The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love

Everyone needs to love and be loved — even men. But to know love, men must examine the ways that patriarchal culture keeps them from understanding themselves, being in touch with their feelings, and loving. In "The Will to Change," bell hooks addresses the heart of the matter and shows men how to express the emotions that are a fundamental part of who they are, regardless of their age, marital status, ethnicity, or sexual orientation.

With trademark candor and fierce intelligence, hooks tackles the most common concerns of men, such as fear of intimacy and the loss of their patriarchal place in society, in new and challenging ways. She believes men can find a path to spiritual unity by reconnecting with the emotionally open part of themselves and embracing the rich and rewarding inner lives that have historically been seen as exclusive to women. A brave and astonishing work, "The Will to Change" is designed to help men reclaim the best part of themselves.
