Average Americans were suffering from different forms of evil, including a rise in juvenile delinquency. On a grander scale, the threat of nuclear war loomed over the nation, and President John F.

He also explores man's ability to destroy and further considers freedom, aggression, destructiveness, and violence. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"\u003ci\u003eThe Heart of Man\u003c\/i\u003e questions human nature itself, from the forms of violence that plague it to individual and social narcissism to how the positive value of \"love of life\" can potentially outweigh the destructive \"syndrome of decay\" caused by the love of death and other harmful tendencies of thought.\" --\u003ci\u003eMidwest Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eErich Fromm (1900-1980) was a bestselling psychoanalyst and social philosopher whose views about alienation, love, and sanity in society--discussed in his books such as \u003ci\u003eEscape from Freedom\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e The Art of Loving\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e The Sane Society\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eTo Have or To Be?\u003c\/i\u003e--helped shape the landscape of psychology in the mid-twentieth century. Fromm was born in Frankfurt, Germany, to Jewish parents, and studied at the universities of Frankfurt, Heidelberg (where in 1922 he earned his doctorate in sociology), and Munich. In the 1930s he was one of the most influential figures at the Frankfurt Institute of Social Research. In 1934, as the Nazis rose to power, he moved to the United States. He practiced psychoanalysis in both New York and Mexico City before moving to Switzerland in 1974, where he continued his work until his death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 174\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 8 x 5.25 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 02, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45906465882191,"sku":"9798337209166","price":26.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/3083\/3487\/files\/CdGUiAIvtJ9798337209166.webp?v=1781790892","url":"https:\/\/lumaryon.com\/products\/the-heart-of-man-its-genius-for-good-and-evil-paperback","provider":"Lumaryon Universal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
