In this poignant, hilarious, and deeply intimate call to arms, Hollywoods most powerful woman, the mega-talented creator of Greys Anatomy and Scandal and executive producer of How to Get Away with Murder reveals how saying YES changed her life and how it can change yours too.

On Thanksgiving Day, 2013, Rhimes' sister told her: "You never say yes to anything." This became a wake-up call-- and a challenge. Rhimes details her one-year experiment with saying "yes" that transformed her life. She reveals how accepting unexpected invitations she would have otherwise declined enabled powerful benefits. When she learned to say yes to life, she learned to explore, empower, applaud, and love her truest self.

Review of 'Year of Yes' on 'Goodreads'

I've been making a concerted effort to listen to other types of voices in my reading, and I've been rewarded for that. I don't think I've ever read a book like this -- it felt more like a stream-of-consciousness, psychiatrist-couch, soul-bearing, therapeutic monologue. I found it funny, entertaining, insightful, revealing, and arresting, all at once. I felt honored by the peeks into her family, friendships, fears, and flaws.
