Modello

by Jack Pransky

From the Forward by Bonnie Bernard What you are about to read is a remarkable story. This story, indeed, shows us the "grand nature and infinite possibilities" living within every person - even those society would rather forget, blame or write off. the story of Modello, however, is a story of hope, a story of what can happen when people realize their innate resilience - the power they possess to transform and change their lives. Ulitmately, the story of Modello and the Homestead Gardens demonstrates that health realization offers the best prevention, education, and intervention fields - the best examples for how resilience operates. The story told so eloquently here shows us how simple and commonsensical are solutions to even seemingly intractable problems. In these times when many people are feeling a growing sense of powerlessness to change society, Modello demonstrates that social change is an inside-out process. It starts with each our hearts and minds, with our thoughts about each other. Jack Pransky, director of the NorthEast Health Realization Institute, is an internationally recognized prevention consultant and writer.

“It's always amazed me how much little children are natural learners, and how learning becomes aversive when they get into the formal educational system.”

Modello: A Story of Hope for the Inner City and Beyond is an invitation to redefine learning, empower our communities and to transforms humanity.

It shows us the power and importance of The Three Principles of Mind, Consciousness, and Thought. I love Dr. Pransky’s message! His work illuminates a path that we can all choose to take and change our collective reality.

This is a book for anyone who carries the sincere desire to make a difference.
It was a wonderful experience to have had a conversation with Dr. Jack Pransky during a podcast interview! His inspiring presence, timeless wisdom and clarity reflected his commitment to changing lives!

Eye Opener

Why do we make life so complicated? No-one forces us to react to situations in the way we do, we can choose to feel or react a certain way. Reading this book is a real eye opener. Recommended reading.

A super interesting practical look at how an individualized approach to systemic problems, can make a big difference. This approach looks and individualization and deep listening to the needs of a person, as well as giving a person life skills that are not always acquired in childhood.

Interesting topic, oddly written, rather disjointed.
