I'm sure it's a fine book. I just couldn't get into it.

So far, when it comes to self-help books, Leo Buscaglia is the only one I trust. I feel like so many other authors are writing such generic things, like "to escape sadness and be happy, just make happy thoughts" or are so annoyingly giddy that they just disappoint me and make me wanna smack their faces for being so ignorant of people's hardships and problems and of how delicate the human soul is!
However, Buscaglia is nothing like them, he's just amazing. He is an absolute cutie pie with a deep understanding of the human soul and a realistic view of the world. He managed to be very encouraging and inspirational without giving false hopes or exaggerating about things. He was genuinely empowering. So, so sweet! His stories and the way he handled people just make your heart melt! I mean, come on, the guy compared hard-to-find, good people to unicorns, how cute is that? He just did his best to make people smile and remind them how beautiful life is and how important it is to treat others with love. He was just so nice and kind and important. Love that man!
Bus 9 to Paradise is a great lil book to lift your spirits. 'Living, Loving, Learning' reamains my favorite of his, though!
