How All About Love: New Visions by Bell Hooks Predicts Today's Social Issues


Listen Later

This is the book that will shatter everything you thought you knew about love. The moment when a 160-page book from 1999 becomes your roadmap for understanding why dating feels impossible and society feels broken in 2025. In this soul-stirring episode, I break down bell hooks' prophetic "All About Love" and show you how her warnings became our reality.

We're covering all the good stuff:

  • Why hooks predicted today's dating app hellscape with terrifying accuracy
  • The real definition of love (spoiler: it's not just feelings)
  • How patriarchy created the toxic dynamic where women give love and men take it
  • Why the loneliness epidemic is actually a "lovelessness epidemic"
  • What "soul murder" means and how it explains online cruelty
  • Why "focus only on yourself" wellness culture is missing the point
  • And how community healing trumps individual healing every single time

This isn't just a book review. This is a mirror for everything broken in our society and a blueprint for healing it. hooks was observing in the 90s what we're living through now – the cynicism, the fear of emotional investment, the epidemic of people seeking intimacy without risk.

Reading this book healed something in me, and I know it will for you too.
