This is a subject we don’t talk enough about. If you have money, you perhaps don’t want people to know. If you lack it, you probably also don’t want people to know. But Elizabeth Husserl has found a way to frame the important conversation; and she shows why it’s important: because we don’t seem to understand what is enough and what it means to live well.
This is a book about abundance and soul, and all of the ways a person might be wealthy. “How do I experience wealth in my body? How do I experience wealth in my heart?”
Husserl is a financial advisor — not someone who typically writes a spiritual book. She lives in the Bay Area of California where she co-founded an investment firm. But she’s also a graduate of the California Institute of Integral Studies in East-West psychology and knows how to interweave teachings and quotations from Julia Cameron and Daniel Goleman and about “the soul of money” and “whole brain living” — which are also titles of previous books upon which she leans.
Chapters are interspersed with “mini moments” of questions for reflection that should appeal to readers who feel they have too little money as well as those who come to the book wanting to imagine how to do better in the world with their full accounts. These questions include: “Who in my life overemphasized money to the detriment of our relationship? How did it feel?” And “What do I want to let go of in my relationship to money?”
Most of all, this is a book about gratitude. Husserl has a way of advising readers toward good financial planning and how to cultivate “an abundance mindset” at the same time.
