The best and worst thing about this book was hooks commitment throughout the work to making powerful, decisive statements that wanted to leave little room open for argument When she was on, this authoritative voice felt like a revelation such as when she declares that abuse and love cannot coexist It s a beautiful, affirming, heartbreaking statement, that seems to have a large weight of truth behind it, at once the most and least obvious thing The definition of love that she borrows and endorses [...]
Well, so, OK Here s the thing This book changed is changing my life It came to me at just the right second by which I mean, I took it from the house where I was house sitting at just the right second , and I have taken it straight to heart hooks is in the business of life changing, really, whether she s teaching us how to love in the face of a planet of lovelessness, or teaching us to find, confront, and exorcise the racism and sexism by which we invariably live What got to me in All About Love [...]
i find it astonishing that so many people i otherwise respect admire got so into this book i would love to try an experiment where this book is re released under some nobody s name, rather than bell hooks, we can see how people respond to it when they aren t actually responding to the whole bell hooks association i have LOVED a lot of hooks s books this was a big pile of crap, not just that, it ushered in a whole generation of terrible crappy books written by bell hooks there has been a serious [...]
I could write almost every page of this book a five star review bell hooks, African American feminist author of the revelationary The Will to Change, creates another visionary work with All About Love She argues for the importance of love in our private and public lives in powerful and innovative ways At first the title of this book made me roll my eyes a little, in a oh yay, a book that s all about love, how cliche kinda way But from the very first page, hooks offers piercing insights into the [...]
While there were a couple of bits of this book I liked hence the two stars , on the whole, this is a thumbs down for me.Firstly, it was incredibly heterocentric While the book at times acknowledged gay people existed, that didn t change the tone throughout The only two gay people mentioned were a graffiti artist who did a work the author admired that was apparently commentary on the then current AIDS crisis, and a lesbian who on the author s advice maintained contact with her toxic, homophobic f [...]
My book club chose this book in honor of Valentine s Day It s the first and probably now only book I ve ever read by Bell Hooks, and I was excited to read it When I checked it out of the library along with a huge stack of other books, the librarian pulled it out and said, Oh, this book is SO good Which made me even excited to read it.If she had stopped after the first two chapters, I probably would have recommended it as a worthwhile essay to read I liked that she really took the time to find a [...]
bell hooks is one of the greatest theorists and cultural critics of our time Her writings on racism and sexism are sharp, incitful and practical, as in they include practical solutions for healing the violence that these systems of oppression create And she writes books that could be classified as self help This is one of them All About Love begins with a working definition of love, a willful act to facilitate the growth of oneself or another person, and continues to discuss what love is, what l [...]
In writing this review, I felt the need to pose the question What makes a feminist book Does it need to deal specifically with feminism, gender inequality, women, etc Does it simply need to avoid problematic stereotyping and other issues that contribute to the cultural perpetuation of systemic sexism Does it need to be written by a self avowed feminist or inspiring woman This book does a lot of those things, but most importantly, it is daring in its exposure of an issue that causes deep cultural [...]
I really wanted to like this book, because I like bell hooks, her ideas and what she stands for.But, my god I found myself having to scan page after page in a half read because I couldn t bare the self help dialogue that she was engaging in Further, I found myself absolutely cringing over the books she referenced, not to mention how many times she quoted The Road Less Traveled.Yes I felt like some kind of academic snob while reading it, each time I would roll my eyes and skip ahead.Yes I feel li [...]
On this, the fourth anniversary, and beginning of the fifth year of the Iraq war, while thousands marched on the Pentagon in protest, I finished reading all about love New Visions by bell hooks, a truly visionary and life changing read, which should be required reading for this entire nation I was initially skeptical of her thesis that society needs to adapt a universal definition of love, but as I continued reading, the idea struck a chord of recognition within me that I certainly hope will con [...]
Casually leafing through bell hooks s All About Love New Visions a few years ago in a bookstore, I was drawn by her idea that love should be regarded as a verb, not a noun Traditionally, our culture thinks of love as a thing, a passive feeling of tenderness or affection that comes over us, into which we fall involuntarily, something instinctual over which we have little control hooks argues, on the contrary, that love is a chosen action, something we must constantly affirm and on which we must c [...]
Though I gave this book three stars, it was a very important read for me I learned a lot from bell hooks about choosing love, about re vitalizing our dedication to honesty, accountability, and hope Growing up in a dysfunctional family and as a recovering codependent, I related very well to nearly 70% of the text s offerings and many of the author s own experiences, and I believe that I grew and developed as a person while completing this read I would recommend this text to everyone.I am unable t [...]
I have to say I had mixed feelings about this book I found it eye opening at times, but other times I simply couldn t connect with it at all, and couldn t quite move past some gender generalisations that the author so passionately claims herself to stand against It did make me think about the meaning of love and the context of love widely, yet I still can t agree with some of the principles on which this book is based and the idea that unless love follows certain rules e.g there is no fear in l [...]
Let s be honest, without Emma Watson and her Our Shared Shelf book club I never would have read this book It s just not what I like or enjoy reading I had to force myself to keep reading, and tbh I don t even know what I was reading I feel bad for giving only 1 star though since I m sure there are people who like books like this one, but I just couldn t enjoy it
One to read over and over again, to truly dive into the meanings and to truly understand it because it is one hard to understand, definitely will go back to it in the future.
