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.
