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.

We don’t have to work hard for happiness. We are made of it. The reason this spiritual truth is elusive is because of one very important gift that we possess: the gift of thought. It turns out that instead of feeling the beauty of our true nature, most of the time we are feeling our thinking about our personal lives.

The Secret of Love is a compilation of amazing stories from couples whose relationships improved or completely turned around just by being pointed within, toward their true nature. These couples began to see how they were contributing to their problems from insights gained as they were learning. They saw how they could work with the force of nature, rather than against it. The inspiration for the book came from “Thought and Marriage” by the late Sydney Banks, the person who uncovered the Three Principles that create everyone’s experience of life.

E. M. Forster's first novel is a witty comedy of manners that is tinged with tragedy. It tells the story of Lilia Herriton, who proves to be an embarrassment to her late husband's family as, in the small Tuscan town of Monteriano, she begins a relationship with a much younger Italian man - classless, uncouth, and highly unsuitable. A subtle attack on Edwardian values and a humanely sympathetic portrayal of the clash of two cultures, Where Angels Fear to Tread is also a profound exploration of character and virtue.

Publisher's summary
Liza, an orphan girl living on the cold streets of London in 1834, is able to rise above her squalid surroundings to bring joy to the lives of others. Although only 11, she displays amazing courage as she cares for a younger child and ekes out a bare existence through the approaching winter, guided by the wisdom embodied in letters left to her by her mother. When Liza meets a wealthy gentleman, her mysterious, almost magical manner causes him to re-examine his own life.
Over time, he and others around him are transformed as they begin to understand the depth of Liza’s insight. Sydney Banks’s simple, inspiring tale illuminates how love and compassion can bring peace and contentment to people of all ages and from all walks of life.

Immediately following the success of Little Women, Louisa May Alcott sat down to write An-Old Fashioned Girl, expanding on the subject of rich versus poor that she explored in her first novel. It’s a story of a country mouse and a city mouse: 14-year-old Polly Milton travels to Boston for a stay with her friend Fanny Shaw. The wealthy Shaws’ way of life is foreign to Polly who tries to adapt but is quickly labeled “old-fashioned”. Fanny and her friends dress and behave as their elders do, flirting with boys and gossiping.

Set in the early postwar years, it probes the destructive effects of war and the transition from a feudal Japan to an industrial society. Ozamu Dazai died, a suicide, in 1948. But the influence of his book has made "people of the setting sun" a permanent part of the Japanese language, and his heroine, Kazuko, a young aristocrat who deliberately abandons her class, a symbol of the anomie which pervades so much of the modern world.

On a beautiful spring day, Julia Harburn sat on a seat in Kensington Gardens enjoying the sunshine. She was wearing a white frock and a large straw hat with a sapphire-blue ribbon which exactly matched her eyes - a strange coincidence, as it turned out, for the blue sapphire was to have a far-reaching influence upon her life. So far, her life had been somewhat dull and circumscribed; but quite suddenly her horizons were enlarged. She began to make new friends.

Comforting, inspiring, and loving.
I love how each character in this story is touched by Liza and her life story. They become appreciative for what they have instead of looking down on others for having less. They gain a deep understanding of value for humanity, far beyond possessions or money. Each character evolves with gratitude and kindness found inside of themselves. It’s beautiful because that is what they contribute going forward.
Keep your thoughts pure and your heart will always be happy.
Read this book to spark appreciation for your close loved ones and your own life. Recognize the good in people; bring out the best in others with appreciation and good will.
