About this listen

"[A] fascinating collection of essays" on the complicated relations between men and women from the New York Times-bestselling author of The Art of Loving (The New York Times Book Review).

The renowned social psychologist delves deep into the fraught relationship between genders, drawing upon the influential insights of Bachofen, Freud, Marx, and Briffault. Not primarily interested in the existence of anatomical and biological differences between the sexes, Fromm instead analyzes how these differences have been made use of throughout human history. Drawing from Bachofen's Mother Right, Fromm expounds on how matriarchal and patriarchal social structures determine relations between the sexes in essential ways, and how they are shaped by the dominant orientation of the social character at any given time. He posits that the most important question concerning gender relations is which characterological orientation determines human relationships: love or hate, love of life or fascination with force. Thus, it will not be gender conflict that will determine humanity's future but whether we opt for love of life or love of death.

One more amazing book from Fromm

I’m enthusiastic about Eric Fromm’s works, his books are always full of high-quality content.
As with all his books, this one is full of love for the human being, with many insights into the human soul. Fromm was (in my view) a truly living soul.

As usual, although the book's content is dense and sometimes complex, Fromm puts it easily and understandably.

I highly recommend this book for anyone searching for self-deep understanding.

You may get bored when he talks about the myths, but keep going the end will surprise the listener.

I personally found the peculiar voice of the narrator added a charm and apocalyptic feeling to the book.
