Great gift!        Rating:

I'm so tired of the products promoting "make money at all costs" and "get rich quick" schemes. This was so refreshing. Lynne Twist understands that money is simply a concept and therefore can't be scarce. She reminds us that it's our attitude toward money, need and things that is often holding us back in our lives. There's enough for all of us if we learn to balance...worldwide.

Unleashing the Soul of Money        Rating:

The author expressed her personal convictions with strengh, backed up with her life experiences. The presentations in part one and part 3 were thought provoking. Part 2 and part 4 were more meditative applications and not very applicable as one listened to the CD in the car or other than full attention situations.

maybe the only thing we need to be listening to right now.......        Rating:

This CD rides with me every where I go. Instead of listening to negative financial news, I listen to Lynne Twist. If you want a clear picture about money, what it really is, how it got misaligned and turned to greed and hoarding, this is the CD, or her book, The Soul of Money, to latch on to. I have listened and read this book, gifted many friends with both, and lead workshops based on her knowledge and experience with money. I started reading her work 5 years ago and every time I go back to Lynne Twist my life changes. If you want to learn about true economics, not pie charts, analytical statistics, or money management but to get to core level, do not pass go. Gift you and yours with this CD and ride to work with the idea of sufficiency, not fear of lack and scarcity.

"Exquisite Enoughness"        Rating:

I had not heard "Enough" being touted as exquisite or for that matter something for which to strive. We're constantly focused on "ABUNDANCE" - how to "get it", feel it, master it, believe it, go for it, etc.
Endless books, tapes, workshops, programs, inspirational teachers et al professing abundance is all around us - it's our birthright and ours for the taking. Manifest it, believe we deserve it, feel it happening and so forth. You know the deal... we've all been "trying" to get there, through visualization, affirmations, spending thousands of dollars, knocking our brains together, beating ourselves up when we still aren't any closer to the whole "abundant concept".
I don't want to sound like the billion other hypes that insist their book or CD series or workshop is THE one that will make a difference in your thinking, your relationships, really stand your life on end and change you forever. Yet, I don't want you to pass up this audio CD set or book. Lynne Twist knows what she's talking about with this "enough" business. As she says, abundance is the flip side of scarcity thinking, meaning it's just as negative and we don't need to go there. There is enough on our planet (whether you believe it or not) for each one of us to live a healthy, productive and happy life. Enough is a belief in ourselves, it's a simpler way to live, to focus on what we actually have in our lives and appreciate it, instead of flying past enough, not even seeing it, trying to get more, more and still more. The great scarcity myths: "there isn't enough", "more is better" and "that's just the way it is."
She captured my attention with her first few words... and when she said the fastest growing industry in our country is "storage units" - that we're building whole enclaves of storage facilities (to house the overflow of our "stuff") - instead of building homes for our millions of homeless citizens, she won my heart! I coach homeless people and I know how important it is for them to feel a part of our world, to be included. The image of storage units populating our country made me sick to my stomach.
I cannot do justice to the depth and content of Ms Twist's work, I can, however, attest to its authenticity and power already working in my life, after playing the CDs twice and recommending them to friends and clients. I am feeling better about what I have, letting go of the never-ending struggle for more and realizing we are all hooked in the societal messages that we see and hear each day about more being better. Whether it's more square-footage in your home, more sweaters, more food, more cars, more sex, more girlfriends, more money... we're all doing it.
I have not seen Lynne Twist in person, one of my coaching colleagues recommended her teachings after seeing her at the International Coach Federation annual conference. He suggested the audio CDs over her book, because as he said, her energy comes through so clearly. He is right - her voice is powerful, yet gentle and her message is heartfelt and absolutely what our global climate needs right now.
There is a guided meditation and a few exercises, in addition to suggestions for purging some of our unnecessary stuff, all of which are dynamic and extremely effective. I am doing the forgiveness exercise and have been using it with some of my clients and inmates I mentor in jail.
Please buy this CD set and share your thoughts and experience with me. Lynne Twist is making a HUGE impact, globally by ending world hunger and changing our thinking about money.
