New World Library, publisher of bestsellers by Deepak Chopra, Eckhart Tolle, Dan Millman and Shakti Gawain, will publish the Rev. Ernest D. Chu's "Soul Currency: The Secret of Being Well Paid for Doing What Really Fulfills You," The Soul Currency Institute announced today.

Combining profitable strategies from the venture capital industry with powerful insights from ancient teachings, "Soul Currency: The Secret of Being Well Paid for Doing What Really Fulfills You" will guide readers through a series of steps leading to more fulfilling and prosperous lives.

The author, a former investment banker, corporate executive and entrepreneur, is a widely recognized expert on financing emerging growth companies. He has evaluated thousands of business proposals and advised hundreds of emerging companies, serving as leader and business coach to nine early stage companies, with five of those companies becoming public companies. He has created more than $1 billion in market value for his clients.
