Who should listen The Art of Loving

"The Art of Loving" by Erich Fromm is essential listening for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of love in its various forms—romantic, familial, and platonic. Ideal for those interested in psychology, philosophy, and self-improvement, this audiobook offers valuable insights into the nature of love as an active practice rather than a mere feeling. It’s particularly beneficial for individuals grappling with relationship challenges, those on a journey of personal growth, and anyone in search of a more profound connection with themselves and others.

3 quotes from The Art of Loving

  • "Love is not something you find. It's something that finds you."
  • "To love is to commit oneself without guarantee. It is to give oneself completely to another, and to be vulnerable as a result."
  • "The main condition for the attainment of love is the overcoming of one’s own narcissism."

Author : Erich Fromm

The author of this book, Erich Fromm, received a Ph.D. in philosophy from Heidelberg University in 1922. He was a famous psychologist, sociologist, and philosopher of the 20th century. He performed psychological counseling work and taught at a number of universities including the National Autonomous University of Mexico, Michigan State University, and New York University. Fromm was instrumental in developing the methodology to understand human social behavior via psychoanalysis, a technique founded by Sigmund Freud. Fromm will always be remembered as the founder of psychoanalytical social psychology.
