Rhimes comes across as inspiring and real, every bit the heroine whom readers need to inspire such a change in themselves.Following a traditional moderately orthodox Jewish upbringing I studied art for five years, gaining a BA at Saint Martins in 1981. Now she shares some of the key beliefs and events behind this transformation, all with good humor and vivid prose. Rhimes found saying "yes" so valuable that she resolved to extend her year-long promise into a lifetime. She agreed to public speaking events that helped move her career forward spent more time playing with her children and less time working and shed weight, as well as the toxic people and users in her life. The results were spectacular: Rhimes learned to live life to the fullest and on her own terms. In 2013, Rhimes's sister challenged her over Thanksgiving meal prep, and Rhimes formed a dare for herself: an entire year of saying "yes" to the things that scared her. Best of all, she “can help motivate even the most determined homebody to get out and try something new” ( Chicago Tribune).įrom the creator of the hit TV series Grey's Anatomy and Scandal, and executive producer of How to Get Away With Murder, comes a powerful memoir and self-help book that promotes saying "Yes!" to life. “Honest, raw, and revelatory” ( The Washington Post), this wildly candid and compulsively readable book reveals how the mega talented Shonda Rhimes finally achieved badassery worthy of a Shondaland character. The book chronicles her life after her Year of Yes had begun-when Shonda forced herself out of the house and onto the stage when she learned to explore, empower, applaud, and love her truest self. This poignant, intimate, and hilarious memoir explores Shonda’s life before her Year of Yes-from her nerdy, book-loving childhood to her devotion to creating television characters who reflected the world she saw around her. Shonda knew she had to embrace the challenge: for one year, she would say YES to everything that scared her. And then, over Thanksgiving dinner, her sister muttered something that was both a wake up and a call to arms: You never say yes to anything. With three children at home and three hit television shows, it was easy for Shonda to say she was simply too busy. So who would suspect that Shonda Rhimes is an introvert? That she hired a publicist so she could avoid public appearances? That she suffered panic attacks before media interviews? Her iconic characters live boldly and speak their minds. She’s the creator and producer of some of the most groundbreaking and audacious shows on television today. “As fun to read as Rhimes’s TV series are to watch” ( Los Angeles Times). The instant New York Times bestseller from the creator of Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal and executive producer of How to Get Away With Murder shares how saying YES changed her life.
