Publisher's summary

Fromm's follow-up to Escape from Freedom and The Art of Loving is a keen study of violence on a small scale leading to the specter of mass destruction.

Audible, please screen your voice actors

Hello Audible, the quality of delivery of this title is very bad. It is hard to understand, due to the voice actor's lack of articulation, he mispronounces words often, like "narcisissm" (not "narcissm"), and restarts sentences that are blundered. Why no post-editing?? Was very disappointing as I was very much looking forward to the actual text of the book.

Book 👍 Narrator 👎

Book content is great, the narrator is bad. Restarts multiple sentences. Inconsistently pronounced the same words “necrophilous” is pronounced “necriphilous”. “Narcissism” is pronounced “Narcisissism”. The inflection between ideas is non-existent m, so separate ideas are blurred together.
