Year of Yes

In which Shonda Rhimes talks about learning to say yes. Yes to events. Yes to compliments. Yes to badassery. Yes to being confident. Yes to being happy.

Speaking for myself, I don't watch any of her shows. I have never seen an episode of any of her bigger shows (though I did see How To Get Away With Murder and a few of The Catch), but I do know of her and admire her for all the work she does, so this was still pretty interesting to me. The parts I loved the most were the taped speeches (which you probably don't get with the physical book or the ebook) and some parts really wanted me to get more out there and not be afraid to be myself.

She tends to not get to the point easily, and she talks around it a lot, and while that can get frustrating after a while, it's also in a way part of the charm. The book feels more like a (albeit very one-sided) conversation than anything else. Loved it.