What did I just read hooks is an incredible person and an incredible writer, but I think the hooks I used to know, and the hooks I want to know now are two very different people That s okay, because I am in support of people growing and changing and becoming, whatever, their most authentic selves But I was surprised by this book.I would say the first half or really did work for me hooks writes here about LOVE, the power of LOVE, the way LOVE is viewed in our western culture, the problems some p [...]
I really thoroughly enjoyed the book One of few aspects that I didn t like about the book was that it had a strong anti atheistic vibe to it I have no problem if she wishes to discuss spirituality and love, there s no problem at all, but when a religious, theistic faith is presented as something essential to be loving, caring, and so on, the insinuation that an atheist could not be as loving as a theist is certainly a very antagonizing sentiment that I can t even fathom She of course, continues [...]
CHAPTER ONEClarity Give Love Words When we understand love as the will to nurture our own and another s spiritual growth, it becomes clear that we cannot claim to love if we are hurtful and abusive, p6 To begin by always thinking of love as an action rather than a feeling is one way in which anyone using the word in this manner automatically assumes accountability and responsibility, p13 APTER TWOJustice Childhood Love Lessons Loving parents work hard to discipline without punishment This does n [...]
This is the first book I ve read by bell hooks, and I was so excited to read it Unfortunately, it fell a bit short of my expectations There were definitely some parts where I was able to follow her, mainly in the beginning But closer to the middle and end it sounded like too much of a self help book even though she criticized that entire genre for adhering to traditional gender norms and became a bit too fluffy I think she made a LOT of general observations especially regarding how men and women [...]
I loved most of it, with the exception of her claim that one can t truly love others if one doesn t love themselves Other than that, it made me work on being honest.
This book was not for me.I admit to not being a big fan of self help books I m sure that they can be a great help to people, but I ve given them a few tries and ended up annoyed each time Sadly, All About Love is no exception The preface and first two chapters were promising I especially liked the bits about abuse and love being unable to co exist, as well as hooks thoughts on how toxic masculinity influences relationships The repeated claim that love is an action, not just a feeling, really res [...]
This is a methodical, radical, and unflinching treatment of love a topic we mostly regard as mysterious and ineffable Hooks breaks things down rather deliberately Her insistence on finding a good definition of love in the beginning of the book is the clarifying stroke of genius that makes all the aspects she later explores make sense She rightly points out that many writers refusal to come up with a definition for love makes so much of the discourse around it contradictory and confusing.The defi [...]
I feel bad giving this book two stars because I can still appreciate and respect the insight in this book, but I ultimately found there was that I disagreed with than agreed with Conclusions are made about the importance of love that are often true, but the arguments are biased by the author s experiences I agree there is a real need to continue discussing love openly and I hope that this novel imspires others to reflect Perhaps in the future a book on the nature of love will exist that I enjoy [...]
The book started with a promise but left me unsatisfied towards the end I am not a fan of self help books and this book can be classified somewhere between social criticism and self help Nevertheless, despite its over positive tone I found these great tips on the art of loving and living Do not confuse cathecting with loving Love and abuse cannot coexist Genuine love a combination of care, commitment, trust, knowledge, responsibility and respect Care is a dimension of love, but simply giving car [...]
I was really looking forward to reading bell hooks, but this particular book was very disappointing I honestly didn t see much in its pages that could count as new Ultimately, it felt very lazy, disorganized, and fairly conventional It takes plenty of time to lament nowadays, apparently the first time period ever characterized by greed and self interest, and thus she seems to hold up prior American eras as golden Hooks also gives great weight to the Christian tradition and lots of space to bibli [...]
This is a great book This is a flawed book It deserves a better review than I can write now, but I highly recommend anyone and everyone read this book bell hooks dares to challenge our notions of love, and to talk about love in a way that most are, for whatever reason, embarrassed or uncomfortable with Each chapter views love through a differnt lens, all backed by a well thought out and well argued definition for love that should disturb most everyone.hooks writes from the POV of an abuse surviv [...]
I ve been trying to get through this book for weeks and I finally gave up today For me, this book is simply unreadable It s a collage of quotes from self help books which she doesn t cite in any formal way, nor is there an index with broad, oversimplified statements about complicated cultural issues She aims to be convincing but her rhetorical strategy is extremely weak For example, she writes that Nicole Simpson kept herself and her children in a dangerous, life threatening environment in part [...]
MAYBE closer to 2.5 stars instead of 3 but oh well I did enjoy this book but it wasn t exactly great It was well written and there were some really interesting observations made about love which I enjoyed The entire book is centred on the question of what is love baby don t hurt meee and is very interesting I found it frustrating that it was quite repetitive The same points were made in numerous chapters with different titles The only chapter I actually disliked was the final one which felt kind [...]
Thought I d never finish this book It started alright, with the introduction and hooks telling about her life, but after that it was just getting harder and harder to read Of course hooks talks about concerns I totally agree with, and I enjoyed reading the chapter about Greed I felt like reading a self help book, and I m not a big fan of those hooks also sometimes throws statements around and leaves no place for arguing Like saying we have to be totally honest to our partner and the world, no ro [...]
This book was difficult It made you take stock of what you do when you say you love someone It made you see how you must let go of fear to love well and how the seat of that fear may be tied up in trauma that is unresolved It makes you reflect and that reflecting is hard work bust so necessary This book is necessary However there were parts that feel flat, but the parts that feel flat weren t the parts I needed to read Anyone who reads will definitely be impacted by this book and it makes the le [...]
