Pronoia Is the Antidote for Paranoia: How the Whole World Is Conspiring to Shower You with Blessings

About this book

Human beings are selfish small-minded violence-prone savages civilization is a blight on the earth and the rising tide of chaos ensures that everythings going to fall apart any day now. Right? Wrong says Rob Brezsny. In Pronoia Is the Antidote to Paranoia he declares evil is boring the universe is friendly and life is a sublime gift created for our amusement and illumination. This buoyant perspective is not rooted in denial. On the contrary Brezsny builds a case for a "cagey optimism" that does not require a repression of difficulty but rather seeks a vigorous engagement with it. The best way to attract the blessings that the world is conspiring to give us he insists is to dive into the most challenging mysteries. This witty inspiring how-to shows how any reader can become "a wildly disciplined fiercely tender . . . lustfully compassionate Master of Rowdy Bliss." The newly revised and significantly expandedby more than a hundred pagesedition of Pronoia is now available (ISBN: 978-1-55643-818-9).
