Gain Love: What Life Is All About Produced By Leo F. Buscaglia Conveyed As Paper Copy

glad I only paid a dollar for this, It was hokey. When I was a student in a summer program at the University of Minnesota in, a dear friend now deceased introduced me to this book, telling me how much he enjoyed reading it.


Leo Buscaglia I had had some awareness of through the televised lectures he gave on public television, So, I came to this book with an open mind, curious to see what Leo had to say on this subject, One of the statements he made I found particularly profound, and it is this: "Man has no choice but to love, For when he does not, he finds his alternatives lie in loneliness, destruction and despair, " Now that almostyears have passed and I've experienced much more of life, love and loss, I can say that no truer words were spoken.
Good enough book a tad dated but it got me thinking about

the subject of love, Buscaglia made a good point that we are taught to drive a care, we prepare for our jobs, a teacher helps us learn to read but nobody ever teaches us about love.


Quotes I liked:

"It's only love when given without expectation, " p.

Love lives in the moment it's neither lost in yesterday nor does it crave for tomorrow, Love is Now!" p.

"Just because the message may never be received does not mean it is not worth sending, " Segaki p.

"To love other you must love yourself, " p.

I liked the experiment with helping a family in Africa have enough food, helping a student finish his education at the school, or buying a copy machine to help themselves and how the students chose the copy machine because it directly impacted them.
Definite statement on the human condition, Bu kitap, yani Türkçe çevirisiyle 'Sevgi', hem hediye olduğu için hem de önemli konusu sebebiyle benim icin çok değerliydi.
Nitekim okuduğuma memnun da oldum, Kitapta üzerine düşünülmesi gereken sevgi kavramıyla ilgili önemli tespitler var, Sevgi konusuna biraz kafa patlatmak isterseniz, seni seviyorum ne demektir düşünmek isterseniz, sevgi nasıl oluşur, nasıl biter ya da biter mi üzerine akıl yürütmek isterseniz bu kitabı sevebilirsiniz.


Sevgi konusuyla ilgili olarak okuduğum ve çok sevdiğim bir diğer kitap Eric Fromm'un Sevme Sanatı kitabıdır.
Onu da şiddetle tavsiye ederim, Konuyu biraz daha teknik ele alan etkileyici bir kitaptır,

Biraz konu dışı da olsa paylaşmak istediğim bir nokta daha var,sene önce Sevme Sanatı'nı okuduğumda sevmeyi iyi anladığım ve öğrendiğim hissine kapılmıştım, Fakat geçenyıldaki yaşadığım bir sürü duyguyla beraber Sevgi kitabını okurken fark ettim ki Sevmek kitaplardan okuyarak öğrenilen bir kavram değil.
Her iki yazarın da belirttiği gibi, sevmek aktif bir eylemdir ve çaba gerektirir! “If he desired to know about automobiles, he would, without question, study diligently about automobiles.
If his wife desired to be a gourmet cook, shed certainly study the art of cooking, perhaps even attending a cooking class.
Yet, it never seems as obvious to him that if he wants to live in love, he must spend at least as much time as the auto mechanic or the gourmet in studying love.
”

“I hug everybodyjust come close to me, youre more than likely to get hugged, certainly touched, ”

Leo Buscaglia from Love

I smile as I type these wordsjust having Buscaglias book, Love, open in front of me is enough to make me happy.
:

Seriously. This is hands down one of my favorite books, Ive purchased at leastcopies of it, We used to give it away to all of our partners at my last business Zaadz, com and I used to bring a copy with me to nearly every business lunch I had, Im a little wacky like that, :

My hunch is youll fall in Love with Love as well, By the end of reading it, youll wish you could give Leo Buscagliaa former Professor of Love at USCa big ol hug.


Here are some of the Big Ideas:

, Study Love How else to master it
, Love Yourself Rule.
. Jump In! Immerse yourself!
, Say YES!! And, yes! And, yes!
, Grow in Love To your highest self,

May I echo Buscaglias recommendation and suggest that we live for creating joy for others and sharing our greatest gifts in the greatest service to the world!!

Brian i picked this up at a used bookstore years ago after a series of old love letters fell out of the front a sign i had to buy it i have thought about this love story for years.
a stephen gifted this to a valeria who had just moved to south america post breakup christmas ofand no longer believed in love.
he hoped this book would change her mind on the matter

finallyyy got around to reading it and was pleasantly surprised: buscaglias love is a sweet short philosophical inquiry into love which, despite its goofy outdateds language, made my heart smile.
its like a sugary, longwinded, sillier cousin to all about love which youd think would make me roll my eyes but !

stephen and valeria i hope u found love, if not with each other ltltI first read this book some twentyone or two year ago at university.
I recall reading passages again and again during the rough passages in my relationship with Dave B, And I recall that I latched onto his analogy of being a second rate banana versus a first rate and best juicy plum.
It changed me a bit or at the very least opened me up to seeking more of an understanding of myself, This is the third time I've read it straight through, though I have read passages of my old dogeared, heavily underlined copy dozens of times.
This time through reading a clean copy after two more decades of life experience I was drawn to the parts that referred to societal change through universal love.
Not that I don't like to put into practice the singular romantic and intimate love, but I think Leo Buscaglia was so much more visionary than he knew.
I bought and read six or seven of his books back then and now that he's dead I miss that big, boisterous hugger dearly! Have you ever thought.
. . What IS love Migraine Yeah, . . Read this book. This is probably the best book on human relationships that exists, It's not meant to be a selfhelp book, but it could easily be the best one of those as well, .
