Amy Meredith Poehler (born September 16, 1971) is an American actress, comedian, director, producer, and writer. After studying improv at Chicago's Second City and ImprovOlympic in the early 1990s, she Co-founded the Chicago-based improvisational-comedy troupe, Upright Citizens Brigade.

She is best known for starring as Leslie Knope in the NBC sitcom Parks and Recreation, for which she won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Television Musical or Comedy Series in 2014 and a Critics' Choice Award for Best Actress in a Comedy Series in 2012. In December 2015, Poehler received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her contributions in television. Derived from a Kirkus review: Poehler shares stories from her adolescence, her star-making tenure at Saturday Night Live and her abiding love of improvisation. In her debut book, comedian Poehler credits her approach to work to Carol Burnett. The author's successful career proves that collaboration, good manners and gratitude are assets in both business and life. She has written a happy, angst-free memoir. Poehler provides a series of lessons learned about achieving success through ambition and a resolute spirit. She affectionately recounts her perfect-seeming childhood and adolescence, including making lifelong friends and living and working in Greenwich Village. Poehler is especially grateful to her proud, comical parents and shares their wisdom with readers. The author conveys the ethos of this project in pithy statements and reassurances sprinkled throughout the book in large type. This is motivation from a hilarious and kindhearted champion. A wise and winning-and polite-memoir and manifesto. Seller Inventory # 600
