Positivity Quote of the Day! – ”The easiest thing in the world to be is you.” ~Leo Buscaglia
Felice Leonardo “Leo” Buscaglia Ph.D. (31 March 1924 – 12 June 1998), also known as “Dr. Love,” was an author and motivational speaker, and a professor in the Department of Special Education at the University of Southern California.

The profundity of his subject, however, almost invariably struck a responsive chord for many in an area frequently regarded as deficient in their lives, and by 1998 his books had reached eighteen million copies in print in seventeen languages.
