The MOST FUN I've EVER had with a book...

Remember the Giant Fun Books that you'd take with you on family vacation when you were a kid? Well, this is the adult version, and it's overflowing with fun things that give you great ideas, and make you feel good, and activities to teach you exciting ways to brighten up every moment of life for you and everyone around you. This book is a MUST HAVE for everyone, any age, everywhere! Give it as a gift, or start a movement, this book is a great tool for positive change...you can open it to any page, and find just what you needed at that very moment...you can use it like an oracle, or daily meditation, or a boost of energy. It makes reality enjoyable.

the first page had me shouting YES!

I've been a huge fan of Brezny for years. When i got my hands on Pronoia, I started shouting on the very first page - as usual, he had me happy and believing life is what you make of it and oh, what a joyous life it can be if you just change your attitude and open yourself to the possibilities that life has to offer - there is a bigger, happier picture.

Not a book to read chronologically - I like cracking this one open to see what I get, though that opening chapter may actually be my absolute favorite part of the book, anyway!

I took it to a women's group I am a part of and read the first chapter as the beginning to one of our gatherings - we've taken on Rob's cheer to be wilder, wiser, kinder and trickier and made it our own. It's not a half-bad goal, really.

I like to think of this book as the "Be Here Now" of our generation.

Although somewhat unbelievable, still amazing!

I'm skeptical about a lot of claims made in this book. Nonetheless, I still find this book amazingly positive, useful, and entertaining. I've bought copies for several friends and family members.

glad I bought this

This book is ideal for those who are looking for inspiration to be more creative, loving, and happy. As soon as I got this book, I HAD to read it from cover to cover. However, the way it is laid out allows you to just dive in wherever your heart desires.
I like how the book is somehow "interactive". Plenty of room for you to jot notes, lots of suggested "challenges"...
But the book isn't just a long list of do this and don't do this.
There are quite a few interesting stories and news items here...and not the gooshy tugging heart strings stories.
Some might find this book a little silly-- but hey, silliness is a part of life! Just read the book with a grain of salt and pick out what works for you. Plenty of topics and suggestions to choose from.
I would recommend this book for people who want to be free to explore happier perspectives of the world and themselves.
When you're ready for this book, you'll know it.

good stuff

Not to be read in one sitting... to be picked up and savored when you need a sniff of fresh air... to open to a page, any page, and uncover a special spirit-lifting message. Good stuff.

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."
