Before reading the book, I listened to one of Buscaglia’s lectures to get a feel of his style, voice and tone in order to read it “in his own voice”, as my friend advised me.
The book is based on a lecture he gave, the style of writing is more of a transcription to a lecture than a book. I felt that I was listening to a wise person who understands life very well, despite the differences we both have and the filters that make us see the world so differently.
Nevertheless, I appreciate how this book reminded me of experiences and nuances of love, and how broad the meaning is. We are so consumed by the romantic face of love that is overused in mainstream media and social media, that we took all other forms of love for-granted. I also liked how the author backed his arguments with theories of philosophers and sociologists, it helped me connect with his teachings on love and life and understand some of the episodes I have been through in the past.
This book is a good reminder of core values in humanity, a recharge to our love tank before giving others.
