{"product_id":"9780743480338","title":"The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love","description":"With the courage, honesty, and compassion that have made her one of America's most provocative authorities on modern culture, bell hooks takes on the interior lives of men and answers their most intimate questions about love. \u003cbr\u003e Everyone needs to love and be loved -- even men. In this groundbreaking book, bell hooks gets to the heart of the matter and shows men how to express the emotions that are a fundamental part of who they are -- whatever their age, ethnicity, or cultural persuasion. \u003cbr\u003e Written in response to the author's in-depth discussions with men who were inspired by her trilogy, \u003ci\u003eAll About Love, Salvation,\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCommunion,\u003c\/i\u003e bell hooks's \u003ci\u003eThe Will to Change\u003c\/i\u003e addresses maleness and masculinity in new and challenging ways. With trademark candor and fierce intelligence, hooks answers the most common concerns of men, such as fear of intimacy and loss of their patriarchal place in society. She believes men can find the way to spiritual unity by getting back in touch with the emotionally open part of themselves. Only through this liberation will they lay claim to the rich and rewarding inner lives that have historically been the exclusive province of women. Men can access these feelings by giving themselves permission to be vulnerable. As they grow more comfortable and start believing that it's okay to feel, to need, and to desire, they will thrive as equal partners in their intimate relationships. \u003cbr\u003e Whether they are straight or gay, black or white, \u003ci\u003eThe Will to Change\u003c\/i\u003e helps men to reclaim the best part of themselves.","brand":"Atria Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47127054582000,"sku":"9780743480338","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780743480338_p0.jpg?v=1769900918","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780743480338","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
