The Pequod Review:
The Art of Loving, Erich Fromm's sixth book, presents love as a skill that can be developed and improved upon: “Love today is a relatively rare phenomenon, that we have a great deal of sentimentality; we have a great deal of illusion about love, namely as something one falls in. But the question is that one cannot fall in love, really; one has to be in love. And that means that loving becomes, and the ability to love, becomes one of the most important things in life.”
