Now listen to this luminous and inspiring vision of how to make money a true partner in expressing and fulfilling your highest beliefs and values. This is one of the most powerful and exciting voices we have heard lately, reminding us of what’s really important in life. “In our society,” Twist says, “money is the voice of your commitment…. Let’s use money–the thing that people think is so evil–to bring in the light, to transform the future.” Hear “how to use money as another avenue to express the soulful human being that we are.”
