Todo sobre el amor

All About Love offers radical new ways of thinking 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. He offers a rethinking of self-love (without narcissism) that brings peace and compassion to our personal and professional lives, and advocates the importance of love to end struggles between individuals, communities, and societies. Moving from the cultural to the intimate, hooks explains the relationship between love and loss and challenges the prevailing notion that romantic love is the most important love of all. In addition, hooks denounces the cultural paradigm that ideal love is impregnated with sex and desire and proposes a new path towards a fuller, more compassionate, and shame-free love.
