A biography of Wilhelm Reich, once a pupil of Freud, who went on to discover "ozone energy", a form of energy which is said to be responsible for life and which reverses entropy. Also a well-respected psychoanalyst, he taught widely in the 1940s and 50s. He believed heightened body awareness and release of emotion to be essential for healing and his influence lives on today in Gestalt Therapy, Alexander Technique, Primal Therapy and Applied Kinesiology.

Interesting, but Selective Biography,
By Johns (London, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wilhelm Reich: The Man Who Dreamed of Tomorrow (Paperback)
I was disappointed with this book as it did not have much about Reich's work in the 1950s. There is nothing of his battles with UFOs, nor of his dealings with Project Blue Book chief Edward Ruppelt (see chapter 15, The Radiation Story, of Ruppelt's Report on UFOs), there's nothing about his orgone energy motor. Of Cosmic Superimposition the authors mention about how Reich used his cloudbuster to alter the path of a hurricane, but then frustratingly state, "We don't have the space here to discuss this book." There's nothing about how his final book vanished from his cell following his death two days before his parole hearing.
However, it covers his early life quite well. It has a foreword by Eva Reich so she presumably liked it. Reich was influenced by da Vinci, Goethe, Tesla and Freud. The book reveals his frustrations and impatience with psychoanalysis and reveals how he vented his "quick and furious temper" on those closest to him. It does a good job on showing how he brought at least some of his troubles and legal disputes upon himself.
