Leo Buscaglia - Love, Choice, Responsibility

[@madbug1965]

I grew up watching Dr. Leo on PBS. In 2021 he is still my therapy.

[@greensmoothie3456]

Same!!!

[@markwood3565]

I know exactly what you mean. I come from an entire extended family which “doesn’t need that”-which is precisely why I did.

[@roblabow9702]

Same here.🙂

[@johnperrigo6474]

I always describe him as an "unconventional motivational speaker" before they had a name for it.

[@XxowendanxX]

His mom in heaven should be proud 👏 😊

[@wildheart6957]

I wonder what Leo would say in 2020. We need more of this in the world.

[@datzme49]

#truth

[@ssnoc]

I discovered Leo in the 70’s and he made such an impression on me - phenomenal speaker and teacher - 50 years later and I’m still searching out his videos 👍

[@luracochairs]

Leo Buscaglia is one of the greatest lovers of humanity that the world has ever known. Thanks for this Michael Olpin.

[@commodorestone]

I was a very sad young man. Hearing Dr. Buscaglia's message of love, life, forgiveness and joy changed my life; and saved it no doubt as well. What a treat to find him again 30 odd years later. Though departed from this world he's still sending out ripples of love to the universe! Thanks for posting.

[@herdfan1990]

+Henry Stone YES!

[@russellhueners8499]

Got a hug from him in 1972 Milwaukie High School

[@greensmoothie3456]

Can you describe it? Would live to know what you remember....

[@gailchypyha3587]

I bought all of Leo's tapes and listened to them on my tape recorder. He was an amazing, warm-hearted man who gave so much love, wisdom, laughter, and joy to the world. We need you now in today's world more than ever.❤

[@UDX-340]

Bought a used book Love in 1983 and it was the most important dollar i ever spent..

[@Artistexplorer13]

I bought Living, Loving, Learning in 1982 as a high-schooler and it was my first self-help book.

[@MrCoopla]

Mark Elford love changed my life. I've lent it out to many people and some read it, some don't. I always get it back though (it's actually with someone else right now) and I'll get it back. And I'll re read it. If I don't I get complacent, lost. Lost in this 2017 reality of..people being so distant from each other. On their phones, so far away, disconnected, lonely. I can be that way too if I get complacent. Thanks god for love.

[@kmdansu]

So did i. 1982 i chanced on his lecture. Home alone flicking the remote ..i cried a river. Gave up trying to be a Christian. Love is all.

[@danialhowe9814]

I remember the 1st time i heard of LEO, he had a special on PBS and it was playing on the television in the hospital room the day my son was born.... can you imagine? the very first voice my son heard was leo :)

[@sharonallison9922]

WELL YOUR SON HEARD THE VOICE OF AN ANGEL SWEETIE....LOVELY....🙏💝😇

Ma pen lie

[@SusanRoberts-f9t]

I have loved Leo for decades. I have really, really missed him 😢. Thank you for sharing this.

[@michaelolpin]

You're welcome 😊

[@jimkatz1]

I have used LEO videos -mainly The Art of Being Fully Human - in classes for 40 years. Never gets old. Always inspirational.

[@user-jl1ib8we5h]

True😂 He's timeless! ❤❤😄😁

[@user-jl1ib8we5h]

I had him on VHS. I think they accidentally thrown out.

[@TheTraveler2222]

Sad we don't have speakers like him today

[@anaromero9882]

Asca young married mother he was my life saver. My favorite that has taken me through many ups and downs was” If you cried and laughed all in one day it has been a great day” because it proves you are alive and have feeling and it is great that you are living!

[@robertbennie7889]

Leo is still a true force in my life. So many years ago I heard his "Love" tape and was never the same again. Love and Dance On.

[@sweetefelicity]

What a beautiful soul he was! I've loved him since I was little.

