Leo Buscaglia

In the critically acclaimed The Art of Being Fully Human, Dr. Buscaglia addresses the critical and often neglected issue of what it means to be human, examining our emotions, and the way we experience them. Speaking before a live audience he offers his thoughts on sharing, loving and living life to the fullest. A warm, enthusiastic and dynamic speaker, Dr. Buscaglia reaches out to touch each member of his audience personally.

While teaching at USC, Buscaglia was moved by a student's suicide to contemplate human disconnectedness and the meaning of life, and began a non-credit class he called Love 1A. This became the basis for his first book, titled simply LOVE. His dynamic speaking style was discovered by the Public Broadcasting System (PBS) and his televised lectures earned great popularity in the 1980s. At one point his talks, always shown during fund raising periods, were the top earners of all PBS programs. This national exposure, coupled with the heartfelt storytelling style of his books, helped make all of his titles national Best Sellers; five were once on the New York Times Best Sellers List simultaneously.

Children and Breathing

“The inspiration for “Just Breathe” first came about a little over a year ago when I overheard my then 5-year-old son talking with his friend about how emotions affect different regions of the brain, and how to calm down by taking deep breaths — all things they were beginning to learn in Kindergarten at their new school, Citizens of the World Charter School, in Mar Vista, CA. I was surprised and overjoyed to witness first-hand just how significant social-emotional learning in an elementary school curriculum was on these young minds.” Julie Bayer Salzman & Josh Salzman
