Revisiting Dr. Erich Fromm
"Man is the only animal for whom his own existence is a problem which he has to solve and from which he cannot escape."
I first read his works when I was 19 or 20 years old and I was rapt. Recently I saw a piece on Dr. Fromm on the wonderful website Brain Pickings that reignited my interest in this marvelous intellect. His works are still relevant. If you've read him I recommend rereading his works. If you're unfamiliar read some of his books, you'll be happy you did. His style is neither too dense or too technical and he writes with a heart full of love. His insights are predictive and go straight to the heart of human nature and society maintaining their authority even in the 21st Century.
