Teach Me How To Love is the true story of Scott Kalechstein Grace, an unlicensed peddler on the streets of NYC, who, after years of being chased by the police, decides to chase his dreams instead. While sharing his inspired, improvisational singing, motivational speaking, and conscious comedy across three continents, Scott eventually discovers that what matters most to him is learning his love lessons at home - how to be vulnerable, how to forgive, how to love himself and others, and, perhaps the most difficult and daring adventure of all, how to let love in.

About the Author

Scott Kalechstein Grace lives in Marin, California with his lovely partner Venus, and their darling daughter Aysia. He is a writer/coach/comedian/speaker, as well as a singer/songwriter/recording artist/minister and workshop leader. He shares his uplifting music and messages at conferences, corporations, workshops, living rooms, schools, parties, churches, synagogues, weddings, private gatherings - wherever people are open to a lighthearted, humorous and entertaining approach to personal growth and entertainment. Scott's work promotes a sense of joy, safety, community, and playful celebration. His music sometimes evokes laughter, at other times tears, and people are often found singing and clapping and sometimes dancing along while he performs. A pioneer in the field of intuitive song, Scott is known for his unique ability to spontaneously create songs for individuals or groups, about any topic presented. His "Song Portraits" are a unique display of creativity, and always leave people deeply touched, delighted and amazed by such an in-the-moment creation. Currently with nine compact discs being distributed internationally, Scott travels as a transformational troubadour, giving inspirational talks sweetened with music and presenting inspirational comedy concerts salted and peppered with his story telling. Groups large and small seek him out to provide ice breaking, community building, celebration, humor and heart to their events. He has performed at the talks and workshops of popular authors and seminar leaders such as Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson, Alan Cohen, Byron Katie, Jack Canfield, Dr. John Gray, Dr. Bernie Siegel, and Barbara DeAngelis. Scott also conducts a variety of workshops of his own. When he leads these workshops he is quick to make himself vulnerable, sharing his realness- the fumblings, bumblings, learnings and triumphs of his own life. Of course, in all his talks and workshops he uses original songs to take the messages from an intellectual understanding to a heartfelt emotional level. And that is what Scott's music, his message and his life are about, living from the heart.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

At the age of eighteen I took my first personal growth workshop. From then on I took every one I could get my hands on. I spent over six figures in the ensuing years on trainings, classes, therapists, coaches, etc.

I led my first workshop when I was twenty three, and haven’t stopped since. For me, the key to being a great teacher is the commitment to being an enthusiastic student for life.

I attended a school (Aesclepion) that taught intuitive development, helping to activate the often dormant right side of the brain. This brought forth some unusual gifts, like knowing precisely what to say to clients without knowing how I knew.

I studied Non-Violent Communication, The Emotional Freedom Technique (Tapping, as it is now known), A Course in Miracles, Men’s Work, Inner Child Work, and a host of other modalities.

In 1985 I began writing and performing songs about the transformational process and became a recording artist and performer. Nine CD’s and three continents later, the traveling troubadour started writing books.

Along the way there have been some interesting side roads. My lifelong interest in comedy led me to performing stand up~opening for Robin Williams, Dana Carvey, and other comic legends. I also developed a wise and funny alter ego, the Spiritual Dr. Seuss, giving talks entirely in rhyme as if the good doctor himself was dispensing wit and wisdom to adults.

I love guest speaking at churches and conferences, weaving humor, music and poetry into my presentations.

My coaching practice began in 1996. I find it thrilling to be able to support people all over the world while in my cozy casita in Mexico.

I love meeting people where they are and listening in such away they feel seen, supported, and empowered.

I love my life. I want you to love yours. If I can help, let me know.

Many years a counselor and spiritual care provider, and myself an author and comprehensive reader, I never dreamed of finding a book that held me as tightly and touched me as deeply as "Teach Me How To Love." Scott Kalechstein Grace's genius as a master story teller is evidienced in his Museletters and videos, and in his public and private engagements. However, in this book he reaches an entirely new level of achievement. Scott takes off his clothes, so to speak, and stands naked and vulnerable in a way that enables the reader to look at the "well-clothed" but painful areas in his or her own life, and begin to realize hope, and a way for transformation - anger to love, fear to love, hatred to love, rejection to self-worth. This author is an amazing man, and I use that word in the sexist sense, because it is, in my professional experience, most extraordinary for a man to examine himself so authentically, much less to stand in the street and shout for all the world to look at him, exposed, broken, and healed. This book is an enthralling read for any academic or intellectual level because it is written in the language of the heart, and speaks to the depths of the soul. Its place at the top of my gift list will make life a lot less complicated for me this year.

