Book Description :

As Fromm points out, ours is "a life  between having and being"-between mere  having and healthy  being, between destructiveness and creativity, between narcissism and productive self-understanding, between passivity and the joy of positive activity.

The alternatives of  having and  being are basic orientations of our character and determine our behavior. The mostly unpublished and unknown texts featured in  The Essential Fromm encapsulate Fromm's vie on the fulfilling life. To put down roots yet remain free is what the late Erich Fromm called the art of  being. It is the secret of happiness.
