All About Love: New Visions by bell hooks

4.0

challenging emotional informative medium-paced

---

This collection of essays on love was insightful, thought-provoking and so well written, packed with colorful anecdotes, stories and examples as well as careful research. I highly recommend it for anyone willing to evaluate how they thing about relationships—those with out partners, with our families, with our communities and most importantly with ourselves. Some chapters didn't move me quite as well as others. Specifically, those in which Hooks ruminates on spirituality, but that's more about me and my own relationship to the divine than about Hooks, who is as open and vulnerable and resonant as any writer could hope to be about a subject.
