This inspirational treasure is for all those eager to accept the challenge of life and to profit from the wonder of love."An investment in life is an investment in change. When you are changing all the time, you’ve got to continue to keep adjusting for change, which means that you are going to be constantly facing new obstacles. That’s the joy of living. And once you are involved in the process of becoming, there is no stopping. You're doomed! You’re gone! But what a fantastic journey!" "I think the loving person must return to spontaneity — return to touching each other, to holding each other, to smiling at each other, to thinking of each other, to caring about each other….Hugs are good, they feel nice, and if you don’t believe it, try it." "We've got to learn to trust again, to believe again. Of course it's a risk, but everything is a risk. We need to begin to go beyond just ‘being’ again. We’ve got to get in touch with being human and there’s a difference."
An incisive, sensitive exploration of the questions of life, death, mortality, and immortality uses the leaves of a tree as symbols of enjoying life to the fullest and accepting mortality with dignity and equanimity

This holiday classic contains personal stories based on Christmas memories. Five of the stories appeared originally in Woman's Day magazine, which initiated a tradition of printing an annual Buscaglia Christmas story during most of the 1980s. In his warm, humorous way, Dr. Buscaglia shares seven holiday episodes from his life, including his hilarious adventure in producing a school Christmas pageant with second-graders as well as the poignant insights that came from spending Christmas in a hospital, recovering from heart surgery. He tells how each event reinforced his belief in the value of caring and love. Leo also reminds us that Christmas can last more than one day-that the spirit and magic of the season can thrive all the time. Peace, joy, and goodwill are not seasonal; they are life-sustaining, life-enhancing, hopeful words that should be spoken, sung, and practiced all the months of the year. Seven Stories of Christmas Love is Leo's Christmas gift to his friends and admirers. "This book is a Christmas sharing. There are no villains mentioned here, no hard hearts, no skeptics. I have left this for others to write. This short work is for those who have no trouble accepting miracles, who don’t require explanations, who still believe in love, generosity, devotion, goodness, and the wonder of life.” -Leo Buscaglia, PhD, from the Introduction
