Transforming Wall Street: A Conscious Path for a New Future, by Kim Ann Curtin Review "There is no conflict between making money and morality. As Barry Ritholtz, who is quoted here, succinctly states, It comes back to integrity. If you have integrity, it doesn t matter what you do for a living. The evils often attributed to capitalism almost invariably come from other sources, such as crony capitalism, which is the exact opposite. Self-interest is not the same as selfishness. Such narrow thinking would fail to delineate between the motivated entrepreneur and the armed robber; the former enhances society s wealth through self-interest, while the latter destroys it through selfishness. The idea that the corporation s job is to maximize shareholder value is a myth that neither serves the interests of society, the corporation, or ironically, even shareholders (beyond the short-term). These are just a sampling of the ideas explored in Transforming Wall Street, a book that probes fifty leading Wall Street figures for their insights on more important questions than how to make money in the markets." --Jack Schwager, Author of Market Wizards "Kim Ann Curtin elevates and deepens the debate over necessary reform of Wall Street and today s unstable global casino finance. Deeply researching Adam Smith s overlooked The Theory of Moral Sentiments provides context for this research into the deeper motivations and worldviews of the Wall Street 50 in finance whom Curtin interviews. Beyond blaming and shaming, she identifies positive trends, thus showcasing possibilities for reforming markets, metrics, and models for more sustainable financing of our common human future." --Hazel Henderson, Author of Mapping the Global Transition to the Solar Age and Ethical Markets: Growing the Green Economy, and President, Ethical Markets Media (USA & Brazil) Certified B Corporation "There are a lot of good people on Wall Street, but the most notorious ones are known to the public for the wrong reasons. Every day, conscious capitalism faces resistance on Wall Street. We need more good people on Wall Street. This book sheds light on the good actors and provides readers with a toolkit to follow in their footsteps." --Brad Katsuyama, President & CEO IEX Group, Inc. "In Transforming Wall Street, Kim Ann Curtin strips away layers of justifications and misconceptions to provide us with the true essence of capitalism and how it can be consciously used to maximize human potential. She deftly weaves together historic turning points and contemporary thought leaders to create a compelling argument that by using our economic systems more deliberately, we will be far more satisfied with the outcomes." --Amy Domini, Founder of Domini Social Investments & Author of Socially Responsible Investing: Making a Difference and Making Money "Kim Ann Curtin's experience coaching "conscious capitalism" comes through as she captures the practices of 50 leading Wall Street financiers, academics and futurists that allow Wall Street to serve not greed but the greater good." --Keith Ferrazzi, author of the #1 NY Times Bestseller Never Eat Alone and Who's Got Your Back "Through her interviews, Curtin defines what true capitalism can be and should be. She exposes the situations that have hindered capitalism, such as government interference in free markets, from fulfilling its potential for long-term prosperity for everyone. Well worth reading." --John A. Allison, President and CEO of the Cato Institute, Retired Chairman and CEO, BB&T"In her new book, Kim Ann Curtin delivers brilliant answers to the capitalist bashers and wolves of Wall Street alike." --Oswald Grubel, Former Group CEO UBS AG "Bravo! Finally a book on conscious capitalism from the streets of Wall Street." --Chip Conley, Bestselling Author and Hospitality Entrepreneur "Our entire planetary future depends upon bringing more consciousness to finance. It s not an exaggeration to say that this single book might just get us there. Kim Ann Curtin offers us new visions and voices, principles and practices, that all come together and speak truth to money with a cry straight from the heart." --Raphael Cushnir, Author of The One Thing Holding You Back and Surfing Your Inner Sea "Kim Ann Curtin s book reveals the truth that many business leaders already know in their hearts: business can be, and should be, a force for good." --Professor Lynn Stout, Distinguished Professor of Corporate and Business Law, Jack G. Clarke Business Law Institute, Cornell Law School & Author of The Shareholder Value Myth: How Putting Shareholders First Harms Investors, Corporations, and the Public "This extraordinary book is a Rosetta Stone for financial leaders and anyone who wishes to transform his or her relationship with money. Kim Ann Curtin brilliantly bridges the world of investment with the journey of awakening. She demonstrates that it is possible to claim inner reward amidst our quest to succeed in the marketplace. If every financier read this book and applied its principles, the world would be a far happier and more prosperous place." --Alan Cohen, author of The Dragon Doesn't Live Here Anymore "This book is a superbly textured insight into the world of Wall Street. By skillfully mixing the perspectives of fifty participants Kim Ann Curtin addresses one of the critical questions of today can one harmonize a spiritual sensitivity with the realities of working in the financial community? The book is useful on many levels from entry level to the board room. There is no jargon; there is no rote. Reading this book is an enlightening and thrilling experience. Buy it and Read it." --Robert Monks, Shareholder Activist and author of The New Global Investors: How