The Art of Being Audiobook

" Best book i ever read. "

" This book changed the way I view myself in relation to my culture and society. I would recommend it to any one who has ever felt torn between what they feel is right for them and what their society often suggests is right for them. It is a great and fascinating book! "

" another book, I never part from "

" Quit reading reviews and just read this one because it is quick and worth the read. "

" Expansion and revision to To Have and To Be. Emphasizes importance of self-awareness and independence, and takes apart rationales behind 'having', or rampant consumerism, false paths to 'enlightment', and other trivial things. "

" "Modern man has many things and uses many things, but he is very little." "

" it about the difference between Being & Having "

" Originally part of To Have or to Be?, Fromm decided it would draw too much attention away from the main part of the book, so he wrote this compelling volume. He does an excellent job of writing to everyone, not just an academic audience. "

" I like it a lot, it is his books that touches so many fields of my life, and open my eyes to many questions that I never suposed to exist. Definetly a must to read. "

" There was nothing very profound or insightful about this. In many places, the author was quite boring and irrelevant. "

" Fromm goes deeply into viewing the core of our existence and what we are attempting to attain by being "happy." Very thought provoking and many insights were valid. However, it felt as if a large portion of the book was laced with an air of self righteousness. "

" A beautiful guide on living. Must read "

" Short, sweet and very good "

" Erich Fromm outdid all social scientists in this book. My explanation would be too shallow to write, so I advise you to read it yourself! "
