Say yes to reading this…
Shonda Rhimes’ inspiring story shows how a year of saying yes made her go from super successful to successful AND happy. Say yes to reading this and discover how you can do anything you put your mind to!
Descriere
The mega-talented creator of Grey's Anatomy and Scandal and executive producer of How to Get Away With Murder chronicles how saying YES for one year changed her life―and how it can change yours, too.
With three hit shows on television and three children at home, the uber-talented Shonda Rhimes had lots of good reasons to say NO when an unexpected invitation arrived. Hollywood party? No. Speaking engagement? No. Media appearances? No.
And there was the side benefit of saying No for an introvert like Shonda: nothing new to fear.
Then Shonda's sister laid down a challenge: just for one year, try to say YES to the unexpected invitations that come your way. Shonda reluctantly agreed―and the result was nothing short of transformative. In Year of Yes, Shonda Rhimes chronicles the powerful impact saying Yes had on every aspect of her life―and how we can all change our lives with one little word. Yes.

Turns out that I love TV writers talking about themselves. Mindy Kaling, now Shonda Rhimes...TV writers are my kind of people.
If you write for TV - assemble a memoir, narrate the audiobook, and just send it my way.
Rating: 5If you write for TV - assemble a memoir, narrate the audiobook, and just send it my way.
I was so moved by this book I cannot even put it into words. As an avid fan of Grey's Anatomy, so many of the words I read and stories Shonda Rhimes was gracious enough to share put so many things into perspective for me. I loved it!
Rating: 4Very inspiring!
Rating: 5This was a funny breezy sort of book that spoke of female empowerment and that we all can have it. Of course, I loved all the asides about Gray's Anatomy but her message is what will stay with me.

Rating: 4This is a fun, witty and inspiring book. She is self-deprecating(although she specifically says she isn't) and honest in the best possible way. Part memoir and part self-help book, but minus the holier than thou undertone. Just Shonda explaining how, and why, she was unhappy with her life and the steps she took to try and rectify the situation.
Rating: 4Shonda Rhimes is an amazing talent and person inside and out. We are definitely friends in my head. I read this book four times before I put it down because it has so much wisdom in it. If you want to change your life for the better, pick up this book and just start saying yes.
Rating: 5Witty, insightful, and often thought provoking. A quick, fun read, but with substance. I knew very little of Shonda Rhimes and had never watched any of her TV shows, but decided to pick this up after catching part of an NPR interview she did The good news is you don't have to know anything about her previous work to enjoy and learn something from this book.
Rating: 4An autobiography by the producer/writer of "Grey's Anatomy" and "Scandal". Although I don't watch any of the shows Shonda works on, her book was recommended and loaned to me by my boss. I found the writing to be engaging and easy to read. It kept me interested and I enjoyed it. Even though I can see where she certainly comes off a little egocentric (and much more outgoing, even prior to her "Year of Yes", than she assumed herself to be), I could still identify with much of what she was saying. As an introvert myself, I know how hard it is to get out there and put yourself in uncomfortable situations where you must deal with people. Also, she has really accomplished quite a lot and broke out of the stereotypical mold many women find themselves in. My favorite part was probably the description of her parent's marriage. I love the visualization of the ducks imprinting on each other, very sweet!Overall, I liked the book and would certainly recommend.
Rating: 4One Thanksgiving Shonda Rhimes's sister told her that she never says yes to anything. Rhimes mulled that over for awhile and realized her sister was right: she turned down pretty much every opportunity that would have challenged her in new ways or that scared her. She decided that was no way to live and embarked on "the year of yes," where she would say yes to everything. The book chronicles that year and explores what Rhimes learned by making it a prerogative to say yes. It's funny and insightful and feminist and body positive, and I enjoyed it a lot. I wouldn't describe it as self-help (there's no plan to follow or anything), but rather inspiring, in a way that feels real and organic rather than Inspiring. Recommended.
Rating: 4Highly recommended. Interesting, inspiring and motivational. Entertaining too. A fan
Rating: 4Loved this book. it was incredible to hear Shonda's story of transforming her life by saying yes. Inspirational and filled with takeaways that readers can consider for implementing for themselves.

I enjoyed this book. Rhimes is a real story teller...
Rating: 5Great book! What made it even better was Shonda’s narration. It’s my favorite audiobook so far. It was like a book I could not put down – I couldn’t wait to be in the car to listen to it!
Rating: 5I originally thought audiobooks were odd. Mainly because I felt as though I wouldn't be able to give it my undivided attention. I sure was wrong. I finished the book in a day and I was sad it ended. I felt as though Ms. Rhimes and I were having a lovely conversation regarding life and how vital it is to embrace the "badassary" we each possess to catapult ourselves to the highest of heights where we're destined to be.

Rating: 5Yes. I expected this to be more of a self help type book, but was happily pleased when it turned out to be a memoir. I have learned how much of myself I see in Shonda Rhimes, and that just made this all the better.
