The Art of Contribution

Have you ever wished for a more authentic and meaningful life?Do you sometimes wish that you could do more to make a difference?Are you fed up with living a life that is not feeding you on a spiritual level?We want to know that our lives matter, that we can have a positive impact on the world and not just exist in it. However, in today's fragmented society so many of us are feeling unfulfilled, overwhelmed and frequently feel powerless to make a difference. All too often we find that either we do not know how to start, or our efforts to make a difference are not effective or appreciated and leave us feeling drained and frustrated.In her book, The Art of Contribution, Ann Skinner reveals that perhaps the answers to our questions on how to make a difference lie closer to home than we may think.ABOUT THE BOOKIn her determination to live a life with purpose, Ann decided to stand for something close to her heart. That something was 'Contribution'. She believed that giving was the route to long-lasting happiness. However, along the way she realised that, although she was right, she was also 'wrong'. Giving wasn't the whole story. This sparked her commitment to explore the subject further.The Art of Contribution shares the five components that are key to our ability to be the difference. Separately they do not support life but together they create the magic of our existence. These components are explored in more depth in this thought-provoking book. They provide valuable insights into what truly contributes towards living a life filled with meaning and purpose.ABOUT THE AUTHORAnn Skinner's stubborn fascination with why we do what we do developed her ongoing passion for coaching, teaching and writing and led her to her year-long exploration of the subject of Contribution.
