Soul of Money: Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Life » (1ST)

"An inspired, utterly fascinating book….A book for everyone who would like to make the world a better place."—Jane Goodall

Library Journal

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.
