There has been quite a lot of talk about hugging and touching on the topic
recently, and I thought that a person by the name of Dr. Leo Buscaglia has
written quite a few works on the topics of love and loneliness. When I
discovered his work about 8 months ago on PBS (he has taped a number of
shows for them that pop up occasionally) he gave me quite a few new
insights into myself and into life in general. He has recently had a book
on the NYT best seller list (whose name has left me, of course) that is a
compilation of some of his more famous speeches, and it has helped me come
to a new understanding of my life and my relationships. Indirectly, it
speeded up the coming of my divorce-in-progress because it helped bring
into focus the things that I knew were not working but couldn't quantify. I
also feel that the attitudes and philosophies that I have gotten from his
works have been significant in helping me cope with a very traumatic
situation and the changes going on in my life. The 'Hug Doctor', as my soon
to be ex wife snidely calls him, has some very good things to say about
life and living, and I would recommend any of his works.
