This book is a counterpart to the classic The Art of Loving.
The love of life, independence, and the overcoming of narcissism form a syndrome of growth against a syndrome of decay formed by love of death and malignant narcissism..
Whereas the topic of non-love fills most of these pages, the problem of love is taken up in a new and broader sense, namely, the love of life.
Whereas the main topic there was man\'s capacity to love, the main topic here is his capacity to destroy, his narcissism, and his incestuous fixations.
