About This Novel
I can say: "If I can get all the happiness I want, I will be happy." I can also say: "If I achieve the best self-improvement, I will be happy." - Erich Fromm The first part of "The Art of Existence" clarifies the nature of the two modes of existence, possession and existence. The dominant results of these two modes of existence are for the well-being of mankind. The comprehensive humanization of human beings needs to break through from possession-centered to activity-centered, from selfishness and self-centeredness to solidarity and altruism. The second part of the book offers some practical suggestions that may help humanize the world. To start discussing the art practice of life, we first need to think about what is the goal of life? What is the meaning of human life?
