Here is the truth about love, and inspiration to help us instill caring, compassion, and strength in our homes, schools, and workplaces.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“The word ‘love’ is most often defined as a noun, yet we would all love better if we used it as a verb,” writes bell hooks as she comes out fighting and on fire in \u003cem\u003eAll About Love\u003c\/em\u003e. Provocative and intensely personal, renowned scholar, cultural critic and feminist bell hooks offers a proactive new ethic for a society stricken with lovelessness—not the lack of romance, but the lack of care, compassion, and unity. People are divided, she declares, by society’s failure to provide a model for learning to love. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this landmark book, bell hooks explores the question “What is love?” Her answers strike at both the mind and heart. Disputing that the ideal love is infused with sex and desire, she provides a new path to love that is sacred, redemptive, and healing for individuals and for a nation. \u003cem\u003eAll About Love \u003c\/em\u003eis a powerful, timely affirmation of just how profoundly love and community can change hearts and minds for the better. \u003c\/p\u003e | \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAll About Love\u003c\/em\u003e offers radical new ways to think 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 will bring peace and compassion to our personal and professional lives, and asserts the place of love to end struggles between individuals, in communities, and among societies. Moving from the cultural to the intimate, hooks notes the ties between love and loss and challenges the prevailing notion that romantic love is the most important love of all. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVisionary and original, hooks shows how love heals the wounds we bear as individuals and as a nation, for it is the cornerstone of compassion and forgiveness and holds the power to overcome shame. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor readers who have found ongoing delight and wisdom in bell hooks's life and work, and for those who are just now discovering her, \u003cem\u003eAll About Love\u003c\/em\u003e is essential reading and a brilliant book that will change how we think about love, our culture-and one another. \u003c\/p\u003e | \u003cp\u003e“Each offering from bell hooks is a major event, as she has so much to give us.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMaya Angelou\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Like love, this book is worth the commitment.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eToronto Sun\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“She provides a refreshing spiritual treatise that steps outside the confines of the intellect and into the wilds of the heart.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSeattle Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William Morrow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44889234243813,"sku":"NP9780688168445","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/all-about-love-new-visions-isbn-9780688168445","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
