The Soul of Money

Reclaiming the Wealth of Our Inner Resources

By: Lynne Twist

Narrated by: Cynthia Barrett

This unique and fundamentally liberating book shows us that examining our attitudes toward money - earning it, spending it, and giving it away - can offer surprising insight into our lives, our values, and the essence of prosperity.

Lynne 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.

Critic reviews

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

Helped me redefine my relationship with money.

Good book with some really great points. Sometimes it's gets a little too flowery for my taste, but it never really lost my attention.

Definitely worth listening to!

Relevant (and recommended) to everyone

I was recommended this book to learn about my relationship with money and I did learn about it, but I also learned about decision making, collaboration, resourcefulness, and the transformation human society go through in these times.

In this book, the use of language is accurate, the storytelling is interesting and ignited my imagination, and the insights of a lifetime are offered in way that's fun to read and easy to comprehend.

Thank you Lynn for this beautiful book, Cynthia for the clear and pleasant narration, and Audible for making it available in this comfortable format for a traveller like me.

A Great Book!

I really like the whole concept of this book. It will change the way you look at money. It's full of great stories of the author's adventures for her Hunger Project.
My one and only complaint is the narration.
The narrator speaks perfectly, which is the problem. Her impeccable enunciation actually can be irritatingly annoying. Nobody speaks like that. It's very impressive that she commands such perfect enunciation, however, it makes for a less than enjoyable listening experience. The narration shouldn't even be noticeable when listening to an audiobook.

very moving and inspiring and right on the money

a must-read for anyone whose life is to be rooted in core human values. highly recommend.

One of the Best, Most Important Books I Have Ever Read

Powerful, transformative and inspiring. A whole new context for the role of money in my life - as a means of expression of who I am, rather than a constant shortage or a thing whose ideal outcome is just more and more accumulation.
