Book Club 2020 continues it's journey into the world of books, in anticipation of autumn. With just 3 more books to complete the 12 book challenge a year, this month we read a very controversial one, but more relevant than ever, again and again and again.
It's size may be small, but even that has to teach you from the beginning, that great ideas do not need elaborate books to capture them.The same can happen with people. A book that urges you to re-read it, both because each time you will assimilate something more, as well as it needs it's time to "sit" within you.
It is not necessarily a pleasant book. It is going to surprise you, to make you angry, you will want to give it up. Then it will make you stubborn, it will understand you, it will strip you naked and it will reveal you. Just like it happens with psychotherapy. Maybe because its creator was also a psychoanalyst. It can set you free, it can trouble you, or it can just give you a contradiction.
The ninth book for Book Club 2020 and the month of September that we suggest to you is "Listen, Little Man!", by Wilhelm Reich.
Living in an age where everyone is trying to find their own right and wrong, it may be an opportunity to think that we are all human. We all waver, we get afraid, we make mistakes, we get angry and we regret. In the same way that we all love, long for and unite. Maybe today, if each and every one of us takes a little time to feel his feelings, we can understand each other a little better even when we don't always agree. Maybe then the solution will be closer to us than we imagined.
