The Soul of Money

Lynne Twist

About this book

Lynne Twist argues that the toxic myths of scarcity — 'there's not enough', 'more is better', 'that's just the way it is' — drive both personal anxiety and global injustice. She offers a path to sufficiency, gratitude, and aligned use of resources.

Key themes

  • The three lies of scarcity and the truth of sufficiency
  • How our relationship with money reflects our relationship with ourselves
  • The distinction between charity (giving from guilt) and philanthropy (giving from abundance)
  • Examples of people who transformed their relationship with money and found meaning
  • Practices for bringing awareness and intention to financial decisions
