The Art of Asking; or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Let People Help by Amanda Palmer

emotional hopeful inspiring medium-paced

4.0

Amanda Palmer has had a beautiful and interesting life, in large part because she has put her trust in others, both her loved ones and strangers. This book is a very lovely and interesting memoir, and a challenge to the reader to put their trust in others. While she acknowledges that this openness to others has hurt her, she argues that most people want to help others and her overwhelming experience in trusting others has been positive. I loved Palmer's voice, both her writing voice and her physical voice, and the audiobook includes some of her music, which is a great bonus for the audiobook listener. Overall I would recommend this to artists and creatives in particular, but I think everyone can learn something and enjoy Palmer's journey.
