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.

This book came for my entire life, simultaneously wrapping me in a weighted blanket,  and also kicking me in the ass.

Admittedly sometimes I had a hard time connecting to the author,  as she definitely had that rich and slightly out of touch with people's reality vibes.
