A worldwide bestseller, Living, Loving, Learning is a lesson that prepares any of us for a better relationship with life and those around us. Giving, accepting, not being intimidated by limits and adversity, trusting, living well, and loving—above all, loving. These are some of the lessons present in Buscaglia's discourse that, upon a broader analysis, can be identified in the daily lives of all those who make the best and most joyful use of life.
In "Living, Loving, and Learning ," Leo Buscaglia created a guide for educators based on love—how and what should be taught. According to the author, teachers should be like a bridge, who, after helping with a hypothetical crossing, should leave their students free to chart their own paths.
In other words, we need to be more concerned with the human being we're creating than with the student and their performance. More than just transmitting content, we need to teach how to live, and for that, love is essential.
With these thoughts, this work has become a reference not only for teachers, but for anyone seeking a meaningful life. Perhaps the most important lesson of Living, Loving, Learning is that in everything you do, love is needed more than skill.
Since its release, while I was still teaching education at the University of South Carolina, this book has become an essential guide to the art of loving and teaching.
