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.

I ordered this book just before my 34th birthday. 34 will be my year of YES.Thank you Shonda
I enjoyed this look into Shonda Rhimes life. I found it humorous, realistic and genuine. It should be read by many. I had a smile on my face most of the time while reading 📚 ☺️
Whether you’re feeling stuck, burned out, or just in need of a nudge, this book delivers. It’s not preachy, it’s honest, deeply personal, and motivating in a way that lingers long after the last page.Highly recommended for anyone ready to reclaim their voice, step into their power, and live unapologetically.
A great read and inspiring transformation. Shonda’s profound impact on diversity in TV is amazing and makes me want to watch her shows. Many aspects of her personal life stood out to me in a great way - like having her “Ride or Die” family and friends, embracing humor and dancing, being very honest with herself, etc.
