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 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.

There seems to be a few missing/incorrect words from the above source, but it's worth a read.

There is a large pdf out there but it was slow to load for me and looks like it is incomplete.

That's the book description I copied, so take from it what you will!

He makes some statements that go outside the bounds of Ron, heh.

Josh, you should include a few Wilhelm Reich links for reference. It was a post by you that set me on my learning path there.
