Happiness Moment

A new word has just been coined by Rob Brezsny from 'Free Will Astrology' as quoted in the Sun, Nov. 2005. It is a noun which is described as the philosophy that the world is conspiring to shower one with blessings. The word is pronoia, the antidote of paranoia. Pronoiacs eschew cynicism. Many of us might do well to do the same.

Along this line, it is noted in the latest Utne Magazine, that the University of Pennsylvania has begun a degree program in applied positive psychology. If you might be interested in this mental health program as a possible career, go to www.authentichappiness.org, and take a questionaire or two and see whether or not it is for you. Sounds like a way to be in on the ground floor of a brand new line of work.
