Yes Please by Amy Poehler is full of details about how Poehler became an actress and all of the people who helped her along the way. It is also filled with some back ground of her childhood, advice, and testimonials of friends.
There were a few laugh out loud moments (for me this was mostly during the Parks and Recs chapter), but mostly it was just a lot about life in general. There were a lot of details about friends and fellow actors, the UCB, SNL, shows, and her kids. I especially loved the chapter about her boys and their moon hunts. She briefly describes that she went through a rough patch when getting divorced, but she never really said anything bad about Will Arnett and the way she thanked him made me tear up.
There were a few parts I didn't like (like the sex and drug chapters), but that's hollywood and I guess we can't expect everyone to be perfect.
Overall I liked the book, but I still think I liked Tina Fey's book better. :)
