The Soul of Money: Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Life by Lynne Twist
4.0
"This stuff called money, mass-produced tokens or paper bills with no more inherent power than a notepad or a Kleenex, has become the single most controlling force in our lives." ~Lynne Twist
I first learned this in an anthropology class, when the professor challenged, "Name something that our society deems valuable but has no inherit value itself." Money is a social construct. I was stunned.
Yet I never thought of the all-encompassing power we give money over our lives until reading this book. Or that we can give money a "soul" by how we use it and think about it. The difference between net-worth and self-worth is vast. An eye-opening book.
