Juan Mann has a very touching story to tell…literally. The man offers free hugs to the world at large by holding up a sign that says (quite appropriately) “Free Hugs.” Based in Sydney, Australia, this one-man lovefest is literally sweeping the world after a touching YouTube video quickly reached millions.

Interestingly, Sydney officials attempted to stop his hugging habit but to no avail. A petition was signed by over 10,000 people and Juan Mann (”One Man”) was up and hugging again in no time flat.

No one can stop the power of human touch.

Who can you touch today?

How can you break down your predictable physical barriers?

Take a look at this very moving video to see just how powerful touch can be:
