About this listen
Modello is an inspirational true story from beginning to end of how Dr. Roger Mills and staff accomplished the "miracle" in the Modello and Homestead Gardens Housing Projects, applying the Three Principles/Health Realization approach based on an innovative spiritual psychology.
Through extensive interviews with residents as well as Dr. Mills, his staff, and other professionals, a compelling and moving portrait is painted of how two low-income, inner-city housing projects replete with violence, crack, drug gangs, abuse, welfare dependency and hopelessness were completely turned around within two-and-a-half years. This book shows how people who lived in the most dire circumstances and on whom society has virtually given up were reached, came to find hope, and completely changed their lives. It is also a sociological study, showing how a new and different inside-out paradigm, which on the surface seems too simplistic and backward to work in such overwhelming conditions, can produce inconceivable results and create changes in people’s lives that stand head and shoulders above results from the traditional outside-in paradigm in prevention, human services, social work, community development, and education. This has vast implications for improving humanity’s social ills.

This audiobook is about how we all have a state of perfect mental health and wisdom inside us that can only be covered up by our own thinking and how our use of our power of thought creates the "reality" we see, out of which we then think, feel, and act. Here are 10 simple but profound truths for living well, arising from three spiritual facts that once grasped or truly realized can transform one's life.

Defying description, this captivating, profound audiobook has been depicted as part self-help manual, and part spiritual autobiography. The author uses his own life experiences and those of his clients in a revealing, raw, and honest manner. He contrasts the difference between the peace, love, joy, and wisdom that occurs when these principles are realized in one's life, and the suffering that occurs when this understanding remains unrealized or forgotten.

There is a space within you where you are already perfect, whole, and complete. It is pure consciousness - the space inside of which all thoughts come and go. When you rest in the feeling of this space, the warmth of it heals your mind and body. When you operate from the infinite creative potential of this space, you produce high levels of performance and creative flow. When you sit in the openness of this space with others, you experience a level of connection and intimacy that is breathtakingly enjoyable and filled with love.

Nothing Is Missing is a “sparkling and impassioned story” (Glamour) of what it takes to show up for yourself—and the joy that can come once you do. Raised in a home where food was unstable and anger was the norm, Nicole learned that she needed to take charge of her own safety and security. So she did: She got into an elite private school by talking to a stranger in her dad’s cab, she strategized her way onto Wheel of Fortune to pay for college, she adopted three girls after meeting their mother panhandling, she quit her job to launch her own business, and she struggled.

And yet, out of that pain came renewed purpose and meaning.

Being “shook” is more than a rap lyric for Charlamagne; it’s his mission to overcome. While it may seem like he is ahead of the game and should have nothing to worry about, he is still plagued by anxieties - fear of being weak; fear of being a bad dad; fear of being a worse husband; and, ultimately, fear of failure. Shook One chronicles his journey to beat back those fears and empowers you to no longer be held back from your potential.

Story
"Be yourself" they said. "I want to be" I said. "But who am I?" Have you ever noticed that what you think about who you are, how you should be, how well you are doing changes? This is because our idea of who we are is created in thought and it is the nature of thought to change. Looking at this more clearly takes us on a breath-taking exploration into what is real about us...The first part of Real looks at everything that cannot be true about who we are. The second part explores what remains when our thought-created idea of self dissolves.

A love story for human kind.
I thought this was a beautiful story about acceptance in yourself and others. We are all in this life together. We are all the same. We all have feelings. Recognize the good in people; especially when they behave poorly. Be gentle with yourself and with others. Our mistakes, regrets, bad behavior and experiences do not define us or others. Lead by example not judgement. Lead with acceptance, care, and listening. This book made me aware of my own thinking, my own resentment and my own actions. This book helped me to recognize that I can take responsibility for myself, my happiness and what I want to contribute to others. I enjoyed this book on many levels that I can’t explain. It’s beautiful.

Healing from the Inside Out
To think about changing something is hard but if you start with one thing those steps aren't so crashing. What is one thing you can do working towards the bigger picture? This was a great recharge for my mindset. I had read this years ago in an undergrad class with Diane McMillan at Washburn. Love Jack Pransky!

Finding Your Innate Resilience
If you are experiencing challenges or turmoil in your life, you may not believe that peace and happiness are just one thought away.
This book recounts some truly dark real-life situations and how the people in those situations learned how to use the power of their own thoughts to turn their lives around.
The stories of those peoples’ lives will inspire you. Maybe , if you listen for the feelings beneath the words, you will understand that peace and happiness are readily available to you… even in the midst of life’s challenges.
