The fiftieth Anniversary Edition of the groundbreaking international
bestseller that has shown millions of readers how to achieve rich,
productive lives by developing their hidden capacities for love Most people
are unable to love on the only level that truly matters: love that is
compounded of maturity, self-knowledge, and courage. As with every art,
love demands practice and concentration, as well as genuine insight and
understanding. In his classic work, The Art of Loving, renowned
psychoanalyst and social philosopher Erich Fromm explores love in all its
aspects—not only romantic love, steeped in false conceptions and lofty
expectations, but also brotherly love, erotic love, self-love, the love of
God, and the love of parents for their children.
