A review by james_z
Escape from Freedom by Erich Fromm

3.0

Very concise argument on the paradoxical phenomenon of modern men fighting for freedom while at the same time feeling an extreme sense of loss, confusion, fear and loneliness once freedom is attained. Although the language is written mostly in prose, at times the book oversimplifies some of the more complex issues. Overall, a great read for anyone who wants to break the self-perpetuating, vicious cycle of feeling a sense of helplessness, loneliness and a lack of direction in the modern world. The solution is in this book.
