Publisher's Summary
"When we really see each other, we want to help each other." -- Amanda
Palmer
Imagine standing on a box in the middle of a busy city, dressed as a
white-faced bride, and silently using your eyes to ask people for money.
Or touring Europe in a punk cabaret band and finding a place to sleep
each night by reaching out to strangers on Twitter. For Amanda Palmer,
actions like these have gone beyond satisfying her basic needs for food
and shelter - they've taught her how to turn strangers into friends,
build communities, and discover her own giving impulses. And because
she had learned how to ask, she was able to go to the world to ask for
the money to make a new album and tour with it, and to raise over a
million dollars in a month.
In The Art of Asking, Palmer expands upon her popular TED talk to reveal
how ordinary people, those of us without thousands of Twitter followers
and adoring fans, can use these same principles in our own lives.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference
material will be available in your My Library section along with the
audio.
What the Critics Say
"Amanda Palmer's resonant yet intimate reading is captivating - but
in a way that keeps listeners wondering whether it's her wisdom about
emotional connections or her outspoken self-promotion that makes this
audio so powerful. She turned the skills she developed as a street busker
and nightclub stripper into crowdfunding her indie rock career and sharing
her ideals about human exchanges in a TED talk that garnered six million
views. Bringing authenticity to her audiobook performance, she sells
herself as a new millennium woman who knows something about inviting
people to understand her and enter into productive exchanges with her.
Her dramatic and seductive vocal style makes her message unforgettable:
Asking for what you want and need will make you a more genuine participant
in the human experience." (AudioFile)