Shareowners can Unlock Sustainable Prosperity Worldwide "In reexamining the philosophical origins of capitalism, and putting a spotlight on those who have practiced it true to its evidently 'conscious' core, Kim Ann Curtin makes one believe in the American Dream again. Once you read this book, you'll never look at what you do and how in quite the same way." --Tahl Raz, business journalist and author of Never Eat Alone "Wall Street's backbone is trust. And there is no osteoporosis of trust, it crumbles all at once. Transforming Wall Street: A Conscious Path for a New Future provides us with financiers who honor and understand this trust, proving that capitalists can indeed live consciously." --His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar"Kim Ann Curtin's book Transforming Wall Street, is full of interesting and innovative ideas about human nature, our interests in and motivations regarding money, and how we can apply capitalism in ways that will make our economy, society, and personal lives more satisfying. It is well worth reading." --John C. Whitehead, Former Co-Chairman & Partner of Goldman Sachs, a former US Deputy Secretary of State & former director of the NYSE "Kim Ann Curtin has bravely faced facts in the much-maligned recent history of Wall Street and woven together interviews from some of today's most accomplished thinkers and players to create a brocade of strategies for conscious leadership that will, if implemented, make our financial power centers both successful and responsible again."--Marshall Goldsmith, author of the New York Times and global bestseller What Got You Here Won t Get You There "It's only through practicing mindfulness with the intention of everyone's financial benefit that you can call yourself a true fiduciary. Kim s book reflects her inner wisdom in applying this process to our collective benefit." --Michael Martin, MartinKronicle.com Author, The Inner Voice of Trading "Room to Read's early development thrived thanks in large part to the conscious capitalism of Wall Street that Kim Ann Curtin eloquently discusses. Curtin s analysis of the Wall Street 50 is a fantastic account of how the banking and hedge fund communities can and are making a tremendous impact on social causes. Room to Read s global literacy and girls education efforts have impacted over 8 million children in Asia and Africa due in large part to philanthropic leadership and support from the finance community. Transforming Wall Street is a rousing take on the future of Wall Street s contribution not only to Main Street but also to communities in Asia and Africa." --John Wood, Founder, Room to Read and author of Leaving Microsoft to Change the World "When it comes to spreading Conscious Capitalism, Wall Street and the financial sector are the final frontier, and to many, the greatest obstacle. Kim Ann Curtin s book is a wonderfully positive and inclusive contribution to the dialogue of how the financial sector can reconnect with its invaluable and inherent higher purpose, which is to enable the spread of human and planetary flourishing by shepherding societal resources and directing them towards the most impactful areas. The breadth of thinking and depth of wisdom in this book are quite breathtaking. Let us all hope that it falls on receptive ears in the canyons of Wall Street and in financial capitals around the world." --Raj Sisodia, FW Olin Distinguished Professor of Global Business & Whole Foods Market Research Scholar in Conscious Capitalism, Babson College. Co-founder & Co-Chairman, Conscious Capitalism Inc. "Just like everything else in life, there are always two sides of every story. Curtin takes that approach to Finance and Capitalism. Transforming Wall Street: A Conscious Path for a New Future shows the good that can come those players that look beyond their own enrichment to the betterment of our overall society." --George G. Schwartz, Chief Operating Officer, Boston Private Bank & Trust Company

Tichelaar Whether you’re the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, a day trader, someone with a 401k, someone who thinks everyone on Wall Street is a crook, or you just plain don’t care about the economy, you need to read Transforming Wall Street because there’s a lot you may not know about capitalism in America today—and there’s reason for hope. Yes, there is some shady dealing, but author Kim Ann Curtin believes there’s also a lot to celebrate, a lot of good people working in the financial world, and a better future for all of us that’s achievable when we reassess capitalism and begin to live consciously.Known as “The Wall Street Coach,” Curtin set out to write this book after a diverse career that included being the operations manager of a bookstore, working as an executive assistant to a CEO of a bankers association, being personal assistant to a hedge fund manager, and finally becoming a personal and executive coach. Early in her coaching career, convinced that capitalism needed a dose of conscious living, Curtin decided to give free coaching to people on Wall Street, and so, she tells us, “on October 7, 2008, down I went to bring my coaching to those whom I hoped might use it. Within a couple of hours of sitting there on my cement bench on the corner of Broad & Wall Street, there was some static in the air. I could feel the tension. I asked a passerby what was going on and he said, ‘The market is in free fall.’ Then people started to approach me—the sort of executives I didn’t expect would.”As the stock market plummeted and the Great Recession began, the seeds were planted for Curtin to coach capitalists about conscious living, and from there came the idea to write this book. She understood how disgusted many people were with Wall Street as many unethical behaviors and dealings were revealed in the months that followed, but Curtin had also always been a strong believer in capitalism, and she believes rather than the two concepts being opposed, one can make money and still do good in the world. Beyond that, she believes capitalism remains the best economic answer; she states, “balancing capitalism with living consciously is what can and will transform our economy, Wall Street, and the world.”A great and noble belief, but perhaps easier said than done. Still, Curtin is not delusional or one to rely on fantasy theories. In Transforming Wall Street, she begins with capitalism’s basics, its foundations, and she separates the facts from the myths, shedding new light—or rather revealing what was always there but often overlooked—on the theories of Adam Smith and Ayn Rand about how capitalism should work and why those beliefs are still valuable and workable today. She includes discussions with professors who are experts on capitalism theory and points out what capitalism truly is versus how it is often misconceived and distorted.Then, convinced she could find ethical people on Wall Street as role models, Curtin set out to interview the group of people she calls “The Wall Street 50,” though in the end she found more than fifty of them. These are ethical people who work in the financial sector—some of them refused to be unethical and left corrupt companies on Wall Street, others have established their own companies with ethics guiding them, and still others are trying to change the world using capitalism to fuel non-profit organizations. Curtin spent hundreds of hours interviewing The Wall Street 50 and extracts of those interviews are included in the book. Among those interviewed are John Bogle, founder of The Vanguard Group, Bill Ackman, founder of Persing Square Capital Management, and Jim Rogers, founder of Beeland Interests. She also interviewed over a dozen people she refers to as “Teachers of Consciousness” to gather their thoughts about ethical living and how capitalism can be compatible with it. These teachers include Neale Donald Walsch, author of Conversations with God, Rasanath Das, a former investment banker who became a Buddhist monk, and Patricia Aburdene, author of Conscious Money.The interview sections take up the largest portion of the book and are arranged by topics of discussion, including what Curtin calls the Five Practices to Become More Awake: Self-Responsibility, Self/Other Empathy, Emotional Non-Resistance/Present Moment Awareness, The Internal and External Journey, and Self-Awareness/Mindfulness. She also discusses with the Wall Street 50 how they balance being capitalists with living consciously, what to do when being morally tested, what advice they would have for those entering Wall Street, and what they would do to change Wall Street if they had magic wands.The result of all this research and the interviews is a diversity of viewpoints about what Wall Street is and what it can become. Not every interviewee agrees with every other, but that allows for a lot of food for thought and many roads to choose from that can all lead us in the right direction. Curtin’s purpose is not to offer a “fix” for Wall Street, but rather to open up the conversation, to encourage people to rethink the definition of capitalism and how it operates, to set aside jaded feelings and instead see the hopeful possibilities that capitalism offers. If we all begin thinking and living consciously when it comes to our own money and how it is used, I don’t think we can underestimate the positive change that can happen. I welcome how Curtin has pulled back the “curtain” on Wall Street’s dealings to reveal not only the bad but all the hope there is. Transforming Wall Street is a sunbeam of hope coming through the window of a dusty room and allowing us to rediscover the possibilities for capitalism that were always there.Disclosure: As the editor of this book, while I know I may have a vested interest in it, the author's vision for it was so extraordinary that I felt the need to write this review.

By Lisa Rangel Kim Ann Curtin has accomplished in her interviews what no other writer has accomplished: She has communicated hope in changing Wall Street's culture to one of compassionate capitalism through the actions of individuals, as evidenced by the highly accomplished 50 Conscious Capitalists she hand selected to interview from all aspects of the financial sector. Each interview brings to light the conflicts faced by these leaders and the conscious choices they made that honored the investor they served, stayed true to their own values and still generated profits in an unapologetic, yet integrity-filled manner. Kim Ann demonstrates that being morally conscious and unabashedly capitalistic do not have to be mutually exclusive. These interviews offer hope to all interested in or participating in the financial markets in any capacity.

Truly an Enlightening Read By Joseph Aldo Kim Ann Curtin did the impossible: She demonstrated that Conscious Capitalism can not only be a reality but that it already exists, and in Transforming Wall Street she gives the blueprint for how it can be achieved. Through her many interviews, revelations, practices and guidance, the reader is led through the maze of unconscious capitalism, awakened to an alternate reality, and eventually finds themselves in an open field of possibility where community, humanity and even the environment can be sustained by Conscious Capitalism. Gratitude to the author for having the courage to dive into the shadow of Wall Street and reveal the Light within the heart of the beast.
