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.

Say Yes to this book
First let me start by saying I have never listened to a audio book in one sitting. This book had my attention and for good reason not only is she smart, witty but educational. I end this book wanting to take a page out of Shonda' s story and I am encouraged to say yes to things I am afraid to do. I related to some of the things she shared and listened to the the things I couldn't relate too. I love her honesty and I will definitely listen again. Thank you for sharing your story Shonda.

Even better than Scandal
And I love Scandal.
A lovely, honest, very funny book. Felt like a conversation between friends and has already inspired me to make changes to my life. Wish I'd had this year's ago.

Saying yes works
It was an interesting listen. A reserved yet determined person who is into social issues and this is reflective in her work.
This book was recommended to me. It was ok. Inspirational in parts. Her story telling is really good

Yes, Yes, Yes...
Loved it. Shona Rhimes is a favourite of mine, from watching Greys Anatomy to How to Get Away with Murder this book did not disappoint. It's a simple principle and change in mindset that I stick to now, and you get further in life by stepping out of your comfort zone and starting saying yes. I believe our lives are a journey and doing this opens so many new opportunities. This book is in my top 5 list, it's a must read....
