In the transformative pages of "The Soul of Money," Lynne Twist, renowned global activist and fundraiser, embarks on a profound exploration of our relationship with money, revealing how this seemingly mundane tool shapes our perceptions of success, scarcity, and abundance. With the wisdom gleaned from raising over $150 million for charitable causes, Twist invites readers on a journey to redefine prosperity, urging a shift from the relentless pursuit of wealth to a life enriched with purpose and aligned with our deepest values. Through riveting personal anecdotes and encounters with figures as diverse as Mother Teresa and the Dalai Lama to the unsung heroes of everyday life, Twist illuminates the path toward financial liberation and genuine fulfillment. This Nautilus Award-winning masterpiece delves deep into the heart of our financial dilemmas, unearthing the root causes of our collective anxieties around money. By challenging us to confront our own assumptions and attitudes towards earning, spending, and giving, Twist offers not just insight but a radical perspective shift, proposing a model of money management that emphasizes sufficiency, freedom, and generosity over scarcity and fear. "The Soul of Money" is not merely a book about finance; it is a gateway to a more compassionate and abundant way of living, inviting us to transform our relationship with money into a source of joy and a means for achieving our most cherished goals.

For me, and for many of us, our first waking thought of the day is "I didnt get enough sleep." The next one is "I don't have enough time." Whether true or not, that thought of not enough occurs to us automatically before we even think to question or examine it. We spend most of the hours and the days of our lives hearing, explaining, complaining, or worrying about what we don't have enough of... Before we even sit up in bed, before our feet touch the floor, we're already inadequate, already behind, already losing, already lacking something. And by the time we go to bed at night, our minds are racing with a litany of what we didn't get, or didn't get done, that day. We go to sleep burdened by those thoughts and wake up to that reverie of lack... This internal condition of scarcity, this mind-set of scarcity, lives at the very heart of our jealousies, our greed, our prejudice, and our arguments with life
