The Art of Asking: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Let People Help
Autor Amanda Palmer Cuvânt înainte de Brené Brownen Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 oct 2015
Rock
star,
crowdfunding
pioneer,
and
TED
speaker
Amanda
Palmer
knows
all
about
asking.
Performing
as
a
living
statue
in
a
wedding
dress,
she
wordlessly
asked
thousands
of
passersby
for
their
dollars.
When
she
became
a
singer,
songwriter,
and
musician,
she
was
not
afraid
to
ask
her
audience
to
support
her
as
she
surfed
the
crowd
(and
slept
on
their
couches
while
touring).
And
when
she
left
her
record
label
to
strike
out
on
her
own,
she
asked
her
fans
to
support
her
in
making
an
album,
leading
to
the
world's
most
successful
music
Kickstarter.
Even while Amanda is both celebrated and attacked for her fearlessness in asking for help, she finds that there are important things she cannot ask for-as a musician, as a friend, and as a wife. She learns that she isn't alone in this, that so many people are afraid to ask for help, and it paralyzes their lives and relationships. In this groundbreaking book, she explores these barriers in her own life and in the lives of those around her, and discovers the emotional, philosophical, and practical aspects of THE ART OF ASKING.
Part manifesto, part revelation, this is the story of an artist struggling with the new rules of exchange in the twenty-first century, both on and off the Internet. THE ART OF ASKING will inspire readers to rethink their own ideas about asking, giving, art, and love.

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Amanda Palmer expands on her phenomenally popular TED talk to encourage readers to perfect the forgotten art of asking in this New York Times bestselling book. '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 New York TImes bestseller 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.

Recenzii
"A
book
unlike
any
other
I've
ever
read.
.
.
a
book
I'd
have
no
problem
recommending
to
everyone
I
know.
My
mother,
my
best
friend,
my
work
friends,
my
Facebook
friends,
my
LinkedIn
contacts,
even
the
people
I
meet
on
the
street
or
see
on
the
subway
when
I
commute
to
and
from
work.
It's
that
important
and
that
groundbreaking.
This
book
is
not
just
someone's
brave
and
personal
journey
from
childhood
to
her
life
as
an
artist,
but
it
also
addresses
why
and
how
it's
so
hard
to
look
into
someone
else's
eyes
and
be
real,
and
ask
for
help
when
we
need
it.
.
.
.
Palmer
has,
not
to
put
too
fine
a
point
on
it,
ripped
open
her
chest
and
exposed
her
heart
for
all
to
see.
She's
written
her
truth
-
and
it's
at
once
brutal
and
gloriously,
importantly
beautiful."—The
Huffington
Post
"'The Art of Asking' is a compelling read, easily the most universal work she has ever done."—The BostonGlobe
"Much as Anne Lamott offered 'instructions on writing and life' inBird by Bird, Amanda Palmer will be instructive to anyone who struggles with fear of the 'no.'"—Shelf Awareness
"This is the kind of book that makes you want to call the author up at midnight to whisper, 'My God. I thought I was the only one.'"—Jenny Lawson, the Bloggess and author of Let's Pretend This Never Happened
"To read Amanda Palmer's remarkable memoir about asking and giving is to tumble headlong into her world. At first, you find yourself thinking, 'Goodness, what a crazy world that Amanda Palmer inhabits! How does she possibly endure it?' Then, gradually, as you read along, a doorway opens up in your heart, and you realize, 'I want to live in a world exactly like hers.' God willing, this book will show us all how to do it."—Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love and The Signature of All Things
"Amanda has a direct line with her audience-a lifeline for them and for her, the codependency all truly great performers surrender to . . . She's capable of anything, incapable of telling anything but the truth."
—Bono
"A story about a life in one dollar bills, from statue to icon, where media doesn't matter, crowds do. Mandatory reading in the digital age, for aspiring artists and their doubtful parents."
—Nicholas Negroponte, founder, MIT Media Lab
"Amanda Palmer joyfully shows a generation how to change their lives."—Caitlin Moran, author of How to Be a Woman and How to Build a Girl
"Amanda Palmer's generous work of genius will change the way you think about connection, love, and grace."
—Seth Godin, author of Tribes
"From this beautiful, heart-wrenching story of art comes an incredible account of the nature and future of commerce."
—Lawrence Lessig, author of Free Culture
