I don't read a lot of non-fiction, and I almost never read biographies or autobiographies. So, I don't really know what to say here.
I finished The Art of Asking just a few minutes ago. It's honest, and touching and heartfelt. It made me cry in places (I'm a dreadful crier when I read). In short I really, really liked it.
I'm and ESL teacher and every autumn I give my students of a certain course the assignment to write a song analysis. This is a struggle for a great many of them, they don't really pay attention to the lyrics when they listen to music. After the deadline for the analysis I play them the youtube clip of the TED-talk and we discuss it. They struggle with this too, but in the end we all get something out of the conversation. Thank you, Amanda Palmer.
