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

5.0

Simply outstanding. Has changed my outlook on art, creativity, belonging and community. Also feel reassured I am not the only creative person with the urge to communicate who also gets kicked in the guts a bit for trusting people a little too much :) This book has reminded me we're all in this together. Everything in life is an exchange. We don't need to build walls around ourselves. We can ask for help, protection or support, and trust we will receive it.

I'm still processing it, really. A wonderful book. Absolutely essential reading for all creatives.