[@gailchypyha238]

I miss you....wish you were stlll here..I would love to hear what you would talk about in today's world...how you would help us cope. I listened to u in the 80's but didn't get the chance to see you in person. The world still misses you and we still need you Leo..gone but never forgotten. Your words are inspirational....God Blessed us with an Angel when you were with us. RIP

[@ksulman10]

Watching this in 2018, I feel so sad. How much we need these lessons and how incredibly far away we are from this. I wonder how he would've reacted if he ever saw the hate in our society. I was going through twitter and the amount of hate in the comment sections scared me so much that I came running to his videos. It's insanity out there and we need these lessons more then anything in the world.

[@sharonallison9922]

THAT'S ALRIGHT MY DARLING....I RUN HERE ALSO..💝🌎🙏💝🌎😇💝💝💝💝

[@XxowendanxX]

His comments on how useless phds are are spot on ❤

[@rebeccayoung6344]

I watched it all. Thank you. I remember seeing this on PBS and buying his book.

[@anthonylos]

Decades later and we need him more and more.

[@sharonallison9922]

[@deancampbell8856]

We have forgotten, how essential his teachings are, to all of us, that love should take the centerstage, and becoming friends with all our strangers around us, and being truly human should be our main career.

[@shawnstanton638]

28 years ago l began the journey of sobriety and l read his book LOVE What an amazing experience I was the boy in his introduction that drew trees with all colors and wild He grabbed me thru his words Still read and listen to him Trying to bring more love to the world Thank you

[@williamhensley8698]

I could not for the life of me remember his name. I heard him one time when I was teenager in the eighties and his lecture struck me in the most profound life changing way. So here we are now, and I could not remember his name. I googled every Italian name that was close to what I thought it was and came up with nothing. I finally googled "professor of love" and there it was...the keys to joy. He is the Professor of Love.

[@greensmoothie3456]

How wonderful, so glad you have rediscovered Leo!!

[@jeffreyc.mcandrew8911]

He would be a big help to todays generation.

[@Attilat]

Today's generation doesn't deserve this gem of a man.

[@sharonallison9922]

HE WAS/IS AN AMAZING CREATURE 🙏😇💖

[@10000StepTherapy]

My childhood hero.

[@40sSonggirl1]

Such a beautiful man. He gave his speeches and lived what he talked about. Wish he was still with us, but so thankful for these old clips. I love Leo!!

[@jasminfarah69]

I love this men’s speech’s! I wish all the teachers behave as he is.

[@joruhop]

Everyone should listen to Leos words every day till it sinks in. If we taught this to our kids we would not have all the disrespect we have today. We should learn the real meaning of Love !!!!!!!

[@40sSonggirl1]

+John Hopple I've listened to him over and over the last few days. I hadn't heard his passionate lectures in years. I agree, these should be played in schools everyday! Listening to Leo makes me want to get out and do something!!

[@joruhop]

He was the best speaker I ever had the privilege to listen too!

[@AnanyaChattopadhyay09]

🙏accidentally bumped in to this clip.. I needed him, am from India ... I love his passion .. He is d man !!

[@mililarosa]

I watched him every time I had the chance and read his books. He was contagious... Still is. DON'T MISS OUT ON LOVE.

[@EllinonEnosis]

His words are so warm and full of love that it makes me cry. I wish i could give him a hug. Funny how only Greek and Italians we like to hug and show our emotions. Salute Leo.

[@debowiec3]

More than just Greek & Italians.........many more!!

[@sergiobanuelos4140]

Whenever I'm feeling depressed, I come and see this video. Hearing him passionately talk about love and family will always, without fail, make me forget about my troubles and bring a smile to my face!

Humanity 101 and beyond, Leo was the master teacher!

[@MelindaMallvoz]

He taught me about love when I was fleeing my family. He allowed me to be me. And it was amazing! What a prize he is!

