The Art of Loving

First published in 1956, Erich Fromm's short classic argues that love is not something we simply fall into but an art that has to be learned and practised, like music or carpentry. He looks at love between parents and children, between friends, between partners, love of oneself and love of God, and explains why care, responsibility, respect and knowledge lie at the heart of each. A calm, wise book that many readers return to. The text is in Persian (Farsi/Dari).
