ART OF LOVING: Classics of Personal Development

First published in 1957 and reprinted many times since, the book has become a classic, inspiring thousands of people. Erich Fromm, the renowned psychoanalyst, sees love as the ultimate need and desire of all human beings. In his book he dissects every aspect of his subject - romantic love, the love of parents for children, brotherly love, erotic love, self-love and the love of God or the divine. He looks at the theory of love as it appears throughout the cultures of the world and at its practice, how we show or fail to show love to one another. Love is an art which we need to develop and practice in order to find true commitment. We need to find it individually and as a society as a whole. A little dated in parts, Erich Fromm died in 1980, but thankfully this classic is now read and understood because after all love is a bi-product of being alive. 104 page paperback.
