Rethinking Humanity

Are Fromm's two primary modes of existence present in religious literature? We discuss what he describes seeing in the old and new testaments, share a little about each of our own religious backgrounds, discuss personal experiences around COVID-19, and why Lacey only has use of one hand lately. Opening quote by Iyanla Vanzant. Opening & closing quotes read by Richard Berry.

In this episode, we dive into concrete examples of orienting from the having mode of existence and the being mode of existence. We look at the differences in the areas of learning, leadership, conversing and love. We open and close with clips of Erich Fromm speaking on these themes in an interview he did with Haywood Hale Broun in 1977 on his book To Have or To Be.  

We open with some discussion on current events - George Floyd murder, riots & looting, and the ongoing COVID-19 crisis.

In this bonus episode, we discuss the current events plaguing our country today and this week, including the murder of George Floyd, the ensuing riots and looting in Minneapolis, and other racist events that took place the week of May 25.  Additionally, how COVID-19 and the difficulties around it has played a role in this time.

In Episode 3, we lead in with quotes from chapter 1 of Erich Fromm's book To Have or To Be, which describe differences between the two modes of existence: The Having Mode and The Being Mode. We give a positive #COVID-19 update, as well as dive into more in-depth description and discussion around the two different modes of being.  We present two poems which describe each mode. We do a shallow dive into evidence of the dominance of the having mode of existence, as it appears in our language and commonly used phrases. We discuss later the characteristics of being, and our friend Richard shares a special story with us to end the podcast.  We hope you enjoy!

In Episode 2 of Rethinking Humanity, we continue to share our experiences around the COVID-19 lockdown circumstances, use the outline of the Introduction of Fromm's To Have or To Be to frame the discussion and take a shallow dive into the relationship between happiness and money. Well being is brought into the mix as well, as a comparison, and a complement, to happiness. We share some wonderful comments about the first episode from social media as well, and give a preview of what is to come in Epi 3. Some adult language is used.
Books mentioned: To Have or To Be by Erich Fromm. The Little Book of Lykke by Meik Wiking. Man for Himself by Erich Fromm.

In our first bit of bonus content, we share our thanks to everyone for the positive feedback we've received on the first episode, as well as some data on who has been listening. We get real on the quarantine life as single people living alone, and share some quotes that made us think. And some wonderful listener feedback rounds out the little bit of extra we wanted to give you all in this piece of bonus content.
Quotes:
"It may be that when we no longer know what we have to do, we have come to our real work. And that when we no longer know which way to go, we have begun our real journey." - Wendall Bery
"Man's main task in life is to give birth to himself." -Erich Fromm
 Just about 15 minutes to tide you over until the next episode is released ;)
