Description

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.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"What makes this such a powerful audiobook is that, behind her colloquial language and assertive style, you can appreciate the work it took for someone this shy to begin making public appearances and to perform this excellent inspirational audio." ( AudioFile)

Thanks Shonda🙏 YES 🙌

I couldn’t pause, inspiring, motivating, hugely relatable. I am a little late… it’s not 2014 or 2015.
MY year of YES is 2023 🤩🎉💕

Love her!

Omg she made me lol almost the entire book!
It was reassuring that someone so successful and famous was a person just like any of us; she has her own challenges to overcome despite the fact that she has made an amazing career out of her creative mind!
Thank u for sharing Shonda! You definitely need to write more books for us! Maybe a workbook for us to utilize while we explore our year of yes! Something we can journal in recording our reasons and feelings for saying no...be nice to track our yes’ when we would normally have said no! I’m doing that in a notebook but maybe you have ideas of how to format something to accompany this inspiring book!
Another book you might write could be ‘How to write a non fiction novel’ I would love to write a book but knowing how u turned your ideas into a brilliant career would be awesome! I’m doing research on how to write a book and would love your thoughts and ideas!

A lot of words that all say the same thing…

Platitude after platitude. A bunch of words that ultimately say the same thing and simultaneously mean nothing. I really wanted to like this title. And by the end, I was wishing that it would be over already. What editor read this book and said “this is gold!”? Clearly everyone was cashing in on Shonda’s popularity and no one wanted to say the quiet part loud. Shonda cannot write a book BUT she can absolutely narrate one!

It’s OK

Well… i had high hopes for this book i guess,or i should say high-ER than it delivered. It’s a nice read,going through the life of the narrator,how she struggled and how she felt when she was faced with the choice of going after her dreams and the overwhelming fear of literally popping her pants on live TV,because of extremely anxiety and stressing over pretty much everything. I don’t generally dislike the book although i don’t treat it like a self-help one. To me it’s actually like a nice memoir disguised as a “Get out there and grab life by the balls!” type of read.
She said she used to have at least two glasses of wine before going on stage, i can relate to that although never actually having been on a stage (being a kid in a funny costume in a kindergarten play doesn’t count cause when you are young you just don’t care). She also said that throughout life,gradually,through her being proactive and willing to do things but in “her own way” she would agree to do things that would generally initially terrify her. Good for her,i mean that’s general advice that your mum gives you every other day right?
I just get the hype around this,plus i’ve never been a “Gray’s Anatomy “ fan,never seen “Scandal “ so i can’t really relate to the shows,but her way of telling the story,HER story,is OK. The book is OK,nothing spectacular or astounding,just OK.

Love the message

I personally found this book too repetitive, too wordy, too dramatic.
However I did LOVE the message behind it.

Inspiring, funny, honest, a path to happiness

This book was delightful and honest.
Shonda talks about things that were true for me but that I’d never allowed myself to acknowledge before. I too practiced being veal and was slowly killing myself by saying no to invitations to life and challenge and joy. Please read or listen to this book! I will be sharing it with my 14 year old daughter today. I am starting my own year of yes today! Thank you Shonda. You and your characters have taught me so much about what is possible. I love you.

A Gold Mine of Wisdom

Just finished rereading this book for the 3rd time and appreciate Shonda Rhimes’ vulnerability, openness and humour. Her transformative year took courage in accepting each ‘Yes’ even though it was scary. We witness her confidence grow and her ability to hold power in all areas of her life expand. Lessons for working moms, leaders and any woman who is looking to redefine their life. Thank you for continuing to say ‘Yes’ and inspiring others to do the same.
