The Soul of Money: Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Life

by Lynne Twist, Jack Canfield (Foreword by)

Overview

"A life-changing read. With warmth, honesty, and storytelling, Lynne turns everything we think we know about money upside down…It's the book we all need right now." —Brené Brown, Ph.D., author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Rising Strong

This liberating book shows us that examining our attitudes toward money—earning it, spending it, and giving it away—offers surprising insight into our lives. Through personal stories and practical advice, Lynne Twist asks us to discover our relationship with money, understand how we use it, and by assessing our core human values, align our relationship with it to our desired goals. In doing so, we can transform our lives.

The Soul of Money now includes a foreword from Jack Canfield and a new introduction by Lynne Twist, in which she explores the effects of the Great Recession and environmental concerns about our monetary needs and aims.

Editorial Reviews

"With her gentle, generous, and wise approach to a difficult topic, Lynne guided me through a personal transformation of how I think about money, how I handle money, and what money represents."

Iyanla Vanzant

"The Soul of Money is an inspired and utterly fascinating book. It will change the way you think about money."

Jane Goodall

"To anyone who wants to transform their lives and the world, I give this book my highest recommendation."

Deepak Chopra

An international activist and fund-raiser, Twist urges readers to discover a path to personal and financial freedom by confronting issues that each of us has regarding money. Using the vehicles of personal stories and practical advice, she explains how we can live fully and joyfully by learning to understand and embrace the flow of money through our lives. After examining their relationship with money, readers will often be able to transform and enrich all aspects of their lives. Twist developed her ideas after encountering the richest and poorest, the famous and the anonymous, while fund-raising in her charity work. Sample chapters include "Scarcity: The Great Lie," "The Power of Conservation," and "Creating a Legacy of Enough," and a list of organizations with addresses and URLs concludes the volume. Twist's New Age slant may put off readers accustomed to a less spiritual approach to personal finance, but others may find that she effectively addresses a basic ambivalence toward money that has been holding them back. Though this is an optional purchase for academic collections, most public libraries will want to add. [The Library of Congress catalogs this book under "money-psychological effects."-Ed.]-Susan C.
