BIG IDEA
Study Love
FROM THE BOOK“If he desired to know about automobiles, he would, without question, study diligently about automobiles.
If his wife desired to be a gourmet cook, she’d certainly study the art of cooking, perhaps even attending a cooking class. Yet, it never seems as obvious to him that if he wants to live in love, he must spend at least as much time as the auto mechanic or the gourmet in studying love.”

Brian's Notes
I’m deliberately repeating the intro quote here because I want to make sure you read it. :)
Isn’t it kind of BIZARRE that we easily spend years and tens of thousands of dollars on our educations and often don’t spend a minute or a dollar studying what is arguably the most important subject of our lives: LOVE?!?
I think so, too.
Thankfully, we’ve got Buscaglia to help us out!
Go buy your books on Love and take some workshops! Become a master!
As Leo says: “I would not want to form a partnership with an architect who has only a little knowledge of building or a broker who has a limited knowledge of the stock market. Still, we form what we hope to be permanent relationships in love with people who have hardly any knowledge of what love is.”
And, remember: “It’s never too late to learn anything for which you have a potential. If you want to learn to love, then you must start the process of finding out what it is, what qualities make up a loving person and see how these are developed. Each person has the potential for love. But potential is never realized without work. This does not mean pain. Love, especially, is learned best in wonder, in joy, in peace, in living.”

(Where to start? Well, if you’re feelin’ it, DEFINITELY start by picking up this book, read it, mark it all up. Start practicing what you’re learning. And, I *highly* recommend Gay & Katie Hendricks’ work on Conscious Living & Loving. I’ve spent 5 days in their workshops with my love and the experience was absolutely transformative. Read the Note I wrote on their work, learn more about what they’re up at hendricks.com and check out their book Conscious Living!)
Let’s start with Rule #1: You must…
