The Art of Loving

By: Erich Fromm

Narrated by: Nathan McMillan

The renowned psychoanalyst and social philosopher Erich Fromm has helped millions of men and women achieve rich, productive lives by developing their hidden capacities for love. In this astonishingly frank and candid book, he explores the ways in which this extraordinary emotion can alter the whole course of your life.

Most of us are unable to develop our capacities for love on the only level that really counts — a love that is compounded of maturity, self-knowledge, and courage. Learning to love, like other arts, demands practice and concentration. Even more than any other art, it demands genuine insight and understanding.

In this classic work, Fromm explores love in all its aspects - not only romantic love, steeped in false conceptions and lofty expectations, but also love of parents, children, brotherly love, erotic love, self-love, and the love of God.

The horrible and emotionless reading.

So hard to listen to, there where no expression, it was like hearing a robot. I know it’s not fiction, but you need expressions to listen.

Phenomenal

Fresh take on the meaning of love and how to love. I'm a rational person and thus could relate very well with Fromm's views.

Very real and informative

A great read. There is so much real life wisdom in this book, so much to ponder about it.

GREAT TOPIC, GREAT BOOK

Might it looks like a ver romantic topic, the art of love goes further than romanticism. This book, this piece of jewel, makes a remarkable argument on what love is from different perspectives.

Hidden Menu of Love

Fromm puts a whole new perspective to the concept of love. Totally recommended if you want to have another level of understanding of our relationships as a society
