The Soul of Money: Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Life by Lynne Twist

2.0

I really wanted to love this book - and while there are parts that are very thought-provoking - it ended up feeling out of touch and written in another era. The concept of aligning dollars and finances is spot-on and if that’s a new concept for you or something you’re trying to integrate in your life, this is a helpful read. If you’ve already done the work of being more intentional with your dollars and are looking for a resource to help deprogram how we’ve been raised to think about our relationship with money, parts of this will be helpful. However, the good of the book got lost (for me!) in some of the anecdotes that are wrapped in privilege and mostly ignore systemic barriers that contribute to holding people and communities back.

Not a bad read, but definitely worth skimming or skipping certain parts.
