Product Description
B"An inspired, utterly fascinating book#133;.A book for everyone who would like to make the world a better place."#151;Jane Goodall/BBRBRThis unique and fundamentally liberating book shows us that examining our attitudes toward money#151;earning it, spending it, and giving it away#151;can offer surprising insight into our lives, our values, and the essence of prosperity.BRBRLynne Twist, a global activist and fundraiser, has raised more than $150 million for charitable causes. Through personal stories and practical advice, she demonstrates how we can replace feelings of scarcity, guilt, and burden with experiences of sufficiency, freedom, and purpose. In this Nautilus Award-winning book, Twist shares from her own life, a journey illuminated by remarkable encounters with the richest and poorest, from the famous (Mother Teresa and the Dalai Lama) to the anonymous but unforgettable heroes of everyday life.

5 out of 5 stars Being Authentic; Enjoying a Life of Meaning; Making a Difference   October 20, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Are you in a life long struggle between money and the calling of your soul? Is money at odds with your most deeply held values, commitments, and ideals? Do you have an inner hunger to be authentic, to have a life of meaning, a life in which you can make a difference? If yes, then Lynne Twist's "The Soul of Money: Reclaiming the Wealth of Our Inner Resources" was written for you. As Deepak Chopra notes, "To anyone who wants to transform their lives and the world, I give this book my highest recommendation." br /br /Author Twist has found that there are striking commonalities across cultures in our basic human relationship with money and the way that relationship governs, dominates, and stresses our lives. In each culture, Twist has seen the powerful grip that money has on our lives, the wounds and hardship that it can impose, and the immense healing power of even the smallest amount of money when we use it to express our humanity - our highest ideals and our most soulful commitments and values.br / br /"The Soul of Money" offers a way to "realign our relationship with money to be more truthful, free, and potent, enabling us to live a life of integrity and full self-expression consistent with our deepest core values, no matter what our financial circumstances. The book is not about turning away from money or simplifying expenditures, or doing budgets or financial planning, although the wisdom gained will be relevant to all those activities. This book is about living consciously, fully, and joyfully in our relationship with money, and learning to understand and embrace its flow. It is about using the unexamined portal of our relationship with money to deliver a widespread transformation in all aspects of our lives." br /br /


5 out of 5 stars Inspiring and thought provoking!   June 20, 2008
Lynne Twist challenges us to think about our culture of scarcity and "more is better" and the impact that has on our lives and our environment. She challenges us to evaluate the self-imposed value we place on money, the impact on our happiness and the power in using money in an intentional way to align with our values and life purpose. This book can be transformative if the reader approaches reading it with that possibility in mind. Highly recommended!

We as consumers are brainwashed into thinking we need more to be of value. This book brought to light the many ways we devalue ourselves and our gifts. I appreciate that Ms. Twist has given the tools to reformat our thoughts on this critical subject. Willetta S BaCote
