Books about contribution (giving your gift)

[Jim Bob]

Hi everyone,

I'm am looking for some quality books or content about the topic of contribution. I am struggling to find anything that focuses specifically on this and is not just a side note to other topics. Considering contribution is a key component to happiness and fulfillment it seems like an area many people can benefit from. 

I have been contemplating this recently myself but I want to gain deeper knowledge through reading and explore questions such as...

How does one share there work in a meaningful way?

Why might my work be important to others and not just me?

How can my work add value to peoples lives?

How might my work benefit humanity? 

How can I make a deep contribution to society?

Is there more to contribution than adding value?

What is contribution?

Looking forward to hearing your recommendations.

@Rebec @F A B Thank you for your recommendations! These are great books. I have previously listened to them in audiobook form but I will go and buy hard copies and squeeze out some more information. Thank you so much!

@Rebec Also that is a wonderful quote! I will definetly try to make more space and time to find my own answers.

@Sahil Pandit My LP is: To become a master at creating beautiful objects that uplift people globally.
