Evidently this book has been around for about 4 years, but I didn't know about it. It was revised and republished this year. Here are some excerpts. I love it.
"Objective: To explore the secrets of becoming a wildly disciplined, fiercely tender, ironically sincere, scrupulously curious, aggressively sensitive, blasphemously reverent, lyrically logical, lustfully compassionate Master of Rowdy Bliss."
"Mythical Role Models: Prometheus and Pronoia. In Greek mythology, Pronoia was the consort of Prometheus, the Divine rebel who pilfered a glowing coal from his fellow gods so that he could slip the git of fire to humans."
"Top-secret Allies: Sacred janitors, benevolent pranksters, apathy debunkers, lyrical logicians, ethical outlaws, aspiring masters of curiosity, homeless millionaires, humble megalomaniacs, hedonistic midwives, and socialist libertarians who possess inside information about the big bang."

[Ah! Yes Yes!! The consort of Prometheus! Surpressed and ignored all these years! Yes! Woman is an essential co-conspiritor in this tremendous and radiant task of light bringing!]

[All aboard! Somebody bring the Cheetos and the holy water...]
