What is the transformative potential of love and how can we develop our capacity for love? In this new book, Bianca Briciu, assistant professor of the Providence School of Transformative Leadership and Spirituality, invites us to explore the revolutionary art of love. The book launch event will feature a conversation with author Bianca Briciu about the main themes of the new book that deconstructs cultural myths about love and shows its potential. The conscious, intentional commitment to the practice of love leads to interconnectedness, wholeness and a life lived from the heart.

Synopsis of the book:

The Revolutionary Art of Love: From Romantic Love to Global Compassion offers a complex description of love as a personal emotion and as an intersubjective, ethical experience of connection. Its purpose is to deconstruct cultural myths about love, proposing instead a framework for understanding love’s contribution to the well-being of individuals and social systems. The uniqueness of the book lies in its interdisciplinary scope, articulating love as a form of connection to the self, others, and the world in general. It examines its role in mental health, sexuality, emotional intelligence and social responsibility. Bianca Briciu’s bold new book is an invitation to reclaim the power of the human heart from institutional constraints by redefining love as a complex human capability, similar to intelligence or creativity. The cultivation of love opens us to the ethics of interconnectedness and responsibility of caring for life. Framing love as a revolutionary art articulates the subtleties of different experiences of love as expressions of an insufficiently explored human capability with transformative potential.
