Even males need to experience love and being loved. However, for men to understand love, they must be able to examine the ways in which patriarchal society prevents them from understanding who they are, from experiencing what they are feeling, and from loving.
Bell Hooks tackles the core of the issue in The Will to Change, teaching men how to communicate the feelings that are an integral part of their identity, regardless of their age, marital status, race, or sexual orientation. However, toxic masculinity penalizes these basic feelings, and since it is so embedded in our culture, it is difficult for men to defy it. Hooks hopes to help alter that.
Hooks tackles the most prevalent male worries, such loss of their patriarchal status in society and fear of intimacy, in novel and thought-provoking ways, all while displaying her typical honesty and sharp brilliance. She thinks that by reconnecting with their emotionally open selves, men might discover the path to spiritual oneness and claim the fulfilling, rich inner lives that have traditionally been reserved for women. The Will to Change is a fearless and astounding book that aims to assist men in discovering their greatest selves again.
