Book Overview
Common--the Grammy Award, Academy Award, and Golden Globe-winning musician, actor, and activist--follows up his New York Times bestselling memoir One Day It'll All Make Sense with this inspiring exploration of how love and mindfulness can build communities and allow you to take better control of your life through actions and words. Common believes that the phrase "let love have the last word" is not just a declaration; it is a statement of purpose, a daily promise. Love is the most powerful force on the planet and ultimately, the way you love determines who you are and how you experience life. Touching on God, self-love, partners, children, family, and community, Common explores the core tenets of love to help others understand what it means to receive and, most important, to give love. He moves from the personal--writing about his daughter, to whom he wants to be a better father--to the universal, where he observes that our society has become fractured under issues of race and politics. He knows there's no quick remedy for all of the hurt in the world, but love--for yourself and for others--is where the healing begins. Courageous, insightful, brave, and characteristically authentic, Let Love Have the Last Word shares Common's own unique and personal stories of the people and experiences that have led to a greater understanding of love and all it has to offer. It is a powerful call to action for a new generation of open hearts and minds, one that is sure to resonate for years to come.

Love Is Leading The Way And Having The Last Word In This Book!
Published by Trully , 4 years ago
I like the way Common was transparent in this book. It was a bit shocking to see so much vulnerability laid out from the beginning. There wasn't anything that I disliked about it. How could you dislike someone's raw emotions? The characters are real, the feelings real, and the way things were dealt with was very conscious and loving.
This book was a form of therapy, love therapy for the soul. I really can't compare this book or author to anyone else. It stands out as a very good book portraying love in it's raw essence. Common's inner work shines through in this book.
Hope we all can have more "common sense" like this with Love leading the way and having the last word.
