The Art of Asking 

by Amanda Palmer

Read April, 2018

The Art of Asking is a combination biography and a testament to the power of building community. The personal investment of time carried out by Amanda has seen the result in building a highly engaged community.  Some real kernels of gold in the book. 

One paragraph summary

The building of an engaged, participative community requires the moderator(s) to SEE the members and to partake in active vulnerability.  It is in being vulnerable that an Ask becomes a gift to both the giver and receiver.  It is in asking and giving that the ties that bind the community become stronger.
