To Have or To Be? by Erich Fromm

I started reading it last week, after it had been waiting for me patiently on my book shelf for almost --- 3 years!

I think Fromm was one of the greatest thinkers and psychologists of the 20th centurey. Between the lines you can notice his well developed intuition as well as his love for the humankind. I get the feeling that he surely "walked his talk!

His book The Art of Loving Plays a key role in a research-work I wrote about The Meaning of Suffering.

Am only at the beginning of it, so, for the moment I will just put a quote from the cover:
"If we were consciously aware of what we really know about ourselves and others, we could not go on living as we do, accepting so many lies."
Enjoy,
Sara
