Publisher's Summary
2017 Audie Award Finalist for Audiobook of the Year
The megatalented 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 ubertalented 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.

Year of Yes
The title says it all, this one of the books I read when i was going through some self growth and self love journey which changed the way I think. I started saying yes to the things I wouldn't have said yes to. This book gives you the vibes of living the life that you want and trying new things and doing things that only you want to say yes to. If you need a little push in the right direction from a great writer this is is. I had to read a chapter every few days as I didn't want to finish it, yes it is that good.

Relatable and inspiring
I've only seen a few episodes of her many tv successes, but now I want to see them all just to get more Shonda in my life! By the end of the book, it is hard to believe that she was ever any different, so deep was her transformation. Hugely inspiring.

Loved it!
Thank you Shonda, what an amazing year you had. Learning to say yes or no depending on the situation = huge steps going forward. Before I listened to your book I hadn't heard of you, now I admire you!

So much more than I thought
What a brave and revealing tale. The conversational and intimate tone includes the reader making them feel like a special confidant.
I learned about Shonda and myself and how to achieve greater joy in life.

Honest and entertaining
An open and honest story which had me hanging on every word. I loved how real she was about her struggles but also the Cleary way she mixed humour into it. It was like listening to an old friend you hadn’t seen in years
