It’s not self-help, either – even though Rhimes offers a lot of advice and wisdom gleaned from what she’s done. ![]() It’s not a memoir, exactly – even though it’s told through the frame of Rhimes’ experiment. She’s now written this book, Year Of Yes, about her experience. She embraced the challenge and decided to go against all her better instincts, to spend the year saying YES. Well, you can’t lay down a gauntlet like that in front of a powerhouse like Rhimes. Then, while cooking Thanksgiving dinner in 2013, her sister said something to her, something Rhimes calls the “six startling words”: you never say yes to anything. But the truth was, actually, she was too afraid. As a show-runner for multiple Big Time Mega Hit Must-Watch shows, and a single mother to three kids, no one ever doubted her when she said she was “too busy”. Really, Rhimes said “no” to everything as a way of hiding from things that terrified her (can’t we all relate, just a little bit?). ![]() (And yes, I am an affiliate, which means I’ll earn a small commission from any sales made through links on this page.) ![]()
