The Art Of Asking teaches you to finally accept the help of others, stop trying to do everything on your own, and finally build a closely-knit family of friends and supporters.

Many have gotten to know Amanda Palmer without ever exchanging a single word with her.

Before starting her career as a musician, she stood still for hours on end – as a street performer.

She'd paint her face white, put on a wedding dress and a black wig, and show off her abilities in different locations in Boston.

Since then, she's become a singer-songwriter, author, and half of the musical duo The Dresden Dolls.

This book is about her struggle with asking for help, and how overcoming your fear of vulnerability can help you unlock your potential.

Once Palmer learned to welcome the support of her fans, family, and friends, her life changed for the better - and so can yours.
