All About Love by bell hooks Book Summary

A New York Times bestseller and enduring classic, All About Love is the acclaimed first volume in feminist icon bell hooks' "Love Song to the Nation" trilogy.  All About Love reveals what causes a polarized society, and how to heal the divisions that cause suffering. Here is the truth about love, and inspiration to help us instill caring, compassion, and strength in our homes, schools, and workplaces.

“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 All About Love. Here, at her most provocative and intensely personal, renowned scholar, cultural critic and feminist bell hooks offers a proactive new ethic for a society bereft 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. 

As bell hooks uses her incisive mind to explore the question “What is love?” her answers strike at both the mind and heart. Razing the cultural paradigm 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. The Utne Reader declared bell hooks one of the “100 Visionaries Who Can Change Your Life.” All About Love is a powerful, timely affirmation of just how profoundly her revelations can change hearts and minds for the better.

Life changing. bell hooks was truly a marvel and will be sorely missed. Her work has changed my life and gave me the true definition of love and what it means to use that word. I have been liberated ever since in knowing that lovelessness does not have to persist in my life and that I do have it.

Please read. This book will change your life

Great Book!. I absolutely loved this book! I am facing a heartbreak and this book was a breakthrough! I learned so much beyond the surface level of what I once known love to be. Thank you for this great book.

Love!. A transformative treaties on love and how to open your heart to the principles of service, courage and connection.

Amazing. Amazing breathtaking

Lessons learned. Hooks tells a lot of truths in her advisory of love. There is a lot to learn and to take into consideration in this book.

It’s a beautiful story of Love in every sense of the word. This book comes at a time when I needed it. At times intense so take breaks, but full of truth about love as it relates to relationships with family , friends and ourselves . Bell talks about how we hinder , desire, sabotage and long in love. Bell supports some of her theories with references from other authors . Great read !

Eye-opening. A perspective on love that I didn’t know before. It makes you really wonder what love is and the lack thereof in our lives. I choose love.

Touched my heart. Everyone should read this. Alot of wonderful points and very eye opening

More for female. The book had some interesting points and viewpoint about love, but overall mostly a book that should be read by woman. Not to say that men can’t learn something from reading this book

A wonderful guide. Will be immediately starting over. It's a grounding way to start the day remembering to lead with love.

At a time when I felt the most scorned. This book helped me start the path of my recovery from relationships in all phases and put the battery in my back to fix as many of them as I could while analyzing those which I couldn’t.

Heart warming and heart needed. For years this book has been on my “to read list” and finally I did. I’m so glad that I did. So much good stuff. I charge you to not only read this, but allow each page and word to read you as well. At least that is what this book did for me. It read me and comforted me. Pray and always ask the Lord for more understanding with each word you digest. Be well. Read well. Blessings Always

I dare you to explore LOVE!!!. To know love is to read this amazing piece of art!

To the comment of Manny Jordan. I would disagree in saying that it is a book more for women than for men. In fact I would argue that it is just as important if not even more important for men to hear. In order to heal our society from these cultural notions, this patriarchal view of love (things like toxic masculinity and that there are inherent “differences” between men and women in loving) needs to be addressed. This book is important for men because it encourages us to be open about emotions and the role of love in our lives, and it teaches us to be better partners, parents, friends, and advocates for those who are more oppressed in our society. I think more men should seek self help books like this, this is not just a discourse for women alone.

mostly amazing. the whole book is great except the last chapter which isn’t even worth reading

Musings on Love. A beautiful and powerful read.

all about love. I love this book. bell hooks was a wise woman. She makes many excellent points in this book that I plan to carry with me forever.

Love: Living On Valued Energy. This book changed my soul beyond measure, thank you.

Honestly fantastic. Renewed my faith in love

All About Love is truly ALL ABOUT LOVE. Absolutely amazing read. Never thought I’d dive into a book based on “love” but truly appreciative of this book.

Must read. Perfect for first gen immigrants

Fantastic. 10/10

Dissertation Feels. I heard so much rap about this book from so many people so I finally picked it up in March and it took me until May to finish it. I’m typically an avid reader and I realized what slowed me up is the moment I realized this book wasn’t a novel about love but moreso a dissertation or research paper. Bell Hooks references a lot of other sources regarding love topics. I was completely expecting a novel with characters, climax and close. Did I learn something? Of course… but I gave a 3 out of 5 because of all of the reference points and people. If it were a self help book I would have given the book an extra star.
