All about love book review: new version by bell hook

People have been saying "love" all their lives, but there are many people who have never really felt the word love, no matter how deep they try to dig in their hearts, so let's try to find it together in all about love, a book that takes us slowly to dive into the heart of love by bell hook ❤️.

At one point in my life, I used to be indistinguishable about what is love, what is bonding, and what is just the fear of losing someone, and many times I tried to ask for the meaning of love for a while, because everyone always said, "Love is up to people to define."

Which is true, because in all about love, Hookes herself defines her own kind of love as being an act, not just a feeling, but something expressed through care, forgiveness, and self-love, and in the meantime I understand that sometimes we call a lot of unlove love, and in fact we may not even know what love is.

In fact, this book may not answer the question I was wondering, but it allows me to stop looking at something and spend more time understanding it. The definition of love may be difficult to find, but it's not impossible. And if you're wondering, let's read this book once and come back and answer this question: What exactly are we talking about "love"?

... Read moreหลายครั้งที่เรารู้สึกสับสนระหว่างความรักกับความกลัว หรือความผูกพันที่ไม่ได้เกิดจากความรักแท้จริง หนังสือ All About Love ช่วยเปิดมุมมองใหม่ให้ฉันได้ตระหนักว่าความรักนั้นคือการกระทำและการเลือกที่จะรัก ไม่ใช่แค่ความรู้สึกชั่วคราวหรือคำพูดหวาน ๆ เท่านั้น ในชีวิตจริง ฉันพบว่าการเรียนรู้ที่จะรักตัวเองก่อนเป็นสิ่งสำคัญมาก เพราะหากเราไม่รักตัวเองอย่างแท้จริง เราก็ยากที่จะรักผู้อื่นอย่างบริสุทธิ์ใจ หนังสือเล่มนี้ได้อธิบายว่าความรักเป็นพลังที่สามารถเยียวยาบาดแผลภายในใจ และทำลายความกลัวที่ติดอยู่กับเรา นั่นทำให้ฉันได้เห็นว่า เมื่อเราเปิดใจยอมรับและให้ความรักอย่างไม่มีเงื่อนไข เราจะมีความสุขและมีความสัมพันธ์ที่ดีขึ้น อีกประเด็นที่น่าสนใจ คือความรักไม่ได้หมายถึงความสมบูรณ์แบบเสมอไป แต่คือการที่เรากล้ายอมรับความไม่สมบูรณ์ของตัวเองและผู้อื่น รวมถึงความกล้าที่จะให้อภัย สิ่งนี้ช่วยสร้างความเข้าใจและความเห็นอกเห็นใจที่ลึกซึ้งมากขึ้น หนังสือเล่มนี้เหมาะกับคนที่กำลังตั้งคำถามและค้นหาความหมายของความรักในแบบของตนเอง โดยเฉพาะคนที่ผ่านประสบการณ์ความรักที่ไม่สมหวังหรือรู้สึกรักแต่ไม่เข้าใจ รักในที่นี้ไม่ใช่แค่ความโรแมนติก แต่รวมถึงความรักแบบครอบครัว ความรักแบบมิตรภาพ และที่สำคัญคือความรักต่อตัวเอง สุดท้าย ฉันอยากชวนทุกคนมาลองเปิดใจอ่านหนังสือเล่มนี้ไปด้วยกัน เพื่อเข้าใจหัวใจของความรักอย่างลึกซึ้งและใช้ความรักนั้นเปลี่ยนแปลงชีวิตให้ดียิ่งขึ้น เพราะความรักที่แท้จริงนั้นมีพลังที่จะปลดปล่อยและเยียวยาได้จริง ๆ
