I can relate to this, we were too poor to afford books. I remember the joy I felt when our teacher took us to the library. I couldn't believe they let me take books home! Things were never the same again. I love this man's voice!
Great talk!!! Dr. Luzzi nails it... He really motivated me to go back to books and enjoy the world of literature. His personal story is so touching and vivid. The rule of fours is so interesting!!! Thank you, Dr. Luzzi.
This probably the most beautiful talk I’ve heard, regardless of the beautiful way of putting literature, I also enjoyed listening and empathising with him; it was healing as it was educational. Thank you.
There is always a kernal of truth in fictions or else you wouldn't care about what happened to a character or how he felt and what motivated people in doing things. Human nature and human experience are the same in any age and in any place. It is relatable and cross borders and timeless. I can imagine Joseph Luzzi as a teacher, inspiring and passionate. Love literature. When you have a good book, you've got good company. And you don't feel lonely.
The amount of passion this man has for literature is palpable. The experience rolling of in waves and now all I wanna do is hold a book and get lost in it after this listening him.
Great talk indeed. We call books as best friends on earth because as Luzzi mentioned, they can take you to any part of earth, talk to you, laugh and grieve with you, questioning, loving with beauties, relevance, and whatnot. In fact, here I am remembered of a remarkable story "THE BET" written by great Soviet author Anton Chekov. It was the power of literature and reading that helped Luzzi to overcome the tragic passing away of his wife before leaving behind a beautiful doll with whom he loves to read. Thanks for such a powerful speech. Regards.
What a beautiful, touching video. It's the kind of video that help us feel less lost, more connected to others, and more appreciative of life. Thank you for sharing your story, Joseph. ❤
Even since elementary days, I'm already fond of reading books. I remember, when my aunt asked me to watch her store, I would be so happy knowing that there were books that were filed up inside. I would lock myself inside and read all those books. I remember I love reading poetry back then, even pocketbooks. I was in high school when I got to read novels for it was only that time that I have the money to buy those kinds of books. I was also into crime fiction and nonfiction. I read Harry Potter series, The Nation, books of Dan Brown. The best part was I fell in love with Edgar Allan Poe, Dante Alighieri, Robert Frost, William Ernest Henley, Shakespeare, Rizal, and more. I read all genres of books. I just love them, they are my best confidant ever.📚💙💙💕🥰
Fiction gives us access to *empirical data* _without actually having to live through the experiments._ This is why it is critical to training our intuition, delivering wisdom, giving us *a feel for a situation* which may make _intuitive sense_ (aka *wisdom* ) to you, in relation to some _totally different_ *situation* in which you find yourself in your life. You can then “apply” this wisdom to that situation now. The data that cannot be acquired through direct experience, can be acquired through reading fiction. This additionally may cause a _self-fulfilling prophecy_ effect: basically, my own life has often felt like it resembles a combination of Yossarian and Zaphod Beeblebrox... possibly not a mere coincidence. Reading fiction is living vicariously, included with the deal is a dose of the hard-won wisdom of the protagonist. Amazing talk, thank you for this 🍻
One of the most enriching, beautiful Ted talks, teachings , words of wisdom I ´ve ever heard!. I´m from Argentina, come from an Italian family and italian was , is actuallly my mother tongue. I loved hearing those wise , short pieces of calabrese dialect!. The dialect I learned was parmesan, also full of wisdom , beauty , musicality...Thanks, Joseph, Giuseppe, Beppe!!!
What an insight towards literature. In this great speech I'm happy to know some books and authors that he mentioned ,more over after watching this video most of the people willl start reading books . Wonderful speech, v surprised to see less number of views !!!
Knowing that he's an Italian, my heart. Haha!! In reading books, Italy has become my favorite place. It was and is still the place I want to go to. Particularly in Florence, Italy.💕
I enjoyed this very much. I spent weekends at my Nani's, would bring books, and could easily finish one on a Saturday morning. You brought a smile to my face as I remember her telling me to put the books down because I was going to get a headache. I too did not listen. :)
Coming from an italian background I could relate to Professore Luzzi's story it was a joy to be reminded of our peasant family stories .My Aunt and Father have stories we love to hear again and again ! And so good to hear Professor Luzzi's great take on literature ,Grazie Professore! It would be amazing to have you as a teacher! Long life to you ! .
This is really a great video to watch.❤ Being a literature student I am always sceptical about about syallabus whether it is important thing to do or not but this video gave me a new video to reengage myself with my curriculum , I don't know how to use the things I go through but this video gave a new perspective so thank you so much 😊
Thank you for this engaging and immersive presentation. Such a funny and informative way to explore the beauty and the transcendence of literature upon our lives ❤️
"Literature is the opposite of fake news. Fake news pretends it's true and tries to manipulate you into believing it. Literature is imaginative, tells you that it is and it leads you to the truth. An Imaginative situation that leads to the truth." - Joseph Luzzi As a journalism student, I really want to put this as my personal quote. People nowadays are narrow minded and blinded by the amount of information on the internet and it filled their mind and heart with hatred if you told them the truth. I'm wishing here in my country that books will be meta once again. I'm afraid that banning our localize books closes our mind of what we think and interpret it to the reality or the state of the person living in. Books helped me realize the wrong doings from our world and authors are doing their best to create stories that gives a tale on how we, the readers are implenting this to reality so this kind of mistake will not happen and open our minds of what we think and preserving this memory and words for the future.
For those who want to get completely immersed in a story and fall in love with literature I would thoroughly recommend looking into the works of Fyodor Dostoevsky. You will be absolutely dumbstruck by the amount of investment you place on the characters and ideas being portrayed. Russian literature will truly change your life and allow you to be more insightful in all your experiences and circumstances.
I can relate to this, we were too poor to afford books. I remember the joy I felt when our teacher took us to the library. I couldn't believe they let me take books home! Things were never the same again.
I love this man's voice!
I didn't notice the voice, but now that you mention it, I can say it's quite nice. It's soothing.
This is underwhelmingly underrated. Respect to you, sir.
Great talk!!! Dr. Luzzi nails it... He really motivated me to go back to books and enjoy the world of literature. His personal story is so touching and vivid. The rule of fours is so interesting!!! Thank you, Dr. Luzzi.
How should I practice this rule of fours, if say, I cannot finish one book in forty five minutes?
What a great teacher, great speaker and strong man. Thankful to hear this.
This probably the most beautiful talk I’ve heard, regardless of the beautiful way of putting literature, I also enjoyed listening and empathising with him; it was healing as it was educational. Thank you.
The Divine is apparent, no?
Hello
There is always a kernal of truth in fictions or else you wouldn't care about what happened to a character or how he felt and what motivated people in doing things. Human nature and human experience are the same in any age and in any place. It is relatable and cross borders and timeless.
I can imagine Joseph Luzzi as a teacher, inspiring and passionate. Love literature.
When you have a good book, you've got good company. And you don't feel lonely.
Salute to Dr.Joseph Luzzi.Thanks.
The amount of passion this man has for literature is palpable. The experience rolling of in waves and now all I wanna do is hold a book and get lost in it after this listening him.
This gave me goosebumps. I need a teacher like him.😭
Writing literature gives great vibes ❤️✨
What a beautiful talk Dr. Luzzi, truly the literature can change our lives.
Great talk indeed. We call books as best friends on earth because as Luzzi mentioned, they can take you to any part of earth, talk to you, laugh and grieve with you, questioning, loving with beauties, relevance, and whatnot.

