In this paper, I will discuss how community (extended family, friendships, etc.) is just as important as the “couple” themselves or nuclear families because love only comes from painful truth-telling desire may depend on illusion, but outside sources have a perspective other than just the thrill of attraction love involves work and dedication, but going to work and making money have replaced the core values of love and community (a concept, says Hook, that should be reversed). In Hook’s book, men have a tendency towards sexist gender roles and “patriarchal thinking.” Her goal is to instrument social change through her viewpoint on love. Love can also have tremendous social effects as it is “crucial to our survival as a nation”. She tries to convince her audience how to return to the true meaning of love in order to live in a culture where love can flourish. As a feminist cultural critic, Bell Hooks affirms that love is possible within American society despite today’s culture of narcissism and selfishness. Written in a didactic style, “All About Love” merges self-help with moral philosophy.
