"Escape from Freedom" by Erich Fromm is essential listening for individuals interested in psychology, sociology, and philosophy, particularly those who wish to understand the dynamics of freedom and societal conformity.

The audiobook is particularly relevant for students, mental health professionals, and readers seeking insight into the psychological underpinnings of authoritarianism and the human condition in the modern world.

3 quotes from Escape from Freedom

"Freedom is not merely the absence of oppression; it is the presence of the opportunity to grow and develop one's human potential."
"The escape from freedom is the tendency of individuals to relinquish their freedom for the comfort of conformity and security."
"True freedom involves the responsibility to engage with one's own potential and the world, rather than surrendering to the safety of authoritarian control."

Author : Erich Fromm

Erich Fromm was a German-American born into a Jewish family. As a psychologist, philosopher, and a member of the Frankfurt School, he moved to the United States in nineteen thirty-four to evade the Nazi regime. Fromm was deeply influenced by Marxist philosophy. His research covered a wide range of topics, including freedom, spontaneous love, totalitarianism, and democracy. He merged humanism and psychoanalysis to form his own style and is regarded as one of the founders of psychoanalytic sociology.
