Through personal stories and practical advice, global activist Lynn Twist shows us how we can replace the experience of fulfillment, freedom, and purpose with the feelings of scarcity, guilt, and burden that have long weighed on our hearts. Twist takes a candid and critical look at the extraordinary power that money has on our lives, and its profound and devastating impact often on our self-image and relationships.In a consumer society that glorifies deals, sales, and an insatiable thirst for more as a measure of human worth, this book suggests that we take a step back, examine our relationship with money, assess our commitment to core human values, and change that relationship. In doing so, we correct our lives.
