All About Love: New Visions

I was raised by the 2 strongest women I know, my mom and my grandma. They will forever have more integrity, passion and power of will than many people I know. I bought the book in search for answers about why its been hard for me to love after my first relationship left me broken in pieces. This book had some amazing parts like when it said that we should use love as a verb rather than a noun. Also how love is a choice. However I do not appreciate the men-bashing nature of this book, not specifically because I am a man but rather because I want equality among all. To say "The very concept of “being a man” and a “real man” has always implied that when necessary men can take action that breaks the rules, that is above the law." it is a wrong generalization. Throughout my life when someone tells me "Be a man" or "Man up" it has nothing to do with breaking rules and all about feelings. This is just one example of many where generalizations of men behaviors are made. I can think of occasions where the arguments are true about some men but to make generalizations about any gender is just asking for that which we are fighting against, sexist behavior. Overall I believe this book can definitely help people and it has some great ideas which I will continue to use in my life. If this would be rewritten without all the generalizations about a specific sex I would have appreciated it more and give it at least 4 starts.

reading felt like a great thought-provoking conversation about love. I definitely took notes!

I didnt want to read a book to tell me how to love. But my bf asked me to. It is a life changer. This book really opened my eyes about my relationship with my bf. I would recommend anyone that has different thoughts about if there partner or yourself is in love then read this book.
