Why is it so difficult to break away from the kind of existence that is based on having? This work complements the texts "To Have or To Be" and "The Art of Being" with unpublished lectures, interviews, and apercus to lift us out of a life of passivity into one of creative joy.
Fromm's essential writings, some never before published, in a compact volume. Selections include: "Human Alienation," "Origins of the Having Mode of Existence", "To Have or to Be?", and "Essentials of a Life Between Having and Being".
