Lynne Twist on Prosperity and Beyond

Why is it that no matter how much money we have, it never seems to be enough? The way we feel and deal with money is deeply influenced by the society we live in — we are constantly encouraged and conditioned to believe that we need more than what we already have. This never-enough mentality affects most of the things we do and think about in life: our relationships, our choices, even our dreams. As a consequence, the prevailing sense of scarcity — triggered every time we think of money — colors our outlook on everything else. Possibilities feel limited. Priorities get confused. Prosperity seems always just out of reach.

Lynne Twist shares with us that by carefully managing our relationship with money, we can move from a vision of scarcity to one of sufficiency and enough. This leads to a sense of empowerment and, ultimately, to a more productive, meaningful, and satisfying life.

Lynne Twist is a global activist and fundraiser who has been responsible for raising more than $150 million in individual contributions for charitable causes. Her book is called The Soul of Money: Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Life.
