The Art of Loving (Erich Fromm)

*The Art of Loving* by Erich Fromm explores love as a skill that requires practice, effort, and self-awareness, rather than just a feeling that happens passively. Fromm emphasizes that true love involves care, responsibility, respect, and knowledge of another person, rooted in self-awareness and genuine concern. It encourages individuals to develop their capacity for love through maturity, discipline, and an understanding of oneself. Ultimately, Fromm presents love as an active art that, when cultivated consciously, fosters deep connection, growth, and fulfillment for both partners.
