Hugging Life: A practical guide to artful hugging is a ground-breaking book that reaches past society’s taboo on touching and brings an inspiring message to a world that has lost the ability to connect and communicate authentically with others in the most basic and important way… hugging. If you sometimes think to yourself, “I need a hug,” you may be more right than you know.
