Why Your Brain Actually Craves Toxic Love

Why does love feel so hard to find? ❤️ In The Art of Loving, psychoanalyst Erich Fromm argued that love is not a feeling you fall into. It is an art you learn and practice, and most of us never do. In this animated psychology video we explain Erich Fromm's most famous book in simple words. Written in 1956, The Art of Loving has sold millions of copies, and its ideas feel more urgent than ever in a world of dating apps and perfect profile pictures. 📖 You will discover why Fromm believed our deepest fear is separateness, the three mistakes almost everyone makes about love, and why the rush of falling in love can say more about loneliness than about how deep a relationship really is. 💭 We explore the four elements of real love according to Fromm: care, responsibility, respect and knowledge. You will learn the difference between immature and mature love, why loving yourself is not selfishness, and the daily practice Fromm recommended: discipline, concentration, patience, faith and courage. 🌱 If you enjoy psychology explained simply, with hand drawn animation, and big ideas from classic books, this video is for you. ✍️ #ErichFromm #TheArtOfLoving #PsychologyOfLove #LoveIsNotAFeeling #PsychologyExplained
