The book you're referring to (I think) is called "Living, Loving and
Learning", written by Dr. Leo Buscaglia.  I've been reading it and I
also find the book very interesting, both in the ideas brought forth
by Leo and the writing style.  If you've seen Leo speak on TV, you'll
recognize the same warmth and enthusiasm he speaks with in the book
(and it's one of those books you can't put down once you start reading
a while).

Even though you may not be comfortable with the idea of hugging everyone,
Leo's emphasis on "being you", trying to find good things in people and
not being afraid to take risks (because, he says, if you choose life,
you have to accept risks) can only help us singles become livelier, more
loving people.  Hopefully, taking such a fresh attitude on life will
attract a lot more people to us (which will, at worst, help us make
friends).
