Human beings are selfish, small-minded, violence-prone savages,
civilization is a blight on the earth, and the rising tide of chaos
ensures that everything's 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.".
