Lynne Twist

Book is eye-rollingly bad with its approach to money and the dynamics surrounding it. A philosophically pedantic and longwinded statement that can be boiled down to the simple construct of, “Money has value because we give it value.”

This was my second time reading this book. I like Lynne Twist's point that in our culture we start each day thinking we have a deficit of Time and money. this book explores rethinking your relationship with money-- making it fluid, recognizing your own abundance and working towards using your money where it will do the most good.

What is money and, more importantly, what is our emotional attachment to it? Does it bind us, free us, hinder us? Twist brings a new lens on how we think about scarcity and sufficiency, how we can apply it in our own lives and how we can change our decision-making. Despite the Polly-Anna style which has a hint of saccharine, it is a worthwhile read to recast our assumptions about wealth and riches, and how to redefine resources.
An easy and inspring read.

Not a book I really needed. I am on three non-profit boards and have invested a substantial portion of my wealth in nonprofits and particularly in Torrey House Press. I was hoping for something about encouraging people to see the rewards of giving. But this is personal and oversteps the boundary of woo for my taste.