One of the things that delights me most about this book is how comfortably Scott shares his story...the challenges, the inner voices, the inspiration. Because he shares his personal journey in a way that's honest and unguarded, it inspired me to see aspects of my own patterns that have been waiting to be discovered despite years of personal growth work. The humility and divinity make a lovely combination that helped me to see that spirituality and being human are really one in the same. What a gift! And he does it in a way that's so easy to read that I literally read half the book in one day! Did I mention that he's really funny? Wouldn't I love to see the world through his eyes for a day! LOL

My only wish is that the book came with a CD of all the songs that he shares lyrics of. The words are so inspired, I wanted to listen to them right then and there! Guess I'll have to seek out the music on his albums!

This is a book to be experienced. As I am reading it, I am sitting in a hotel room, and feeling so much I want to scream. However, I do not wish to explain myself to the police when someone calls 911. It's a good thing I have mastered the art of the silent scream from all my years in customer service.

Just as in his music, Scott's authenticity shines through in his writing, and it is delicious! Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars "My Spirit is Soaring Free"
Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2011
Oh my! What an experience. There I am on my porch-deck, crying - then laughing - then laughing - then crying. There was so much I resonated with in Scott Kalechstein Grace's book "Teach Me HOW TO LOVE"  Teach Me How to Love: A True Story That Touches Hearts & Helps With The Laundry . I absolutely loved it!!

Not only did I also live in New York City around the same time as Scott did, but I also went through a very similar search for meaning. I bookmarked some places that intrigued me like when Scott "focused like a laser beam on the here and now". It was during that time when Scott was a struggling artist selling laundry bags on the street's of the NYC boroughs and had to vigilantly be on the watch for the police. Scott wrote, "Perhaps the finest moments of connection happen when we are willing to abandon the popular script and improvise our own", speaking of when he handed a funny permission slip from his Mom to the police who came back later and wanted a copy of it since their cronies hadn't believe them.

Scott wrote of his laundry bag performance as a "ministry" which it truly was. Throughout the book we witness Scott's ability to be HERE and NOW no matter what he is doing and to transform day to day interactions into moments of "connection". My husband is a mainframe programmer and works in various cities but he always sees it truly as a venue to extend his love. My husband goes to work, much as Scott describes his work in this book: "excited and eager to make a small difference in people's lives, to bring a little levity to their gravity." People end up realizing that there's been a shift in their lives and they are just not the same as before and that's because their hearts have been touched by the extension of Love.

That's the gift Scott has and it's a gift he has now developed to the point of being able to transform his connection with others into an instant "Song Portrait".[He shared this talent recently on Scott's Facebook Page and his YouTube Channel!]

AH, and Scott shared so many synchronicities in his book! I love synchronicities! They are incredible, like when Scott "heard" to play "AMAZING GRACE" in the airport and a man in the crowd shared that he had just buried his Mom and that song was her favorite and how he felt it was a message from her. The man said, with tears in his eyes: "I felt her presence. I heard her telling me she was quite all right, and that she would always be with me."

Another time Scott was guided to pick up a little pamphlet at a workshop, just after asking for guidance in healing the relationship between himself and his mother and discovered that the pamphlet contained a conversation between the workshop leader and an unidentified person which was actually SCOTT! The conversation had occurred four years earlier at another workshop in which Scott was working out his relationship with his Mom!! Afterwards Scott got a chance to share the pamphlet with his Mom which began the healing of their relationship.

Throughout the book Scott shares his breakthroughs which are incredibly genuine and heartfelt. There was the time Scott got his white pants dirty just before having to stand up and give a talk and he was quite upset until he finally realized, "Is there ever a moment or place where the opportunity to express love doesn't exist?" NO!! Now is the only time there is and LOVE can always be expressed. Love waits on welcome, not on time.

Regarding Soulmates, Scott wrote: "I imagine if Jesus were preaching to today's crowd on the Soulmate subject that he might say: 'Seek ye first the Kingdom of your own soul, and your Soulmate will be added unto you.'" That was my experience. I had finally given up and said, OK God. I am here only to be truly helpful. If that means I will be alone, so be it. I am here only to heal, to be healed and to love. I decided to stay in NE and shortly afterwards met and married my Soulmate!!

Scott wrote: "Music had always been a source of great joy for me, but it was beginning to show up as something I never knew it could be: a delivery system for guidance, healing and transformation."

That's what this book is. It's a delivery system for Guidance, Healing and Transformation. It gives us a wonderful glimpse into Scott's journey, which is our own, as he opens up his heart and lets himself be Guided. I'm blessed to have read it and now I'm blessed to be sharing it with you. As the sub-title says: It's "A True Story that touches hearts and Helps with the Laundry"!!
