Year of Yes

“Year of Yes: How to Dance It Out, Stand in the Sun and Be Your Own Person” by Shonda Rhimes is a powerful, humorous, and heartfelt memoir about personal transformation. As the creator of hit shows like Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal, Rhimes was an introvert who avoided invitations, public appearances, and social events out of fear. Her life began to change during Thanksgiving 2013 when her sister Delorse casually remarked, “You never say yes to anything.” This simple statement became the catalyst for Rhimes to embark on a year-long journey of saying “yes” to everything that scared her.
