Erich Fromm - The Art of Love - Psychology audiobook

Erich Fromm - The Art of Love (1989) - Free psychology audiobooks.
The Art of Loving is a 1956 book by psychoanalyst and social philosopher Erich Fromm, which was published as part of the World Perspectives Series edited by Ruth Nanda Anshen. In this work, Fromm develops his perspective on human nature, from his earlier work, Escape from Freedom and Man for Himself - principles which he revisits in many of his other major works.
Fromm presents love as a skill that can be taught and developed. He rejects the idea of loving as something magical and mysterious that cannot be analyzed and explained, and is therefore skeptical about popular ideas such as "falling in love" or being helpless in the face of love.(summary adapted from wikipedia)

Gems on gems in this book. Throughout this listening I kept thinking to myself whether I should stop and write things down. It would have taken so long though. I feel that the essential always stays with us, no need for memorizing. Of course, attention plays a big role here, and in love

[@Ghadoshii]

This book gave me different perspective about love and life in general and the reader is so good

[@Russel_at_whatever]

حقيقي فعلا يا غادة. ملاحظة في محلها

[@freeghost5084]

I've read this book about 8 years ago in its original german version. I still clearly remember how moved I was by the book, by what Fromm has contributed to the development of psychoanalyse as well as by his person as one of the most courageous philosophers of his time. I'm happy to have come across the audio book and am thankful for your sharing it with us here.

[@janhafen1263]

The original version is English. When Fromm exciled to the US he started writing and publishing on English instead of German

[@TheUrchman202]

I thought I knew love until I read this book, it really changed my perspective towards love, a good book to read.

[@robthom09]

I haven't read the book, but my first year at university (40 years ago), we studied excerpts. At that time there was nothing like this perspective of love being an art.. requiring some effort. Makes a lot of sense, I wish everyone understood this, instead of basing decisions on infatuation and emotional triggers.

[@mostlynew]

Rob Thom - Most of us make the mistake of believing that love is something we get or have. Erich Fromm teaches us that love is something we do.

[@riffraffrichard]

Fantastic, alot to contemplate and think about. He conjures feelings i have had innately all my life and struggled with, the feeling of my love being compartmentalised and shame in expressing it. Its really good how he contextualises his wisdom in the capitalist world we live in. It takes alot to find ways to fully express love in this mechanised world and i feel he is right while we should focus on the ways we can improve as individuals at some point sooner preferably than later we need to alter the infrastructure to support these changes. However, this may require a lot of individuals living with higher consciousness in order to envision and create this new way of life. I have met some amazing people in my life and i can say the power of living in balance and connected to the world is infectious. I am going to try to move towards a better way of being. Wish you all love and light on your journey xx

"If one does not know that everything has it's time and want to force things then indeed we will never succeed in being concentrated nor art of loving"

I was recommended this book by Vera Ray in early 1996 in Melbourne, Australia. I bought it straight away and have read it many times since. It is a very important book.

[@zeljkaznatizeljka2758]

Still my favourite book! Thank you for sharing it! :)

[@squidproquo2241]

I read this book when I was young. It was interesting enough to make me read his other books especially previous to this one, such as "Escape From Freedom", "Man For Himself", " The Sane Society", "Psychoanalysis and Religion", and then later ones such as "To Have, or To Be", "Psychoanalysis and Zen Buddhism." When, I was reading "Psychoanalysis and Zen Buddhism" I started to connect his ideas to the extent, that I was ahead about 20 pages while reading it. The Art of Love, is one of his shorter books, and, yet, it requires a lot of theoretical/philosophical knowledge about love, if, you are coming from a western culture, in which you use the term "making love" for having sex. There is a lot of useful information in this book, even though the premise of it, is a false one. Love is not an art, that we can learn, nor it is an emotion that we can feel or fall into. Rather, love is a state of consciousness, that we can experience. He was so close to this conclusion. However, He couldn't get there. To be clearer, love is a state of consciousness that we can enter, only if, we have the proper ethics for such kind of experience. Without that proper ethics, like all other true human qualities that can be experienced as a state of consciousness, the pretense will last until a drastic experience to force us to stop pretending, and reveal our true level of consciousness and ethical make up. So, to bring this to an example; marriage does not kill love, but delusions of someone about himself/herself, and his/her ethical make up will.

[@1sam2fisher]

Can I ask how you came up with that conclusion? Any other books you can recommend with the same train of thought as you?

[@nerdfighter_9]

What is not a true human quality?

[@mad-c4o]

Hi. Is it possible to have a conversation with you? I like your very precise definition of love

[@luhohnel]

this is beautiful, hope you have an amazing day today and a blessing finds you in your way

[@MusiqueTri]

I came to the same conclusion, but that conclusion came from reading the book. In fact, that's what it says. It's not just an 'emotion', you fall in love and then you ARE in love. « Being » in love is what it's all about It is a state as you said and as he said but it is an art to maintain it and make it productive. If we are not to lose love, we must be disciplined and not succumb to the evils of this world. So you can't be in love if you haven't practised and mastered this state. It is this practice that is an art on a daily basis: don't succumb to the hatred you receive. Don't live for others. Be altruistic thanks to the love within us and not to receive love to fill you up. Not to be conformist and to become who we are with the love within us. So you can be in love if you are « Love ». You can love if you can be in this state...

To Love is to know no seperatness between yourself and the beloved.

[@bensoco]

It is *good* to be alive. Never thought this would be a radical statement but saying it now I think would be unrelatable to so many of my millennial peers. And yet I've always felt this way. I think I am an exception though. Many people I know have to hustle just stay afloat or pay off debts. The concept of ownership or long term stability seem like a pipedream to many of my friends. Capitalism needs to be reeled in and made to be more human, more aware of our basic needs and conditions for happiness. It's not working for most of us. I want to see a better world in my lifetime if only for the next generation to play in.

The loneliness is the eternal topic in our lives. None of the philosophy can get rid of it. All of us are looking for love of different forms. And I was attracted by the topic of the book: the ART of love. Yes, it is an art which every one has different ways to create it. That is why love is so mysterious and beautiful.

Is love an art, then thou art varies, If love is an art then articulate knows it well Is art defines love; then it must have been without clouds of mistrust If loving is an art; then there shouldn't have been doubts of mysticism Is love yet to be defined; off course otherwise it should have been clear what it is as it is human attribute like others related to its life in the life spectrum.
