About this item

"A book for everyone who wants to make the world a better place." -- Jane Goodall This 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. Through personal stories and practical advice, activist Lynne Twist asks us to step back, to examine our relationship with money, to assess our connection with core human values, and to change this relationship and, in so doing, to reshape our lives. Her new introduction explores the effects of the Great Recession, the upsurge in awareness of excessive inequality, and the move from charity giving to partnership funding.
