All About Love demonstrates how love is interwoven in both our personal and professional life, offering profoundly novel perspectives on the subject. Hooks describes in eleven succinct chapters how early life shapes our daily ideas about what it means to give and receive love, and how these ideas often prove to be false. She stresses the role of love in putting a stop to conflicts amongst people, in communities, and throughout societies, and she gives a rethinking of self-love (without narcissism) that will bring peace and compassion to our personal and professional life. Shifting from the societal to the personal, hooks examines the connections between love and grief and questions the widely held belief that romantic love is the most significant kind of love.
Pioneering and inventive, hooks demonstrates how love, which is the foundation of forgiveness and compassion and has the capacity to triumph over shame, may mend the scars we suffer as a people and as a country.
All About Love is a magnificent book that will alter the way we think about love, our society, and each other. It is required reading for readers who have found continuous joy and insight in bell hooks's life and work as well as for those who are only now becoming acquainted with her.
