The labour of love

An episode that explores love as action (original blog: https://www.rachellelamb.com/blog/2015/3/23/love-and-the-wisdom-of-erich-fromm). Inspired by the work of Erich Fromm the German social psychologist and humanistic philosopher who authored many books. Quotes in this episode are from his book The Art of Loving. “Love is an activity, not a passive affect; it is a “standing in,” not a “falling for.” In the most general way, the active character of love can be described by stating that love is primarily giving, not receiving.” ― Erich Fromm, The Art of Loving Marshall Rosenberg - Do You Love Me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otynMEeMStg If you have comments about this episode or topics you'd like me to  explore in future episodes, please submit them here:   https://www.rachellelamb.com/contact-rachelle
