Title: The Essential Fromm: Life Between Having and Being Author: Erich Fromm Narrator: Jim Seybert Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 30 minutes Release date: February 27, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Essays on human alienation, mode of existence, consumerism, narcissism, and more from 'both a psychologist of penetration and a writer of ability' (Chicago Tribune). As Erich Fromm points out, ours is 'a life between having and being'—between mere having and healthy being, between destructiveness and creativity, between narcissism and productive self-understanding, between passivity and the joy of positive activity. The alternatives of having and being are basic orientations of our character and determine our behavior. The mostly unpublished and unknown texts featured in The Essential Fromm encapsulate the psychologist's views on the fulfilling life. To put down roots yet remain free is what the late Erich Fromm called the art of being. It is the secret of happiness.
