The Risk of Truth to Being Loved
Q1 2026 Reading Guide
What does it cost to tell the truth about who you are? Can intimacy survive that honesty or does it require it?
This reading guide pairs Michel Foucault's exploration of truth-telling as a moral practice with bell hooks' call for emotional vulnerability in love. Together, they surface a difficult question: whether being truly known is a prerequisite for being loved, or a threat to it.
The guide doesn't resolve the tension. It creates space to sit with it.
What's included:
Printed perfect-bound reading guide including analysis, reflection, questions for contemplation, additional reading recommendations, and a playlist
Ships mid-February 2026. Shipping included.
