This book is like my subconscious pointing out all of my lifelong flaws and every issues I've had an any relationship

This book changed my life when I read it at 19. 🙏❤️

My husband gave me this book as a Valentine’s gift.

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

"our whole culture is based on the appetite for BUYING on the idea of a mutually favourable exchange, modern man's happiness consists in the thrill of looking at the shop windows and in buying all that he can afford to buy either for cash or on installments, he or she looks at people in a similar way"

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

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

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.

"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"

Merry Christmas Everyone ❤️ From Iran. I wish everyone a happy early New Year Full of good health , lots of knowledge and Love ❤️

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

This has much to teach me! How did I get here without knowing all this. Thanks a lot. Hope I can unlearn all my wrong conditioning

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

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.

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.

One of the Best Books that I have read/listened to

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.

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

Who is the reader?? Finally, someone who doesn't read like a robot!!

One if the most important books ever written. Should be read to children before any Bible study is done is Sunday school. Aside from that, it's amazing for everyone. It's just that I can relate to the Christian aspect.

Perfect narration ! Thank you.

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.

Best voice ever,and best book ever

Conscious Love as opposed dependant love can be practised with our beloved animals as humans we often run each other down when dealing with conflicts or relational disagreements we often play headgames or try to one up each other our pets love us unconditionaly no matter what even when get mad at them they sadly resine themselves to our every whim or command....

Needed This. Well Narrated Skillfully Written.

The way he describes separateness as the source of anxiety and how overcoming separateness is the only thing keeping us from insanity is so spot on.. almost like ive had these thoughts/feelings and never had a way to describe them until now.. the anxiety/awareness of the world being more than you and your present self and that feeling of helplessness, sometimes I feel like I could allow myself to go insane if i just let myself succumb to the helplessness.. it’s like the anxiety comes from this awareness that I’m hanging on a thread and the thread keeping me up is routine and passion and relationships but all those can just disappear and it can just be you and then what are you even anymore if that doesn’t exist.. I guess I’m just mind blown bc insanity has always been labeled as crazy people and he describes it in the manner that we all have the potential to go insane… which is pretty insane hah

Awesome Audiobook.. Thanks for sharing..

Did a paper on this many years ago. Seems I have disregarded a lot of what Dr. Fromm postulated here. He was one of my best teachers really.

🔥THIS GAVE ME ALL THE LIFE I NEEDED 🔥

thank you for reading this book. just love how the reader reads this book.

55:24 is like nuking romantic love from orbital space.

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.

Love the book!

This the most amazing book I have ever known

midway and i can’t say it makes much sense in tone or generalizations ... i just finished alice miller’s “the drama of the gifted child” and it strikes as much more truthful, accurate and insightful.

this is scary good!! glad i found this!

love is an art 😍

Wow, this book 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Thanx for uploading!!!....😎😎😎

Wow! What a great book!

VERY HELPFUL ADVICE

2:05:15 IV. The Practice of Love

Thank you for uploading this.

It has become that marketable that a person who is different has no place as people refer to their already existing perception levels to give meaning to that person's actions more tragic is that it becomes an ego chellenge to accept that they don't have knowledge of such actions or personality.

wow this really changed my outlook on life

why is this so different from the book im reading.. like missing many paragraphs.. Oh i see why now. I am grateful for the edit.

Thank you so much for this upload!

About 39:30 there is a huge skip on the reading.

Had a good time.

Thank you! 🌸

Amazing reader. As if the author himself

The interpretations of love are unfulfilling

The narrate this I like him!

That guy's name is Erich Fromm, not Erih... ... ...

Love is a constant challenge Yet he does not know the time he gains except to kill it A condition of learning any art is a supreme concern with mastery of the art Of the art is not of supreme importance the apprentice will never learn it Faith power Mutually exclusive. Faith : courage to accept pain Accept pain & disappointment. To love & be loved need courage Courage to judge certain values, as an ultimate concern 8y takes faith to begin any work To stick to one's convictions even if they are unpopular All this requires faith and courage To take difficulties setbacks, and sorrows of life, as a challenge Which to overcome makes us stronger. Rather than as unjust punishment (which should not happen to us). The practice of daily

The Art Of Love By: Erich Fromm

I always tell people all this author has written and they say I have unrealistic expectations of people. 😂

This book teachs well👍

Love equal power

For me, faith creates union.

a must to read book ❤❤❤

Is this version abridged in any way? It seems other recorded versions are approximately 4 hours long.. I know prefaces are not included, is there anything else missing?

02:00:06 Busy accusing other, not self - mutual projection. Ignoring own problems

good book

The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness

2:21:41 The Main Condition for the Achievement of Love is the Overcoming of One's Narcissism

Awesome

Life long learning

To preachy and religious. I just wanted to learn how to strengthen a relationship.

im here because... my ex sent me this link after dumping me 40 something days ago... now what?. i laughed at the part where he said the woman who doesnt water her flowers couldnt possibly love flowers. 😅 #guilty

Marvellous & thank you very much for your upload pity about the 50hz hum but I can easily forgive that as this is pretty valuable yet free :) (if you have some kind of equaliser on your player, then you can diminish that hum by turning down all the lower frequency bands to zero thus leaving all from 1k upwards at normal levels)

10-12-seperateness from the world drives us insane (j)

I been planning have a pattern this year so 😊

When the concept of life is not clear infront of humans how can its domains be?

Is it possible to put up a transcript for it, so you can follow the text while you read?

I catch words such us:" only those which love dosnt serve purpose begins to unfold" what did he mean by this? Have I got this correctly? If anyone can assist. Thanks

What happened at 39.03? you skipped from p 28 to 32. Why did you edit these pages out?

30:09 onward

Notes : 23:00

what's the binaural beat behind it lol..... i clearly hear some sound/vibration

27:20-30:24 31:07/32:34-34:27 37:35-37:41 37:44-37:58

This audio book is highly inaccurate in places. It contains several inconsistencies and digressions from the print version of the book.

1:41:00

All roles are already distinguished and selected to to you when you're born by the system one is in, So what is success and failure? If you are a car mechanic and robotic mechanic takes your place now you are a failure unemployed whereas if you own the garage you are successful and if the automobile shift makes you out of business you are under debt but if you had the info and shifted in time to either new technology or underdeveloped country you are successful, So what is success and failure? In the end you die with the heights of stress on medication or drugs and the mechanic who doesn't know the game dies due to uninvited desperateness alike.

Merry Christmas..

19:50,24:00

Psychologists/Psychiatrists think that everyone is insane except them, especially if you do not believe their methods, doubly especially when they charge insane prices for their scheduled treatments. The couch cries 'ouch' at the ole bill!

1:23:52

2:22:40

On 39th minute there is a part missing

What then is the "marketing orientation 's relationship to ...... ?

Why discipline: 02:05:10

Oh ………. ❤️!

Please Available The English Subtitles...🙏🙏🙏

I find this work interesting but he claims that Freud has patriarchal views yet I also am hearing that his understanding of mothers and fathers to be extremely binary which falls into patriarchy, too. Of course, context matters too. Just my thoughts.

i can translate this book to portuguese and put here on youtube without monetize it? without problems of copyright?
