The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love Free Audiobook Download by Bell Hooks


Bell Hooks's book is a powerful philosophical and social critique of what she describes as 'the will to change.' Hooks argues that society, especially Western society, has historically expected men to be autonomous, self-starting individuals who are able to change themselves and the world around them. She addresses the limitations of this expectation in order to propose that men need new conceptions of male subjectivity and masculinity outside the traditional narrative of change.

'Janina Edwards' has a beautiful voice and does an excellent job of narrating Bell Hooks' The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love. This audiobook is a perfect choice for anyone who wants to hear about how to love yourself and others better. Hooks discusses the false idea that masculinity is all about domination over others, focusing on relationships and violence in society.

"The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love" is a book that looks at the expectations of men. It examines how our society's idea of what it means to be a man is shifting as more people express their needs and desire for different things outside of male-driven society.

Hooks discusses how men are pressured to fit in with the mainstream identity of what it means for men to "be a man," and how that pressure causes men to feel inadequate and ashamed when they fail. The Will to Change is an important audiobook that discusses masculinity from a feminist standpoint.

Bell Hooks' Will to Change is not just a book about male masculinity, but also about love.

The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love is a short but powerful book that speaks to the willfulness of all people. The audiobook is narrated by an 'African-American woman who embodies the power and wisdom that each of us has.
