The Art of Asking is a book far more people need to read, especially women. Amanda Palmer's life is an interesting one, sure, but the point of this book is to remind people that it's okay to be vulnerable. It's okay to ask for help. It's okay to lean on others. It's okay to mess up. It's okay to feel. It's okay to be human. And it's okay to be told no.
A no isn't a rejection of you, it's just a no for that ask.
This book has been eye-opening for me in many ways, and I'm definitely still processing. Probably will be for a while. But I can say with certainty that more people need to read and internalize the message in this book.
