All about love: New perspectives

"Everything About Love" offers radical new ways of thinking about love by showing its interconnectedness in our private and public lives. In eleven concise chapters, hooks explains how our everyday notions of what it means to give and receive love often fail us, and how these ideals are established in early childhood. She offers a rethinking of self-love (without narcissism) that brings peace and compassion to our personal and professional lives, and advocates for the importance of love in ending struggles between individuals, communities, and societies. Moving from the cultural to the intimate, hooks explains the relationship between love and loss and challenges the prevailing notion that romantic love is the most important love of all. Additionally, hooks denounces the cultural paradigm that ideal love is steeped in sex and desire, and proposes a new path towards a love that is more whole, compassionate, and free of shame.

For those unfamiliar with bell hooks' work, "Everything About Love" is an essential audiobook that will change the way we think about love, culture, and society.
