The Art of Loving

Erich Fromm

3.7 AVERAGE

challenging informative medium-paced

Furthering my quest to recalibrate my data set on what love is, and overriding my garbage inputs, I picked this up. But as other readers have noted, there is a lot that is outdated (publishing in 1956), especially when it comes to homosexuality and gender identity.

Couldn't get past it, and the frequent uses of religious doctrine to back up psychological claims. There are still some universal truths about man's need for connection and to defy the insanity of aloneness , but not a lot more useful information to help me build a theoretical understanding that will serve me in my quest.

A great guide to the various forms of expressions of love that are commonplace in society with detailed and pragmatic explanations of how some should be avoided, and some should be sought or cultivated and how to do so. Succinct and concise and does not suffer from dreariness of the typical insight / psychology / self help genre

Cuando en la escuela dicen que los libros te ayudan a llegar a donde tú quieras en el mundo no siempre se refieren a la fantasía y los mundos que puedas conocer a través de las páginas, con este libro entendí lo lejos que puedes llegar con un libro en común, la gente con la que puedes conectar, las conversaciones que puedes crear y lo increíble que es reconocer tu mundo a través de los otros, gracias profesor Soriano, gracias Juan Carlos, gracias Enrique y gracias mamá. 

idk why people recommend this as some kind of leftist recommendation, this guy’s on some really whack shit
