The Art of Loving

"The Art of Loving," by Erich Fromm, emphasizes that genuine love is an active skill that requires effort, understanding, and commitment. It involves more than just feelings; it demands nurturing, respect, and responsibility. Love is about giving and growth, not possession or dependency. Fromm suggests that true love involves self-awareness, patience, and a desire to support another’s well-being. It’s an ongoing practice that cultivates connection and intimacy, emphasizing that love is an art that can be developed through deliberate action and understanding, rather than something purely based on luck or emotion.
