On his blog, singer-songwriter JASON MRAZ talked about me and my book:

"Meet Rob Brezsny. He writes everybody's favorite astrology column, Free Will Astrology. I dig him for his powerful yet playful insights, his poetry and his humor. I recently got turned onto his book, *Pronoia is the Antidote for Paranoia.* Believing not that the world is out to get you, but rather, the world is there to GIVE you, takes you to a powerful place. His website alone can give you a lift just by smelling it. Today I salute him for his dedication to inspiration."

Go to Youtube to see Mraz talk about the concept of pronoia during one of his live shows:

Jason Mraz is one of the most famous agents of pronoia. More than any other big celebrity I know of, he's out there feeding the conspiracy to shower blessings on all of creation. In his blog (http://tinyurl.com/nxu88f), he encourages his readers to view the world as a fount of glory; he urges them to be sources of goodness and gratitude.

I'm glad to see that Mraz's song "I'm Yours" is now officially the longest running hit in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, having been there for over 70 weeks.

What does it say about the current state of reality when an intelligent optimist like Mraz has such mainstream popularity? Here's what I suspect: The media may relentlessly wallow in news about what's wrong and bad and rotting, but a lot of people are resisting that hypnotic hum as they wake up to the glorious other side of the story.
