Year Of Yes

Year of Yes follow the story of Shonda Rhimes- an introvert, a mum of three, and one of the most successful women in Hollywood. She is the creator and producer of some of today's most innovative and daring television shows. Her iconic characters are outspoken and live boldly. So, who would have guessed Shonda Rhimes is an introvert? That she hired a publicist in order to avoid making public appearances? That she had panic attacks before press interviews?

With three children at home and three hit television shows, Shonda could easily claim she was simply too busy. But, in reality, she was terrified. Then, during Thanksgiving dinner, her sister said something that was both a wake-up call and a rallying cry: "You never say yes to anything." Shonda knew she had to accept the challenge: she would say YES to everything that scared her for a year.

Shonda's life before her Year of Yes is explored in this poignant, intimate, and hilarious memoir, from her nerdy, book-loving childhood to her devotion to creating television characters who reflected the world she saw around her. The book follows Shonda's life after her Year of Yes began, when she forced herself out of the house and onto the stage, learning to explore, empower, applaud, and love her truest self.

Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes is a profound, impassioned, and laugh-out-loud funny memoir about how saying YES changed - and saved - her life. It is regarded as one of the best books every woman should read in their 40s.
