wonderful message to use as an affirmation, because as one says these words, out loud, with closed eyes, 3 times per day, for 21 days (enough time to form new habits), you see, feel and hear more of your connection to the human race.

And it is in this new place, one is able to transcend the self and focus upon the needs of others around us, while we fulfill our own needs.

It is also the best way to follow the path that you are here to travel.

This review is from: Born for Love: Reflections on Loving (Paperback)

Dr. Buscaglia has accomplished something here that is a miracle in itself. To be able to describe love and compassion so clearly and in such a readable way is an amazing achievement. When he walked with us, he always said that he would not tolerate "follow the guru". He knew, at this great time of awakening, that we must become aware of the divine within us. And he has helped us so much, as students of compassion, with this wonderful contribution. It is filled with treasures that will enrich your life. Thank you Leo!
