The Ultimate Leo Buscaglia Library

Philosophers and poets through the ages have tried to examine the powerful concept of human love. Love has often been described as life's prime motivator, yet it remains one of our most puzzling experiences.

The late Dr. Leo Buscaglia was perhaps one of the greatest experts on love — a man who studied it intensely for most of his professional life as a professor at the University of Southern California. Moved by a student's suicide to contemplate human disconnectedness, he launched a non-credit class called Love 1A that quickly became one of USC's most popular courses, forming the basis of a runaway bestselling book and a decades-long career of speaking, television appearances, and audio programs.

In our current culture that seems so deeply divided, his message is needed now more than ever. Leo Buscaglia had a rare talent for showing us how to experience, understand, and share more love in our lives — and this ten-volume library collects the very best of his recorded work.
