Fromm asks: what is there in the conditions of human existence to lead man to the orgies of destruction and violence in which he has indulged? By drawing on the findings of anthropology, palaeontogy, psychology and history; and including striking character analyses of Stalin, Hitler and Himmler, he shows how the failure to use our capacity for love and reason results in the development of the reverse: we wish to control life absolutely, or to destroy it.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56294508855669,"sku":"9780712674898","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780712674898_a25c4720-cf34-4bff-87ea-9f285524c5ae.jpg?v=1786015119"},{"product_id":"9781472146953","title":"The Art of Being","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow can we realise and actualise love, reason and meaningful, productive work? \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf the Art of Being - the art of functioning as a whole person - can be considered the supreme goal of life, a breakthrough occurs when we move from narcissistic selfishness and egotism - from \u003ci\u003ehaving \u003c\/i\u003e- to psychological and spiritual happiness - \u003ci\u003ebeing\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Being \u003c\/i\u003eremains one of the most important and sought-after works in the Fromm canon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFromm here offers a path to true wellbeing and a way of living based on authentic self-awareness that comes only through honest self-analysis.

Nothing less than a manifesto for a new social and psychological revolution to save our threatened planet, this book is a summary of the penetrating thought of Eric Fromm. His thesis is that two modes of existence struggle for the spirit of humankind: the having mode, which concentrates on material possessions, power, and aggression, and is the basis of the universal evils of greed, envy, and violence; and the being mode, which is based on love, the pleasure of sharing, and in productive activity. To Have Or to Be? is a brilliant program for socioeconomic change.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56303357690229,"sku":"9781780936802","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781780936802_67f6bccd-be3a-45b0-8986-53c42832d238.jpg?v=1786025556"},{"product_id":"art-of-loving-pb","title":"The Art of Loving","description":"Simple guide to love and loving by renowned psychologist Erich Fromm.
