Between 1974 and 1976, while working on the book To Have Or to Be? at his home in Locarno, Switzerland, the aged Erich Fromm wrote far more manuscript and chapters than were actually used in the book, which was published in 1976. Some of these chapters are contained in the present volume. They deal entirely with the 'steps toward being' that the individual can take in order to learn the Art of Being.How can we realize and actualize Love, Reason, and meaningful, productive work? Fromm here offers the Art of Being, a way of living based on authentic selfawareness that comes only through honest selfanalysis. Wisely, he warns of the pitfalls of our attaining enlightenment without effort, or believing that life can be lived without pain.The tantalizing 'spiritual smorgasbord' offered by our consumeroriented world, Fromm maintains, only feeds our illusions of 'easy awareness.' Confronting the psychoGurus who preach these shortcuts to enlightenment, Fromm offers another way to selfawareness and wellbeing, one based on psychoanalysis and selfawareness through meditation.If the Art of Being the art of functioning as a whole person can be considered the supreme goal of life, a breakthrough occurs when we move from narcissistic selfishness and egotism from having to psychological and spiritual happiness being.The Art of Being will be one of the most important works in the Fromm canon for years to come.
