Leo Buscaglia, professor at the University of South California, is known for his “Love 1A” course and book “Love” and for giving hugs to anyone who wanted one after each lesson.
This always both intrigued and weirded me out. Which means, it fascinated me.
In my actual reality (not as much in my head), I remember the book being a decent read.
This reference got me as far as reading some of his work. Interesting stuff, especially for someone like me that spends far more time in a cerebral worldview…
