The anniversary edition, celebrating fifty years of the groundbreaking international bestseller, which has shown millions of readers how to make their lives interesting and creative by developing their hidden potential for Love. Most people, when in love, are unable to rise to the only level that truly matters: the level of love that is intertwined with maturity, self-awareness, and courage.

As with any other art, the art of love requires practice and focus, as well as genuine insight and understanding. In this classic book, The Art of Love, the renowned psychoanalyst and social thinker Erich Fromm explores love from all sides and aspects – not just romantic love, which is permeated with so many misconceptions and great expectations, but also brotherly love, erotic love, parental love for their children, love for ourselves, and love for God.

“Erich Fromm is both an incisive psychologist and a skilled writer. His book has prestige and straightforwardness, practicality and precision.” Chicago Tribune

“Every paragraph is filled with common sense, humanity, and realism.” Fortune
