I’ve paused on the part regarding self-love. I just feel Fromm is going to destroy whatever understanding of it I previously had. He’s perfectly put into words a lot of my floating thoughts. What a mind.

This is not a book I can just speed read. It’s more of an academic text. It’s well written to the point that I genuinely feel Fromm is speaking to me, the individual.

So far, I’ve only read the intro, the preface and the first chapter—I’m beyond hooked. Fromm’s first language isn’t English yet his mastery of English writing is adjacent to poetry. I’m entranced.
