Full disclosure: I only got a few chapters in. The book was far too verbose, both in actual prose and in getting to the damn point. I left with a vague sense that whatever it was Fromm was trying to tell me, he could have done it in about a thousand words if he cared more about getting his point across.

Somewhat relatedly, why do liberal arts majors always care so much about what Freud thinks?
