About this ebook

The landmark bestseller that changed the way we think about love: "Every line is packed with common sense, compassion, and realism" ( Fortune ).

The Art of Loving is a rich and detailed guide to love—an achievement reached through maturity, practice, concentration, and courage. In the decades since the book's release, its words and lessons continue to resonate. Erich Fromm, a celebrated psychoanalyst and social psychologist, clearly and sincerely encourages the development of our capacity for and understanding of love in all of its facets. He discusses the familiar yet misunderstood romantic love, the all-encompassing brotherly love, spiritual love, and many more.

A challenge to traditional Western notions of love, The Art of Loving is a modern classic about taking care of ourselves through relationships with others by the New York Times–bestselling author of To Have or To Be? and Escape from Freedom.

This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erich Fromm including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author's estate.

The book does a good job in detailing every bit of the author's thoughts on the subjects.... Though sometimes too good a job. At times I discovered the examples given to explain a point more clearly would, at times, end in a lengthy tangent away from the original point trying to be made. This made cause for difficulty in following the narration. To its credit though, many thought provoking ideas were provided (and these also came from the tangent explanations too) and in the end I felt content with my read.

As a bisexual Feminist, some of the dated views in here made absorbing the wisdom challenging. But overall, a decent read with some valuable points

About the author

Erich Fromm (1900–1980) was a bestselling psychoanalyst and social philosopher whose views about alienation, love, and sanity in society—discussed in his books such as Escape from Freedom, The Art of Loving, The Sane Society,and To Have or To Be?—helped shape the landscape of psychology in the mid-twentieth century. Fromm was born in Frankfurt, Germany, to Jewish parents, and studied at the universities of Frankfurt, Heidelberg (where in 1922 he earned his doctorate in sociology), and Munich. In the 1930s he was one of the most influential figures at the Frankfurt Institute of Social Research. In 1934, as the Nazis rose to power, he moved to the United States. He practiced psychoanalysis in both New York and Mexico City before moving to Switzerland in 1974, where he continued his work until his death.
