Summary
“An insightful memoir that uncovers unique stories about matters of the heart.” —Essence

The inspiring New York Times bestseller from Common—the Grammy Award, Academy Award, and Golden Globe–winning musician, actor, and activist—explores 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 us understand what it means to receive and, most importantly, 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.

In his first public reveal, Common also shares a deeply personal experience of childhood molestation that he is now confronting…and forgiving.

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.

All too often we neglect to self-examine ourselves. Thanks for sharing your splendid journey with us, Common.

Really really liked this book!! Common has a beautiful Outlook on life and being a big fan of his music, his book does not disappoint either. I wish it was longer, despite that he is such a peaceful individual with well rounded knowledge on life. If you're looking for more of a positive perspective....go ahead and get yourself this book. You will love it!!!

I loved hrard Common's perspective on love. His journey to love himself and how in doing so he found the ability to love God deeper, his daughter deeper was insightful. His takeaways on being present, putting in the effort, being bigger than self is an encouragement to those reading. They were moments where it seemed he was being self centered. But Common take all that credit after the work you've put in to be vulnerable, seek therapy, and developed yourself as a man, a black man!
