A fascinating tome I've read and re-read and highlighted and read some more. Sparked my interest in non-fiction reading in general, and Nazi history in particular. Indirectly sparked a long love affair with history, so I have much to thank it for. I must re-read it yet another time.

Pretty biased and very dated. However, it has lots of good points. I enjoyed it.

"We arrive at this concept by empirical analysis of the anatomical and neuophysiological structure and its psychical correlations which characterize the species homo. We thus shift the principle of explanation of human passions from Freud's physiological to a sociobiological and historical principle. Since the species Homo sapiens can be defined in anatomical, neurological and physiological terms, we should also be able to define him as a species in psychical terms."
This was page 7. If you can read & fully or even partially understand what Fromm is saying read on. However, if you are anything like me & will get nothing but a terrible headache..... pass.

It took me an entire March to finish this.
Read it for Bookends.my thick book challenge. It was soooo so dry but I couldn't drop it because I was halfway done with it and mama ain't raise no quitter.
I got this from Odilo@upustaka, anyone from Msia check that app out for free stuff.
I dunno how to summarise this.
It argues nature vs nurture on why humans are terrible. Quotes a lot of psychologists and I think it lost me at the necrophilia chapter. Then I just slogged through. Hitler chapter was a good summary on his life tho.
My rudimentary level of psychiatry is useless in understanding this.
Maybe this is my last book of substance for the year. I'm either gonna start tackling my TBR pile or just mindlessly read manga. We'll see.
