Man with open heart & mind experiences joy on Asian travels.,
By Dan Brooks (s-n-d-brooks@erols.com) (Claymont, DE) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Way of the Bull (Mass Market Paperback)
If you enjoy books about spiritual journeys, other cultures, and/or travel essays, chances are you'll ejoy this one. Mr. Buscaglia is a very warm, friendly, positive person (but not in a sickly-sweet info-mercial way) and this fact comes across as he tours parts of Asia. He is a man who is happy just "being" wherever and with whomever he happens to be. It made want to be that kind of person, too. But he's not selling any "fix your life quick scheme". He's just someone trying to spread joy in his travels. And he spread some to me.

Relationships and the moment you possess are keys to Joy,

This review is from: Way of the Bull (Mass Market Paperback)
Renown for his writing about the human need for love and relationships, Leo F. Buscaglia shares his travels during the late '60s. Japan, Thailand, Hong Kong, Cambodia, Saigon, India, and Nepal are some of his destinations.It has been said it is not the destination but the journey that is important in one's travel. Buscaglia takes this a step further in "The Way of the Bull" and says that it is the relationships you make and the moment you possess that is paramount. He travels below his means to experience the reality of the culture he visits, and his reflections are windows on cultures and caricatures of different societies that he views through the various people he meets. The title, "The Way of the Bull," is taken from a Zen book written in the 12th Century. It also is the way one finds oneself through the process of seeking life, energy, truth and action. "This way has not always been easy, though it has been wondrous, full of excitement and discovery," Buscaglia says, as he grabs his suitcase and heads toward the approaching bus. "Travel joyously."

Wonderful stories,

This review is from: The Way of the Bull: A Voyage (Hardcover)
A great book filled with wonderful stories from the far east. I lived on that side of the world for 3 years, so it was great to read stories from these cultures from 30 yrs ago. A fast, uplifting read about humanity.
