| book description |

Why is it so difficult to break away from the kind of existence that is based on having - gluttonous, conspicuous consumption - versus a life that is truly englightened and satisfying? Many unconscious factors come into play when individuals, even a whole society, stray into a superficial and false way of life. As Erich Fromm puts it in this posthumous publication, ours is ""a life between having and being."" The alternative states of having and being, as basic orientations of our lives and character, were subjects Fromm confronted in ""To Have or to Be?"" and ""The Art of Being"". The present work complements these texts with unpublished lectures, interviews, and apercus to lift us out of a life of passivity into one of creative joy.
