Essays on human alienation, mode of existence, consumerism,
narcissism, and more from “both a psychologist of penetration and a
writer of ability” (Chicago Tribune). As Erich Fromm points out,
ours is “a life between having and being”—between mere having
and healthy being, between destructiveness and creativity, between
narcissism and productive self-understanding, between passivity and
the joy of positive activity. The alternatives of having and being are
basic orientations of our character and determine our behavior. The
mostly unpublished and unknown texts featured in The Essential Fromm
encapsulate the psychologist’s views on the fulfilling life. To put
down roots yet remain free is what the late Erich Fromm called the art
of being. It is the secret of happiness.
