Recommendation

Asserting that money must connect to your soul, activist Lynne Twist seeks the truth of her relationship with “scarcity” and “sufficiency” in a series of encounters with people at the extremes of poverty, wealth, fame and anonymity. She finds inspiration and resistance in the scenarios she shares from her 50 years as a global activist and a fundraiser for the Hunger Project. Twist grounds her discovery in social theory and personal observations. Fundraising professionals, nonprofit managers or social entrepreneurs will enjoy her varied experiences and will likely emerge rightly feeling virtuous, enlightened and impassioned to address the social ills that money can ease. getAbstract recommends Twist’s insights to activists, students and professors, NGO personnel, philanthropists and policy-makers who will appreciate her insights about making money mean more.

Take-Aways

  • People’s misunderstanding of money tyrannizes them. Collectively, this misunderstanding undermines the altruism and beliefs that sustain humanity.
  • Rethinking money in terms of the “soul” corrects this dysfunction.
  • “Scarcity” and “sufficiency” are opposing mental constructs for understanding money.
