.زندگی با عشق چه زیباست <> Zendegi ba eshgh cheh zibast

I just discovered Leo Buscaglia and it has been like looking in the mirror and seeing someone just like me looking back – I don`t mean physically, I mean in his heart and sould and my heart and soul. I come to this review with that energy – a whole hearted belief in the wisdom of Buscaglia`s words, vision. It is my wholehearted desire that these messages and similar messages continue to grow. This book is a compilation of transcripts of many talks given by Dr. Buscaglia. In reading the words, you will feel as if he is addressing you personally. You will laugh (and cry) at his stories, be challenged by his insights and be inspired by his presence on the written page. One of my favorite chapters is `Teach Life` – where in his true form, he shares about his love for Valentine`s Day, his most informative role models and how the truth of a sacred Sufi story still rings true in today`s world. The chapter `Bridges, Not Barriers` is also excellent and rang so familiar, it was as if Buscaglia was walking around in my brain… and since he is no longer on the physical plane… well, you just never know! *wink* One of quotes from the book is found on page 73: `Knowledge is not wisdom! Learning alone is not wisdom. Wisdom is the application of knowledge and facts. Wisdom is realizing you know nothing. Wisdom is saying, `My mind is open. Wherever I am, I am just beginning. There is more to be realized by a hundred fold than what I know`. That is the beginning of wisdom. This is a book you will be glad you own. You can literally open to any page and find a gold nugget. Buscaglia simply delivers love over and over and over again.
