Ibiza Bohemia | Maya Boyd
"Arriving in Ibiza the first time was such a beautiful experience. To find the untouched hills and traditions of old Spain that still existed in San Juan was just magical; I stayed for eighteen years."- Jade HaggerFrom roaring nightlife to peaceful yoga retreats, Ibiza is a quintessential Mediterranean hot spot. Since the 1930s, it has been a magical escape: first for artists and intellectuals fleeing oppression, including Walter Benjamin and Man Ray; then for Errol Flynn, Elizabeth Taylor, Laurence Olivier, and other Hollywood stars seeking privacy in postwar Europe; for hippies during the Summer of Love; later, for rock legends including Pink Floyd, Freddie Mercury, Joni Mitchell, and David Bowie; and more recently for style-setters such as Kate Moss and Jade Jagger. These and many more creative minds have enjoyed all the island has to offer, allowing the setting to inspire films, music, poetry, prose, and artwork like no other. Ibiza's hippiechic atmosphere appeals to a wide audienc…

She saw what other moms had-vacations, birthday parties, a house full of furniture-and felt ashamed that she and her son lived in a small apartment and ate dinner on the floor. Worse, when her feelings began to exhaust her, she binge-shopped, reasoning that she'd feel better after a trip to the mall. On the day she needed to pay for a McDonald's ice cream cone without her credit card, she had an epiphany: Money is not the problem. Self-Doubt is the problem. Shame is the problem.

More about All About Love: New Visions | bell hooks

Product description

"The word "love" is most often defined as a noun, yet...we would all love better if we used it as a verb," writes bell hooks as she comes out fighting and on fire in All About Love. Here, at her most provocative and intensely personal, the renowned scholar, cultural critic, and feminist skewers our view of love as romance. In its place she offers a proactive new ethic for a people and a society bereft with lovelessness. As bell hooks uses her incisive mind and razor-sharp pen to explore the question "What is love?" her answers strike at both the mind and heart. In thirteen concise chapters, hooks examines her own search for emotional connection and society's failure to provide a model for learning to love. Razing the cultural paradigm that the ideal love is infused with sex and desire, she provides a new path to love that is sacred, redemptive, and healing for the individuals and for a nation. The Utne Reader declared bell hooks one of the "100 Visionaries Who Can Change Your Life." All About Love is a powerful affirmation of just how profoundly she can.
