《爱的艺术》是美国社会心理学家和哲学家、法兰克福学派重要成员艾里希•弗洛姆的著名作品，自1956年出版至今已被翻译成三十二种文字，在全世界畅销不衰。
在本书中，弗洛姆认为，爱情不是一种只需投入身心的感情，而是需要努力发展自己的全部个性，以此形成一种创造倾向，否则，一切爱的尝试都是会失败的。如果没有爱他人的能力，不能谦恭、勇敢、真诚、自制地爱他人，就不可能得到满意的爱。
弗洛姆进而提出，爱是一门艺术，想要掌握这门艺术的人，需要有这方面的知识并付出努力去学习。既要学习爱的理论，也要在爱的实践中学习。

Strengthen and deepen your love with a fun, ingenious program of eight life-changing conversations—on essential topics such as money, sex, and trust—from two of the world’s leading marriage researchers and clinicians.
Navigating the challenges of long-term commitment takes effort—and it just got simpler, with this empowering, step-by-step guide to communicating about the things that matter most to you and your partner. Drawing on forty years of research from their world-famous Love Lab, Dr. John Gottman and Dr. Julie Schwartz Gottman invite couples on eight fun, easy, and profoundly rewarding dates, each one focused on a make-or-break issue: trust, conflict, sex, money, family, adventure, spirituality, and dreams.
Interactive activities and prompts provide motivation to stay open, stay curious, and, most of all, stay talking to each other. And the range—from the four skills you need for intimate conversation (including Put Into Words What You Are Feeling) to tips on being honest about your needs, while also validating your partner’s own emotions—will resonate, whether you’re newly together or a longtime couple looking to fortify your bond. You will discover (or rediscover) your partner like never before—and be able to realize your hopes and dreams for the love you desire and deserve.
