Erich Fromm on Mental Health (1960) I recall being influenced by Erich Fromm's socialist vision " ,The Sane Society ," at the beginning of the " Tumultuous Sixties ". So were others- see comment .

I found his books, " The Sane Society," "The Art of Loving," The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness," etc. 'incomprehensible' yet then, for their profundity, deeply incisive analysis on the nature of modern man in a society beleaguered by self-centeredness, greed, & lust for created goods. He defined modern man in his 1950's book as: "Well fed, well cloth, but no self." That definition given more than 50 years remains "truer" now than ever before. I am in that society, regrettably, but hopefully Mr. Fromm have made me acutely aware of the meaninglessness of materialistic pursuit. Thank you Mr. Fromm for your insights on the 'destructiveness' of society towards individual well being. " ]
