Year of Yes

Hollywood's most influential woman, the incredibly creative creator of Grey's Anatomy and Scandal and executive producer of How to Get Away with Murder and Catch, shares how choosing yes transformed her life and how it can alter yours too in this heartfelt, humorous, and very personal cry to arms. Shonda Rhimes had plenty of reasons to decline invites since she was the mother of three children and the star of three popular television programmes. A glamorous soirée? Nope. Not a speaking engagement. appearances in media? Nope. Saying no also had a special advantage for an introvert like Shonda, who describes herself as 'hugging the walls' at social gatherings and having panic attacks before to press interviews: there was nothing new to dread. During Thanksgiving 2013, Delorse, Shonda's sister, mumbled to her, "You never say yes to anything." In Year of Yes, Shonda Rhimes shares her profound, passionate, and belly-laugh-inducing story of how saying yes altered and saved her life. And with just one simple word—yes—inspires people worldwide to transform their own lives.
