The anxiety disorder that happens inside prisons, is not at all connected to any freedom. Anxiety is also seen in caged animals, hence they too have real feelings like human beings. Soren Kierkegaard could have learned a lot more via ecology.

Thank You for this new post of FROMM Lighthouse ❤ we need You 🎉

Erich fromm was amazing, truly philosopher.

I Love Erich Fromm and I love life

I would love to listen to this, but the music is absolutely unbearable. Do you think you could maybe re-uploaded but without that tremendously irritating soundtrack?

Secondly writing you with gratitude for voice the FROMM's quotes, especially the last one...'free man is by necessity insecure, thinking man is by necessity insecure'. I am wondering how nowadays by necessity the sane individuals should interact eachother within social acceleration of life rythme, within sleep deprivation, within a certain effect of self alienation; simply in order to communicate🧐💫

Thank you 😊

Fromm was one of the GOATs

his argument got even worse in the 21st century. A slow and total lack of conviction (or meaning).

This was a very nice presentation on a little book I read many years ago and really enjoyed, thank you. 🙏🏻 The last last few lines there, and the few preceding lines of discontent in ability to unattach, are indicative of him giving up on self-power Buddha Dhamrm and embracing other-power Buddha Dharma of Amida Buddha

Deeeeeep insights

Like so many Marxists, heavy on the criticism and light on the solutions. Not great builders. Their solutions are so amorphous as to further hide the problem and teeter on meaningless. Nihilism is a tough nut to crack. He can’t fix that, and he knows it. Just make him the center of attention, and he’s fine with modernity.

I like the way he posits escaping nihilism by advocating therapy and getting a bit tougher. Nietzsche’s problem solved by a little Continental Frankfurt School thinking. Get rid of capitalism and Puritanism. Wow, I wonder why Nietzsche and his heir Heidegger never knew it could be this easy.

He left out Stalin. For some reason, intellectuals never see him in the same light. I guess because the utopia he espoused offers to narrow the gulf between negative and positive freedom. Who’s dumb enough to buy that?

Waiting for your final presentation of Eric Fromm with gratitude for your very fine voice tember... Suitable at the end of the journey, to be able to meditate more and more in an authentic individual way, those of your videos might be helpful to get out from the daily inertia as well 🌞

Fabulous again. 👏 Where is the part 3, please?

Choose who you particularly want to hate. Man will always love and hate. He is both good and evil.

He is a genius.

One of the great thinkers of the 20th century!

Mind blowing Bro Ram Ram from India

The pursuit of efficiency will always lead to specialization and division of labor, which leads to feeling fragmented, not whole.

"Being well adjusted to an insane world is not a good sign of mental wellbeing." -Krishnamurti

"Woman" and "Women" exist also ...all of humanity doesn't fit inside the term "Man."

You don't have to be insane to live in this world, but it sure helps.

Music too loud😢

Your videos are thoughtful... thanks so much for putting them together.

Spinoza plus Freud equals Fromm who was a non-theistic mystic. He himself offers great insight into the negative effects of what Leo Straus called the first wave of modernity. I believe, however, that his attraction to Spinoza makes him more captive to the second wave of modernity which begins with Rousseau. Modernity osscilates between glory and violence and peace and compassion because it has prioritized human freedom but not the Truth which truly sets free.

Wokeism certainly fits this 10% criteria, especially if it can successfully convince Americans of MAGA fascism. Trump looks like a Mussolini character and most get their impressions via visual electronic media.

Think about the types now wide-spread throughout america cutting into every socioeconomic class; narcissistic, exploitative, necropholous and market type (which in american society is the "soil" for the necropholous type). How can even the possibility for a true democracy ever emergence from these destructive types???

I didn't think anyone but I read Fromm.

It is true today, people are falling into an authoritarian obedience believing that following is better than the work of making your own decision. Embracing authoritarian culture is the destruction of freedom.

imposing this model on people - does not make it TRUTH- closed systems are closed systems - like a jar with a lid on it. If he and his colleges had had a clue about neurotransmitters - they would have used this theory for toilet paper ( you know how valuable toilet paper is after covid)

this man knew nothing about creatures - Ive never seen/or experienced a submissive creature unless they were severely abused i know no submissive animals except circus animals - this man was insane and made cultures of insane believers -me jewish german too - its a mind wtf well - after some thought - he makes some interesting correlations - not a model of human beings though- his perspectives are very ' contexted' in the ww2 nightmare- a model of the 5 human needs under abuse-yes

Thank for the playbook on how to make someone go insane - I always wondered where the 'theys' got their playbook

If you create prisonsfor others u build your own prison for yourself_ if u hate u build hate_ if u snuff out the flame of another _ you snuff out your own flame _ these are the Laws of Jesus - summarized _if u build phiosophy model or social midel that judges anither _ well_ you get to be in your model_ u become your model_ judgey ur blues away and then u turn blue or more like green with envy.

Too bad Fromm didnt believe in God. So many people treat each other like creatures as they climb over the dead bodies they killed. Its more of an observation _ its a betrayal to watch parents abuse their childern _ never to teach the parent _ He was looking for opportunity to judge someone a Golem. Im german and I've been called Golem to my face in the workplace with a jew boss _ i wonder how they gossip about the golems issues. Escape from FROMm.

bullshit, we do not get to choose our profession in capitalist societies rather we have to do what we are told or starve to death much like in slavery

Difficult enough to treat a neurotic, let alone a schizoid psychosis in an individual--is it not impossible to bring an entire Society to Sanity? German society under hitler's nazism could stand as an example of an insane society--and we know what happened to Germany--which did not possess a nuclear arsenal nor a well developed biological warfare lab.

I strongly recommend reading Fromm’s books rather than listening to someone else’s interpretation of them. They are good reads and not too long.

Is this an audio book?

I have CPTSS and just lòve Fromm, however I cannot listen to your video due to the annoying and evocative music..my brain cannot handle both a voice and some totally unrelated and unnecessary music. Such a shame.

Thanks for this video. I grew up when Fromm was rockin in the free world. Great teacher. On human needs, I shorthand when I'm coaching or teaching by saying we all want safety, mattering and belonging. Great distinction on transcendence. Especially in this age of genetic manipulation, AI and nuclear bombs that threaten to destroy us. Shift: I recommend Anthony De Mello's "The Way To Love" to help people understand the way attachments block happiness and love. De Mello says that if I have an idea about you I can't really love you. I think that is true. Test out Fromm's needs and whether De Mello is right about loving.

I was looking for this book, thanks for sharing.

What an amazing video. My most sincerely congratulations. You could feel so proud of what you make. Thank you so much!!

I want to concentrate on the message, not on the over and over distracting muzak elevator music...
