Description
In this 10th Anniversary Edition, Shonda Rhimes, executive producer of Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, Bridgerton, Queen Charlotte, and more, not only revisits her galvanizing New York Times bestseller but gives readers an extraordinary cache of brand-new stories that showcase the continuing power that saying YES has had on her life.
In Shonda’s own words: “This book is the same as before, but it also is not. It is brand-new. It has changed. Transformed. Evolved. Grown. Just like me.”
In 2015, Shonda Rhimes, the trailblazing creative force behind some of television’s most beloved series, took on a challenge that would change her life forever. She decided to say yes to everything for a year, and the results were exhilarating. Hailed as “honest, raw, and revelatory” (The Washington Post) and “as fun to read as Rhimes’s TV series are to watch” (Los Angeles Times), Year of Yes quickly became a New York Times bestseller, captivating readers everywhere and inspiring them to undertake their own YES journeys.
In this celebratory and expanded anniversary edition, you’ll find more wildly candid and transformational chapters that reveal how the mega-talented Shonda, once a self-described introvert, achieved badassery worthy of a Shondaland character—and how you can, too.

5By motherof2bbThis 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.Refreshing

5By sweet-toastWow! 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!Year of yes is amazing
