About this listen
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 Art of Rambling
Fromm what planet are you from? Fromm is clearly a very intelligent man. There are 1 or 2 interesting ideas. But he changes the subject so frequently it’s hard to follow. It’s a very scattered book with lots of quotes (Freud groupie) and information. He is overtly wrong in his interpretations of God..which is a key theme of his.
The reading sounds like I am stuck in a court room and want to sneak off to the bathroom to have a needed break from his monotone voice (sorry mate). You’d be good on Law & Order.
The last chapter was good, he should of led with that. He talks about love as a discipline. His view of God and faith were shallow though, a whole bunch of ideas and thoughts with no substance. As he’s described as a ‘nontheistic mystic’ with a Jewish background he missed out the biggest love ever; displayed in the person and work of Christ Jesus. Who, being God Himself, is regrettably not mentioned.
Read the Gospel of John.
