Purchase options and add-ons

LIVING, LOVING AND LEARNING is a delightful collection of Dr. Buscaglia's informative and amusing lectures, which were delivered worldwide between 1970 and 1981. This inspirational treasure is for all those eager to accept the challenge of life and to profit from the wonder of love.

"An investment in life is an investment in change. When you are changing all the time, you’ve got to continue to keep adjusting for change, which means that you are going to be constantly facing new obstacles. That’s the joy of living. And once you are involved in the process of becoming, there is no stopping. You're doomed! You’re gone! But what a fantastic journey!"

"I think the loving person must return to spontaneity — return to touching each other, to holding each other, to smiling at each other, to thinking of each other, to caring about each other….Hugs are good, they feel nice, and if you don’t believe it, try it."

"We've got to learn to trust again, to believe again. Of course it's a risk, but everything is a risk. We need to begin to go beyond just ‘being’ again. We’ve got to get in touch with being human and there’s a difference."

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

I first received the hardcover in the summer of 1982 as a going-away present from a dear,
dear friend who knew how much I'd enjoyed Buscaglia's work, having read some of his earlier
books and seen his appearances on public television. It was quite the sentimental token to
take along as I embarked on what turned out to be a three-year adventure in Italy. A lot of
my first year there was very lonely, and Buscaglia's warm, soothing words were a comfort
to me in my most homesick times and gave me hope. More than merely a gift from a
good friend, the book itself became a friend that I could turn to again and again.

Weeks after returning to the States, in December 1985, I attended a performance of Lily
Tomlin's Broadway show, and during the intermission, I noticed a man who could only have
been Leo Buscaglia chatting animatedly with a woman a few rows ahead. My heart raced; my
mind debated. After all, wasn't he there to enjoy himself as much as I was? Yet I had to meet
the man whose work had touched me so. I mustered all my courage and approached him. "I'm
sorry to interrupt, but are you Leo Buscaglia?" He smiled warmly as he nodded. I blanked on
what to say next. Finally, thinking of what I considered to be his trademark, I blurted,
"Could I have a hug?" It was a magical moment. The man was so loving and genuine that I knew I'd done the right thing in going up to him--plus, it was the most heartfelt hug I've ever received in my life. That really cemented the book's meaning for me.

Are you in a rut? Feel all alone? In a relationship that isn't working? Maybe Leo can offer you some ways to put Love back into your life. He is not a guru. He understands peoples' needs and offers ways to start changing the way you think and look at life.

We'd Be a Better World if Everyone Read this Book

Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2014

I remember reading this book after watching Dr. Buscaglia's lectures on PBS back in the 1970s. I cannot imagine what kind of a person I would have become had I not discovered the Love Doctor back then. This book hits universal accords with all of humanity. It's basic, primal, necessary, and essential to wellness. Get it. Read it. Hug someone.

What I find interesting in this book is that perhaps unconsciously I incorporated many of these ideas from decades ago into my life. Another interesting reflection is that some of what Leo Buscaglia promoted in his book and teaching from the 1980s would now be considered politically incorrect or even inappropriate given his "direct" approach. Perhaps that would indicate that society has shifted into an unhealthy state of feeling victimized or harmed by simple reality instead of looking at life for what it is and dealing with it.

I wish I would have got the chance to meet Leo Buscalgia in person! He writes in such an easy to understand way and a way that draws you in. Has you laughing and thinking at the same time about words that he says from his heart. You can feel his genuine, caring spirit come through his words as you read. Wonderful words of wisdom that won't grow old!

I have read the book years ago. I have a signed copy of Leo Buscaglia's hard back copy. I went to a seminar to listen to him and many of us got to meet him. It was fabulous. He was amazing human being and very inspiring.

I learned about Dr. Leo Buscaglia's book around early 80. I lend my book to a friend almost thirty years ago and completely forgot about it. Last few years, often I thought about his book and I remembered how much I enjoyed it. Unfortunately, all I remembered his first name and could not remember his last name. Finally, tonight I told myself, I need to find this book and thanks to Google and Amazon I did it. It is a great book for all ages and will teach us how to be a good human being regardless of your race, religious and nationality. I am very thrilled to read this book again and share it with my expanded families.
