A must read.
Fromm mentions how modern society has become materialistic and prefers "having" to "being". He mentions the great promise of unlimited happiness, freedom, material abundance, and domination of nature. These hopes reached their highs when the industrial age began. One could feel that there would be unlimited production and hence unlimited consumption. Human beings, both men and women, started dreaming about becoming the Gods of earth, but this wasn’t really the case. The great promise failed due to the unachievable aims of life, i.e. maximum pleasure and fulfillment of every desire (radical hedonism), and the egotism, selfishness and greed of people. In the industrial age, the development of this economic system was no longer determined by the question of what is good for man, but rather of what is good for the growth of the system. So, the economic system of society served people in such a way in which only their personal interests were intended to impart. The people having unlimited needs and desires like the Roman emperors, the English and French noblemen were the people who got the most out it.
Society nowadays has completely deviated from its actual path. The materialistic nature of people of "having" has been more developed than "being". Modern industrialization has made great promises, but all these promises are developed to fulfill their interests and increase their possessions. In every mode of life, people should ponder more on "being" nature and not towards the "having" nature. This is the truth which people deny and thus people of the modern world have completely lost their inner selves. The point of being is more important as everyone is mortal, and thus having of possessions will become useless after their death, because the possessions which are transferred to the life after death, will be what the person actually was inside.
Mastery
You have to read this book if you want to become a Master in a particular subject. It is one of the best books I have ever read. The book is amazingly written."Grab your phucking nuts for once in your life. Have some ownership, some credibility behind your words and actions. Mean what you say; do what you say. Follow through for something for one time in your life. ONE TIME, one time in your life. You will feel high a you've never felt before. When you follow through with things in life guys, you achieve the confidence & mentality that anything is possible"

Kafka on the Shore- Haruki Murakami, actually anything by Murakami is fantastic, this is just my personal favorite.
The Sound and the Fury- William Faulkner, about the downfall of a once respected family in the deep south
The Stranger- Camus
The Trial- Kafka
Being and Time- Heidegger
The Brothers Karamazov- Dostoevsky
The Last of the Mohicans- Cooper, teaches us how to be a man (Uncas and his father)

Reading The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho now, amazing book. Really teaches you life lessons in a subtle but blunt way and really makes you understand them, I had a idea of what most of the things the book talked about, but it makes you truly understand the importance of them.