The Russian writer.
@@dankalka3061 At that period it was USSR. I am sure that if Chekhov were alive today, he would have cried & discarded present-day Russia!
I never got so immersed in a TED talk ever before ! so charismatic he is and all the perspectives are worth consideration as well.
Surprises me to see such less views on such a brilliant talk. Truly inspirational. 👍
If a girl bounces up n down n shake sideways, it will attract more likes n views. That tells a lot about us
Agreed! This should definitely have more views!
Anything that’s educational in America people shouldn’t expect abundance of views or likes.
Joseph Luzzi: Inspiring professor, Inspiring human being. Dio ti benedica, Giuseppe.
Dr. Luzzi is so calm and collected with such an inspiring story to tell. Literature can be the cure to life's many problems.
multi hardships ..Yes, You are right
I fell in love with his storytelling, in like 45 seconds.
He must be a beloved teacher.
one o the best TEDx videos about literature I have ever seen!!!!! Bravo!!
Simply suuuperb, I don't have words to describe... You have kindled back my love for literature .
His personal life tragedies and sorrows polished his ability and personality and the way he analyze the thing
Don't know how I missed this video for an year... ♥️ Such a deep vision but a simple one...
What a great speaker! I want to hear more from him
I like his talk so much, It is fluent and very very confident. I think he is the greatest person who attracts me a lot
What a beautiful, touching video. It's the kind of video that help us feel less lost, more connected to others, and more appreciative of life. Thank you for sharing your story, Joseph. ❤
"Storytelling is the most powerful way to put ideas into the world.” - Robert McKee
I want him to be my professor in Master of Arts in Literature
Me also I loved him from the very begining; he inspired me to see what is unkown to ordinary people.
A new look at literature. Exciting Lecture.
I agree with him, everything he shared will bring us interest to read books and explore the literature of the world.
wow. I could listen to this man talk for hours
My all time favourite ted talk....Can not count how many times I watched it!
Beautifully inspiring - what a guy!
6:22, "I wanted my life back and you cannot get it back, you have to rebuild it". Strikes differently at the dark night of your downfall days.
There was a very serenity in this video which I can not exactly explain, loved to hear him : )
This is what literature does. Thank you,sir.
Even since elementary days, I'm already fond of reading books.
I remember, when my aunt asked me to watch her store, I would be so happy knowing that there were books that were filed up inside.

I read all genres of books.
I just love them, they are my best confidant ever.📚💙💙💕🥰
Because of a book I was inspired to go study in Firenze where I met my Italian husband! Still together since 1971!
Beautiful story, beautifully told. Thank you!!!
What a beautiful talk. Thank you so much Dr. Luzzi - I left this video totally inspired.
This is a must-watch! The image of Machiavelli putting on his best outfit to sit-down and read for hours is hilarious/awesome.
One of the best Ted talks so far..

What an amazing talk!
Wonderful, indeed. Can someone please explain to me whether Dr L is advocating reading the different books at the same time, or consecutively?
Great teacher

Stories, telling stories… don’t miss the film Waterland with Jeremy Irons, Sinead Cusack and a very young Ethan Hawke.
