All about Love: the Deluxe Collector's Edition New Visions

What it is about

bell hooks argues that love is not merely a feeling or romantic event but a practice composed of care, commitment, knowledge, responsibility, respect, and trust. Moving through family, patriarchy, spirituality, honesty, grief, and community, she asks why a culture saturated with the language of love often avoids its disciplines. I need this book close whenever I start thinking the question has become simple.

Why I keep it

bell hooks on love as a practice. The definition I use.
