I’ll tell you a key reason why I wrote the book:

YOU NEED MAGIC AND DELIGHT EVERY DAY.

Every day, you wade through a relentless surge of soul-less facts. The experience tends to shut down your sense of wonder.

Every day, you're over-exposed to cynical narratives that have been sucked free of delight and mystery. That's why you have to make such strenuous efforts to keep your world enchanted.

I want to enlist you in a conspiracy to champion the sacred cause of feeding our sense of wonder and enchantment.

 



Here’s an excerpt from ASTROLOGY IS REAL

What are the most liberating thoughts you’ve ever had?

Possible answers:

• “If new evidence presents itself, it’s okay to change my beliefs.”

• “I get to choose who’s in my life and who isn’t.”

• “I am not my history.”

• “I can’t change something that has already happened, so I will stop worrying about it.”

• “I am not, nor will I ever be, conventionally beautiful.”

• “I don’t have to respond to people when they say stupid shit to me.”

• “I am not responsible for the happiness of others.”

• “I can choose the most uplifting interpretation of disturbing events.”

• “Life is an ever-changing experiment and infinite game. There is no single right way to live.”

• “Wow, I was totally wrong!”

• “What other people think about me is none of my business.”

• “To be alive in this moment is the only thing I really have to do.”

• “Nobody else cares what I look like while I’m doing this thing I enjoy.”

• “I can change the way I want to engage with the world whenever I want to.”

• “I will not continue working for an unethical or hostile boss. I will only work for people who are generous and kind.”

• “The world is not mostly about me.”

• “I am allowed to change my mind.”

• “We cannot live in a world that is interpreted for us by others. An interpreted world is not a home. Part of the terror is to take back our own listening. To use our own voice. To see our own light.” (Elaine Bellezza said this.)

• “I am not obligated to play the character someone else has cast me as in their personal screenplay.”

• “What I feed will grow.”

• “I could be mistaken.”

• “Nothing ever happens the same way twice.”

• “People will show me who they are if I am paying attention.”

• “If I’m facing a seemingly impossible dilemma, it may mean both options are wrong.”

• “Boredom is a lack of imagination.”

• “I don’t understand.”

• “It is OK to be a legend in my own mind.”

• “Thoughts are not facts.”

• “My deepest, truest self underlies and predates the personality that I acquired in early childhood.”

• “I can’t get what I want if I don’t ask for it.”

• “I’m not responsible for how people respond when I’m standing up for myself and my health.”

• “I won’t compare my insides to other people’s outsides.”

• “I never signed a contract saying I would always be a nice person.”

• “If I don’t like who I am, I can change whenever I want.”

• “I am not responsible for the version of me that you created in your mind.”

• “I did the best I could do with what I knew at the time.”

• “Gratitude nullifies fear.”





5-star reviews are beginning to appear for my new book. Below are two:

"Wildly generous ring of keys for all the sullen and rowdy prisoners.

"Just opened the Kindle version of ASTROLOGY IS REAL, clicked on a random title on the contents page and there was a startling, instant oracle. I sat up a little straighter, did it again, and again — and again. I had to come back to this page and say thank you.

"I am so grateful for this trickster being of light offering a lifetime of his original medicine to bring all the sullen and rowdy prisoners in us back to a joyful, balanced life.

"A treasure box of exuberant wisdom filled with enticements to open our eyes to the beauty, magic and possibility that is always here, holding hands with the dark."

"A shot of undiluted wonder for your soul.

"As always, it is impossible to walk away from anything Rob Brezsny writes without feeling inspired and uplifted. His latest work reveals his heartfelt mission to give us regular doses of relevant revelations that reconnect us with our sense of awe and wonder to be alive.

"This medicine is the antidote to dominant messages of doom and gloom. It is only possible to "save the world" if we re-MEMBER our joy at our interconnectedness and that being alive is a truly extraordinary adventure!"
