3.0 out of 5 stars Not his best...., December 6, 2001

By	Craig Chalquist, PhD, author of TERRAPSYCHOLO... (Bay Area, CA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Fromm rigidly adheres to his version of the humanist position here by claiming that the mystics of all faiths have been imbued with the glow of man's powers--powers of heart, mind, spirit--rather than God's, God being a symbol of those same powers, awaiting unfoldment.

From a theistic/mystical perspective, however, this is a side-effect, and if taken for the Source of the experience brings on a tremendous inflation of the ego. No mystic really thinks, as Fromm does, that man is the measure of all things. Fromm is best when he sticks to human psychology--THE SANE SOCIETY, ESCAPE FROM FREEDOM, THE ART OF LOVING are worth buying.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth reading!, April 22, 2007

By	Rev4u "Rev" (PV, Ca United States) - See all my reviews

Another great book by a great mind. Although, this volume is not his masterpiece work, it is definitely worth reading. Fromm taps into the core issues of religion, and addresses the schizm that exists within the bureaucracy of organized religion. One side is pulling toward a patriarchal, authoritarian, fear and guilt orientation, while the other is geared toward self-realization, as well as the promotion of human ideals. He does not agree with Freud on many issues, and he warns about the limits of psychoanalysis as a tool in the search for man's higher spiritual self. Although psychoanalysis is not trendy any longer, it remains the core and the glue that holds the subjective field of psychology together.

3.0 out of 5 stars Naive in the typology of religion, August 13, 2007

By	Gregory Olsen "renaissance man" (San Ramon, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I had trouble rating this. The biggest failing is that Fromm really has only a layman's grasp of what religion is and consequently makes dumb statements like "secular religion". He confuses Weltanschauung with religion and they are not necessarily the same thing. He also makes some fairly trite comparisons with religion and psychoanalysis. The bulk of the book is a commercial for his particular brand of humanistic Neofreudianism viz. classical Freudianism. It is not his best book.
