Hey everyone – a bit of a story. I'm someone who is recovering (and in recovery) from making a lot of mistakes in my life. With friends, family, partners, etc. The past two years I've been building myself back into a service oriented life and am needing books to read on things like compassion and empathy towards men, women, children, BIPOC folks, etc.
One of the books that I've found incredibly enlightening recently is Bell Hook's "All About Love", and I'll be checking into more of her work after I've finished. So anything that you all have ideas about would be greatly appreciated!
