This book explores themes of loss and grief, as a girl puts her heart away in a safe place after experiencing sadness. As she encounters more emptiness in her life, she wonders how and when she can retrieve it. A poignant tale that will tug at your heartstrings.

@austinkleon Oliver Jeffers’ The Heart and the Bottle. It’s a children’s book, also for adults. It’s beautiful and deep and sutil.      source

All About Love
New Visions
Bell Hooks - 1999-12-22
Goodreads Rating
This book by bell hooks, a renowned cultural critic and feminist, examines our societal view of love as romance and offers a proactive ethic for a loveless society. With razor-sharp prose, hooks delves into her own search for emotional connection and offers a new path to love that is sacred, redemptive, and healing for individuals and society as a whole. All About Love is a powerful affirmation of hooks' status as a visionary who can change your life.

@the_jennitaur @jessicahelfand @jiatolentino 8. All about love by Bell Hooks. Essay. The first book I read this year, after a recommendation of an already then ex. Heartbreaking, but good for those open to the challenge. A book about psychology, self-respect, feminism, and care.      source

Discover a new way to connect with the environment and ourselves in this thrilling critique of productivity and technology. Dive into an action plan to resist capitalism's hold on our attention and find meaning in the process. This book sheds light on what we've been too distracted to see in ourselves and the world around us.

Favorite books read in 2019 🧵 1. How to do nothing by @the_jennitaur. Essay, beautifully written. Not a book about working less, but about understanding why we do, our relationship with technology, choosing how/what to attend to, and the politics of all of that. Also, birds.      source
