Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes Book Summary

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. “As fun to read as Rhimes’s TV series are to watch” (Los Angeles Times).

She’s the creator and producer of some of the most groundbreaking and audacious shows on television today. Her iconic characters live boldly and speak their minds. 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?

With three children at home and three hit television shows, it was easy for Shonda to say she was simply too busy. But in truth, she was also afraid. 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. Shonda knew she had to embrace the challenge: for one year, she would say YES to everything that scared her.

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. 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. Yes.

“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. Best of all, she “can help motivate even the most determined homebody to get out and try something new” (Chicago Tribune).

Refreshing. This book refreshes my soul. Shonda Rhimes has such a unique voice. I had no idea she possessed such a talent. And it left me wanting more! Please, please write more, Ms. Rhimes!!

Year of yes is amazing. I started reading this book after I decided to have my year of yes. It just happen to me and then I heard about this book and read it and many quotes is on my vision board. This will be my first selection into my book club. Thank u shonda

Year Of Yes. If you want to be inspired. If you want to experience a shift in your current situation or circumstance, say YES to reading this book! For me, it was, is, life changing! Btw... It's funny as hell!

Amazing. This book is so awesome. I felt like the book was kinda about me. I actually sat down and did the exercises in the book and it opened my eyes. It helped me in so many ways. I’m no longer afraid of what ifs. I got out of situations where I was unhappy. I resolved and let go of issues from my past. I no longer settle for safe.

So much fun to read!!. When reading, I felt like I was having a conversation with Shonda. I love the humor, the truth of her life, and the happiness and love that jump off these pages. Smiles for Shonda!

So good!. I actually started reading this book about a year ago, but it wasn’t until now, after going through my own year of yes, that I can truly appreciate Shonda’s words!

YES YES YES 🛤🚈🚋🚝🚃🚂🚊. Absolutely Loved The Train Ride and The Laying of Tracks‼️‼️‼️

Ms Shonda Rhimes😉. Outstanding!! This book has transformed my life! Thank you for sharing Ms. Shonda,greatly appreciated! Badassery😎

It was good.... Good book with some inspirational thoughts.

Badassery incarnate. Shonda is me. I am her. She is all of us. A fantastic voyage. I read all the way through to the publishing stamp - complete absorption. Each revelation she unearthed resonates.

Absolutely love this!!. This book was truly laugh out loud funny and comforting at the same time. You feel like you're sitting across from Shonda sipping on a tall Olivia Pope red wine glass chit chatting about her year of yes. This book was encouraging as much as inspiring especially as a new mom. Shonda keeps it real and normalizes what it means to be a successful working mother passionate about her career and children. She's frank. And it's so refreshing!! I highly recommend this book!! I've been telling all my girls about this one! You go Shonda!

Inspiring. Fabulous book. Inspiring and up-lifting. Should you ever find yourself in a rut, this book will successfully get you out of it.

Intrepid. Ms. Rhymes is fearless and Inspirational. Every word was written with intention and grace. I am so happy I stumbled upon this book because it has impacted me for a lifetime

Lessons we already know. This is a fantastic book. And really, it is because Shonda (we are friends now, in my head) just says what we all think. But better.

The year of yes. This is a magical, funny , inspiring book. I am beginning a year of yes just from this inspiration . The incredible way she weaves us into her thoughts and fears is truly amazing. It's a book for everyone , but I want every woman to read this. You will change

A must read for all women!. This book will leave you feeling empowered to choose your own life, wherever you want that to be. It's funny, thought-provoking and inspiring!

A Fan's MUST READ!. If you are a Shondaland fan, this is a must read. Not only does it give you insight into the life of a mysterious Wonder Woman, it helps you understand and appreciate her characters and stories SO much more. I love this book!

Loved it!. This book seemed to be talking directly to me. So many chapters resonated with me during a difficult time in my life. It seemed to me that I was meant to read that one particular chapter that very day in my life.

The Year of Yes. Thank YOU, Shonda for pulling me into my own Year of Yes! This is an incredibly motivating book in its transparency. To know that even with "success" established, it's not real until you believe it and accept you that deserve it. And nothing less. Wow.

10/10. Such an empowering book! Starting my year of yes!

Excellent. Excellent book. Shonda gives words to feelings so deep. I have recommended to everyone- Facebook, co-workers friends and family. Thank you Shonda for sharing your experiences. Looking forward to my upcoming year of yes!

thank you Shonda Rhimes. This book saved me.

Amazing book. One of my favorite books of all time. Definitely best memoir I've ever read. Would highly recommend it!

Good book say yes to reading it. This book was inspiring, uplifting, and spoke to my truth! It was also an easy read!

My life is changed.. This book changed my life not only because I moved to Los Angeles to become a television screenwriter and it has inspired me to continue on with my goal, but because the words she wrote was everything that I needed to hear. I have the worst social anxiety with no affordable healthcare to seek medical attention for it. It was a losing battle. With knowing that my idol also struggled with anxiety and seeing how she’s overcomed it makes my breathing a little easier, alot easier. Just saying yes to things and living. Thank you so much Shonda. Thank you so much.

Witty, Inspiring and illuminating. Excellent book. Whether you are an introvert or extrovert, this book will help you reveal your true potential.

YES!. This book is incredible. So many snippets of brilliance. I didn't want it to end! Shonda always leaves me wanting more. Should be required reading for everyone!!

Year of Yes. Wow! This book came into my hands at the PERFECT time of my life. I was guided through obstacles, and connected with Shonda immensely! I feel that Shonda (other than writing smash hits on TV) could have been writing my own story. I laughed with her I cried with her, and her resounding voice carried me through some very treacherous waters and sharks waiting to rip me to pieces. Every time I picked her book back up at the perfect time, and was guided further on my journey. Thank You Shonda your book set fire to my heart and soul. Because of you and Christina Yang, I am bolder, brighter, no longer a timid mouse in the corner afraid of the cat! I’m a caged bird that broke free, and with your help and wisdom, I am soaring to heights never known!
