In Episode 17, we begin a series for the month of February focused on love. To begin, we pull our springboard for discussion from Erich Fromm's book The Art of Loving (Free here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKwIlz-dzx4&t=2706s) In it, he presents six different types of love: Brotherly, Motherly, Fatherly, Erotic, Self-Love and Love for God. We give an overview of each of these types of love as well as a basic definition of what love is, from Fromm's perspective. He proposes that love is an art, and it is thus something to be learned and practiced, and must be prioritized in order to become something a person is skilled at. At the beginning, we briefly discuss the Vox Article "What You're Feeling is Grief" by Nylah Burton: https://apple.news/AfeI0D1ydSpWD09ChXaE9ZA It mentions how COVID is affecting our mental health in an increasingly intense manner, as we are running out of ways to cope, since many of our coping mechanisms are things we have to avoid right now. Also, the amount of loss we are feeling has continue to build, including the inability to mourn the many hundreds of thousands of deaths that have occurred over the past year since we've had to cut back on gathering together. We also talk about an event we are looking forward to on April 3, and some exciting interviews we have scheduled for this month around the theme of love, sex, and relationships.
