Summary
Details

"This is a human, not a scientific document. It was written in the summer of 1946 for the Archives of the Orgone Institute, although there are indications in the Archives that the manuscript evolved between 1943 and 1946. At the time Reich had no intention of publishing it. This work reflects the inner turmoil of a research physician and scientist who had observed the little man for many years and seen, first with astonishment and then with horror, what he does to himself.

Reich's appeal to the little, average man was a silent response to the gossip and slander that plagued his career. His decision to publish this manuscript was made in 1947 during a concerted effort by various professional organizations and the U.S.. Food and Drug Administration to destroy orgone energy research-not to prove it unsound, but to destroy it by defamation. Reich's sharp criticism combines with an abiding confidence in the ""tremendous unmined treasures"" that lie in the depths of human nature, ready to be utilized for the fulfillment of human hopes.

Listen, Little Man! is illustrated with expressive drawings from cartoonist and author William Steig, a friend and supporter of Reich's, best known today as the author of Shrek, upon which the hit films were based."
