The Blurb
In this
poignant, hilarious and deeply intimate call to arms, Hollywood's most powerful
woman, the mega-talented creator of Grey's Anatomy and Scandal and executive
producer of How to Get Away with Murder and Catch, reveals how saying YES
changed her life - and how it can change yours too. With three hit shows on
television and three children at home, Shonda Rhimes had lots of good reasons
to say no when invitations arrived. Hollywood party? No. Speaking engagement?
No. Media appearances? No. And to an introvert like Shonda, who describes
herself as 'hugging the walls' at social events and experiencing panic attacks
before press interviews, there was a particular benefit to saying no: nothing
new to fear. Then came Thanksgiving 2013, when Shonda's sister Delorse muttered
six little words at her: You never say yes to anything. Profound, impassioned
and laugh-out-loud funny, in Year of Yes Shonda Rhimes reveals how saying YES
changed - and saved - her life. And inspires readers everywhere to change their
own lives with one little word: Yes.
My Review
This book is pure inspiration with huge dallops of humor
thrown in. Ms. Rhimes did a wonderful job of sharing her year of yes. Her
growth into a person she was destined to become. Such a fantastic read that I
extended the time it took me to read it because I didn’t want it to end. And
yet when it did, I was so happy for all that she’d accomplished.
With a little courage on my end, I may just be following her
example.
I give this five out of five podium shaped chocolate bars.
I purchased my copy from AmazonUK.
