![]() ![]() Like the guidance she gives in the "Ask Amy" videos, Poehler's insights in Yes Please are honest, humorous, and full of common sense in a way that makes it perfectly clear why Poehler has been able to take over the world the way she has. ![]() Not surprising, since the book is touted as part self-help guide, and Poehler's been known to dish out advice in her "Ask Amy" web videos, a facet of her Smart Girls at the Party project. As Poehler recounts her journey from her idyllic childhood in Massachusetts to her early days in improv in Chicago and New York, to her Saturday Night Live and Parks and Recreation success, she peppers her stories with the wisdom she's picked up along the way. ![]() Yes Please is already getting buzz because of Poehler's candid revelations about her past dabbling in drugs and her 2012 divorce from ex-husband Will Arnett, but the book is far more than a salacious Hollywood tell-all. In a few days, when her memoir Yes Please hits shelves, Poehler will join the list of comedy's female powerhouses (including Mindy Kaling, Sarah Silverman, and Poehler's "comedy wife" Tina Fey) who have opened up about their careers, personal lives, insecurities and triumphs in the pages of a book. ![]()
