I’ve been seeing everyone rave about this book by bell hooks!!! All About Love offers radical new ways to think about love by showing its interconnectedness in our private and public lives. This book challenges readers and make many of us uncomfortable. hooks interrogates normalized mediums of love in our society - romantic love, the nuclear family, etc. - and shows how these default systems can lead to problems. She touches on such an important and thought-provoking set of topics, including: how the media almost never portrays healthy, communicative relationships, how capitalism and patriarchy ruin love by pressuring women to provide emotional labor while men do not, and how we take friendships for granted because of romance . Throughout all of this, she illuminates a path toward a more loving relationship with yourself and others, so we can all work toward a more loving society. Are you guys reading anything at the moment? ❤️❤️❤️
