Vicki Robin
Your Money or Your Life: Transforming Your Relationship with Money
Join host Michael Lerner in a conversation with the “prophet of consumption-downsizers,” Vicki Robin—co-author of the national best-seller, Your Money or Your Life: Transforming Your Relationship With Money and Achieving Financial Independence and author of Blessing the Hands that Feed Us; what eating closer to home can teach us about food, community and our place on earth (Viking 2014).
Vicki has influenced literally hundreds of thousands of people to rethink their consumption and to value the vast non-material forms of pleasure, security, freedom, and prosperity available to all of us. Her work focuses on the intersection of the “big picture” and our daily lives.
