Publisher's summary

Share in a joyful, enlightening journey!

In everyone's life, there's one journey that stands out...the one in which you discover yourself and your mission in life. Join Leo Buscaglia on his journey of a lifetime! Leo's destination: the Orient and beyond. Leo's mission: discovery of self. Rediscovery and verification of the ancient truths. And a search for beauty, friendship, and understanding.

With his lifelong and seasoned traveling partners - curiosity, compassion, and love - Leo embarks on what is destined to become a lengthy, wondrous, and sometimes arduous journey in The Way of the Bull: A Personal Search of Self-Fulfillment. Accept his heartfelt invitation to become his newest traveling companion. You will learn:

• The only thing that is certain for us is change. To battle change is waster of our time; the battle can never be won. To become the willing ally of change is to assure oneself a life.
• Don't spend your precious time asking, "Why isn't the world a better place"? It will only be time wasted. The question to ask is, "How can I make it better?" To that question, there is an answer.
• In the Inn of the World, there is room for everyone. To turn your back on even one person, for whatever reason, is to run the risk of losing the central piece of your jigsaw puzzle.

Of all his programs, Leo says, "This is the work I would like to be remembered for. Along the way I read many books. Experienced wondrous things. And met beautiful people in exotic lands. Each served to expand my mind, my visions, and my heart. I now know that we need ever go anywhere to find ourselves, for everything we need can be found anywhere if we are ready for it."

These six powerful audio programs are a stirring story of Leo's travels from Japan and Hong Kong to Cambodia and Calcutta on his personal quest for discovery, searching for the bull - the Chinese symbol of life - that lies within himself and all of us, the bull that must remain untethered and free to explore.

Misused Effects and Horrible Accents

This book, helped me as a young man to appreciate the beauty and uniqueness of the world and its people. As a young sailor I read the book over and over to help me see the bigger world and it’s people as I traveled and later lived over seas. This book was so dear to me that I often gave it as a gift to my young sailors as they embarked in life.

That having been said; this audible book is totally distracting from and demeaning to the message of Dr. Buscaglia. It comes off as a cheap travelogue and the music and sound effects distract from the narrative. Add to this the horribly racist accents given to the people met, and you get the sense that the producers wanted to present a cartoon version of them. I would strongly recommend a complete re-do of this powerful book and for goodness sakes take out the sales pitches.
