The Art of Being</i> teaches us to avoid the tantalizing illusions of our consumer-driven world by learning to function as a whole person from a state of inner completeness or <i>being</i>. The transition from an identity of <i>having</i> to <i>being</i> creates a state of enlightened psychological and spiritual happiness. Fromm observes that the modern person is less a self-reflective being than a composite of data promoted by the mass media, and he encourages us to pursue true self-awareness beyond simple political, ideological, and religious clichés. By learning to be centered in the self, the individual is less swayed by the endless pressures and dissatisfactions of the culture of consumerism. 2423763 1992 The Art of Being total:92|5:38|4:23|3:23|2:6|1:2| 92 365 174 11 25492 0826406734 9780826406736 91 11 3.97 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167739870m/25492.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25492.The_Art_of_Being 5 6 false Tue Aug 05 02:12:19 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 05 04:05:00 -0700 2008 those books.”
