Relation In Pursuance Of 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.

a must!Actually, this would probably be a 2.75 or so, ranking-wise. If you know nothing about Wilhelm Reich, this is not the place to start. Even if you do know something about Reich, this book is still an oddity - it contains none of his early work in psychiatry (done with Freud), and only contains his later, more controversial and "fringier" ideas (that precursored the sexual revolution) as background. This book is not a "sketch it out for the layman" instruction manual, either, despite its
this is when Wilhelm Reich got tired of all the slander and public/private hatred towards him and his discoveries, coming from doctors, scientists and the general public, which was based on their distorted ideas of what he was researching and how he was researching it. this is when he ranted against the emotional plague, and the little man inside every human being. its his private attack, which was later published, to the smallness of man and his resistance of new ideas. W.Reich was incredibly
You differ from a great man in only one respect: the great man was once a very little man, but he developed one important quality: he recognized the smallness and narrowness of his thoughts and actions. Under the pressure of some task that meant a great deal to him, he learned to see how his smallness, his pettiness endangered his happiness. In other words, a great man knows when and in what way he is a little man. A little man does not know he is little and is afraid to know. He hides his
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
I did not know of Reich until perhaps a couple of weeks ago, when a dear friend suggested it to me saying that she had loved reading it. I can now understand why. In such little space, Reich has talked about human potential and possibility whilst also berating the Little Man and Woman for destroying that very potential. He knocks the Littles down, only in expectation that they will come to think, love, and live for themselves as he asks them to. I do not know how this book fits into Reich's
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.
