Finance ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
The Soul of Money: Reclaiming the Wealth of Our Inner Resources
Lynne Twist · 2013
🎙 Narrated by Cynthia Barrett
76/100
👍 Worth It
Penny here — this one's less about spreadsheets and more about your soul, and Twist earns the right to talk about generosity since she's actually raised over $150 million doing it. It's a Nautilus Award winner for good reason, though faith-specific families should know the spiritual framing is more universalist (Mother Teresa and the Dalai Lama both make appearances) than doctrinally particular; Cynthia Barrett's narration is warm and fitting.
✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
⚠ Parent note — our reviewers flagged: Universalist/interfaith spiritual framing (draws on Mother Teresa and the Dalai Lama alike) rather than a doctrinally specific faith lens — worth a heads-up for faith-particular listeners, not a major concern.. We still scored it 76; these are context for your family, not an automatic skip.
