First off, I only know about Amanda because I like Neil Gaiman books/ Doctor Who episodes. I've heard of her but never paid attention. How wrong was I?!?
My friends suggested reading this book as part of our church
group, at first I thought how you get these two together. Then I downloaded the
audiobook on Audible and was hooked.
I would definitely recommend getting the audiobook, Amanda Palmer
narrates it and sings, and it's just amazing. Her voice is soothing, the jokes
comes alive, and the songs fill your head and make you want to hum along. Her concept
of having to learn to overcome your fear of asking for a favour helped me a
lot. I hate asking for help, I hate admitting I need help, but this book
changed that entirely. You learn how she became the 8 foot bride statue to make
money, how she explains that the exchange of a flower for a dollar was a deep
experience for her, I could imagine standing in front of her and being the
person that smiles at her as she hands over the flower. Her book centres around
her TED talk and the aftermath of it, how she fell out with her music label and
how she ran the start-up to fund her CDs.
If you aren't sure if this book is for you, just listen to her TED
talk (attached below) and you will want to run and get this book ASAP
