Leo Buscaglia – författare

In his mission to help people attain what he felt was their greatest gift, Leo Buscaglia famously developed a university course on love. This remarkable volume was the result of the interactions of students in his course. Here is what he found love is really about . . . If you feel something, let people know that you feel.Love is like a mirror. When you love others you become their mirror and they become yours.Real love always creates, it never destroys.One does not fall “in” or “out” of love. One grows in love.Love is open arms. If you close your arms about love, you will find that you are left holding only yourself. Love is for everybody who has ever reached out to touch the heart of another.

This book reveals the truth of self Leo Buscaglia has discovered on two trips to Asia by traveling the "way of the bull," as well as describing the people and physical locales of Southeast Asia prior to the Vietnam War. The meaning of the title originated in the 12th century Zen book, 10 Bulls by Chinese Zen master Kakuan. In this book the bull represents life, energy, truth and action. "The way" concerns the possible step one man might take to gain insight, find oneself and discover one's true nature. Leo reminds us, however, that each person must find that path individually in order for it to have true meaning.
