All About Love: New Visions by bell hooks

informative reflective slow-paced

3.0

Some parts of this book were great, others I was left disappointed. In the beginning I felt like I was really going to learn something but as the book progressed this felt more like a collection of essays all on a similar topic with not much direction.  Perhaps some of this is just too outdated at this point. I didn’t appreciate the spiritual/religious tie ins and wasn’t expecting that when I picked this book up. At many points I was left wondering how any person could practice love the way she suggested!! And perhaps we would all be happier if we accepted that love is not this rigid pre defined thing that can only exist in one way. Overall I liked some chapters and hated others.
