Armin A. Zadeh 
The Forgotten Art of Love 
What Love Means and Why It Matters

Explore the many facets of our most valued emotion


Cardiologist and professor Armin Zadeh revisits psychologist Erich Fromm’s
The Art of Loving, a book that has fascinated him for decades
. The Forgotten Art of Love examines love in its complex entirety — through the lenses of biology, philosophy, history, religion, sociology, and economics — to fill in critical voids in Fromm’s classic work and to provide a contemporary understanding of love. This unique and wide-ranging book looks at love’s crucial role in every aspect of human existence, exploring what love has to do with sex, spirituality, society, and the meaning of life; different kinds of love (for our children, for our neighbors); and whether love is a matter of luck or an art that can be mastered. Dr. Zadeh provides a fascinating, empowering guide to enhancing relationships and happiness — concluding with a provocative vision for firmly anchoring love in our society.
