Chronicle Toward Books Listen, Little Man!
Listen, Little Man! is a great physician's quiet talk to each one of us, the average human being, the Little Man. Written in 1946 in answer to the gossip and defamation that plagued his remarkable career, it tells how Reich watched, at first naively, then with amazement, and finally with horror, at what the Little Man does to himself; how he suffers and rebels; how he esteems his enemies and murders his friends; how, wherever he gains power as a "representative of the people," he misuses this power and makes it crueler than the power it has supplanted.Reich has us to look honestly at ourselves and to assume responsibility for our lives and for the great untapped potential that lies in the depth of human nature.

Listen! Great book by this often neglected thinker!This book is good, in that it puts stupidity in its place. It provides a good view of how our selves are the greatest obstructions to our own progress and well-being. It points out the smallness that hides in all of us, with the hope that by being aware of it, we might be able to transcend it. I agree with Reich that his research should not be judged on a moral reactive basis, but with sound reasoning. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how much sound reasoning has ever been invested into Reichian
Unexpected!! Woow!!An Adam's Apple!! The exact word to describe this book. It's like some spiritual conversation from a scene of Quentin Tarantino directional movie.This book is naturally wacky to read.It shakes up a ordinary man who has an (hidden) inferiority complex. This is a very small book which I would strongly recommend everyone to read to know themselves truly and stand up courageously for themselves against odds.

Simply powerful
I have discovered the laws of living energyyour cosmic essence. Written in the mid-40s, this is one long stream of narcissistic rant by Reich, complemented with cartoony illustrations by William Steig (creator of Shrek!) that undermine the seriousness (or seriously deluded) tone of Reichs legal situation. Paranoid and resentful, he sees the little man out to get him in particular, and the genius/great man in general. By this time he was living in Maine, claiming to have discovered the cure for
Under the pretext of showing the Little Man, the Common, Petty Man the error of living trivially, Wilhelm Reich has written an incoherent portrait of a society that persecutes the enlightened, or Great Man in an attempt to defend the legitimacy of his much-criticized "research." He comes from a position of hatred for the contents of the minds of most men and claims to have complete separation from it, then offers the reader the same like an egomaniacal door-to-door salesman. It gets clear as the