[@troche1962]

I love this man ...he's brought me to tears many times .....I've listen to him for so many years.....I love when Leo speaks about family omg especially his mama.....when he speaks about family that's it I'm already with a lump in my throat.....I think this world is so very angry and filled with hate.....if Leo was around I'm sure he wud say something about it .....and Leo I think said that he wud stay after and hug everyone in the audience that wanted a hug...lol lol......now that's Love..lol........Choose love people it's just so easy

[@patriciaconyers5033]

Love this man!! He was my inspiration in my early 20's to go to college and work in the field of human services & I worked with the handicapped for 20 years. Loved spreading the love & working with all ages!! Always remember that motivation thanks to Leo!! God bless him!!!💙

I LOVE THIS MAN!! THE WORLD WILL BE MUCH BETTER WHEN A PLENTY OF MEN LIKE HIM CAN APPEAR TO MAKE IT BETTER!! TO READ HIS BOOKS IS ALL THE HUMAN BEING NEED FOR THE REAL LIFE, THE LIFE THAT ALMOST ALL PEOPLE AROUND US WANT TO CREATE OUR TOTAL FORGETFULNESS!!

[@nancym.838]

I grew up watching Leo’s seminars with my mother on TV. I loved watching him then as a teenager and now at 56. Everyone can relate to his stories about life.

[@michaelolpin]

Definitely. He captures people in the right places.

[@everygooddeed1]

One of the Greatest Men on Earth!! Great memories when I took my Grandparents to the Chicago Visit ... Thank you LEO

[@greensmoothie3456]

Yes!!

[@rickmontgomery3037]

Such a wonderful and inspirational man RIP......My parents and I would watch him back in the 80's when I was just in my teens and he was on PBS. I very fondly recall how he'd always talk about his Momma and also give the audience members hugs at the end of his lectures. Truly unique traits back then that are sadly lacking in this day and age.

[@michaelolpin]

I so agree with you, Rick. I'm glad you enjoyed rewatching this legend.

[@debowiec3]

Bought a book of his back in '85......"Living, loving and learning"......not quite sure what made me buy it as I'd never heard of him. Great book though and worth every penny!!!!

[@sharonallison9922]

ALL OF HIS BOOKS ARE GREAT....

[@daveredinger1947]

Yes. It's awesome. I read it every day

[@user-jl1ib8we5h]

"Love". Is great too.

THANKS for this! I spent much of the 1990s watching Les Brown and Wayne Dyer on PBS, and both of them mentioned this guy. So I finally decided to check him out today! I like him!

[@sacredspacesanctuary2053]

I just remembered him after 20+ years of not hearing or seeing anything from him. Must have made a dramatic impact on my soul. Perhaps Ayahuasca brought it up, not sure. But so happy it did.

[@irrelevantism]

"choose Love choose Life" Leo has said it all .........

[@fashionearrings]

I wish he was still around. This planet is just getting unbearable to live in. He would've known how to make sense of things.

[@teegeemedia]

You're so right, things are getting unbearable.

[@bubblesofgrace]

Thank Divine that his message is for a time such as now; and we still benefit from his speeches today. His legacy is very much alive for us today. Share share share.

[@fashionearrings]

I know. I miss him so much. I was a kid back then. And even at that age I was so moved. His message is still and will always remain fresh and young.. evergreen and immortal.

[@robertbennie7889]

Fashion Earrings I heard his "infamous" Love lecture on my first night in a psychology class. One hour and twenty minutes later I was a completely changed human being. A year later I read his book titled "Love". In all of history, he found, no one had ever titled a book with that one word. Magic, perhaps, his words still guide me.

[@fashionearrings]

Leo was the first man that I could believe as knowing what it actually meant to love someone. He had the strong family connections that I only dreamt of or fantasized about.

[@klattalexis]

Unfortunately in 2021 the word "love" has become synonymous with sex, at least for the male of our species. I've tried going to folks in my street ministry with Bible in hand talking about love & I get in return, "Oh yes sex is something we all need and can't get enough of", then saying, something like "God is Love" & Jesus tells us to "love one another including our enemies", seems to leave them speechless. My how our world has changed and not for the better either. Thank you for posting Leo's talks.

[@camiloalejandroav8103]

The tapes are old, the styles are outdated, everything about this pathetically dated...And what would Leo say? So what!! The message is timeless. Love is timeless. I learned from Leo how to be a loving father, husband, son and brother. We need Leo today more than ever. If you loved Leo as I do, its very simple. Go forth and love.
