One of the greatest experts on love

As a professor of education at the University of Southern California, Leo started a course entitled, simply, “Love.” The rest is history. Leo became an international phenomenon. His lectures always attracted standing-room-only audiences.

His books always hit the top of the bestseller lists. His words offered hope to people in every walk of life. Leo led us to realize that every moment of life is precious.

Leo truly tapped into something special, and he practiced what he preached. Leo’s other wonderfully inspiring Nightingale-Conant programs are Loving Each Other, The Way of the Bull, and Love.
