Editor's Note:
The Passionate Life is a needed, well-written, and mostly engaging slap in the face of the 'playboy philosophy'; its trivialization of the erotic, and its nearly exclusive emphasis on sexual proficiency as the definition of love.--From back cover:"In freewheeling, philosophical, colloquial style, this wise and beautiful essay breathes new life into our thinking about love and sexuality. Sam Keen wants us to regard eros as an impulse or energy that links us to the whole web of life rather than a strictly sexual-romantic thing. Keen constructs a profound meditation on the dynamics of loving." --Publisher's Weekly"An outline of an erotic developmental psychology [that] integrates insights on sex, spirituality, and social criticism in a genuinely provocative way." --Library Journal"Keen's goal is to recover 'a healthy passion'...His method is to construct a 'life-map' that traces transformations of love through the course of a lifetime...The course he charts touches upon the 'philosophy of life' and psychological orientation characteristics of each stage, defines the barriers that must be overcome in order to progress to higher levels, and details attitudes necessary from one stage to the next...The Passionate Life is a needed, well-written, and most engaging slap in the face of the 'Playboy philosophy,' its trivialization of the erotic, and its nearly exclusive emphasis on sexual proficiency as the definition of love." --Best Sellers
