Reseña del editor:

'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 for the money to make a new album to tour with it, and raise over a million in a month.

In 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.
