Sinossi
Shonda Rhimes è una delle donne più potenti della tv americana e una star globale. Dalla sua penna sono nate serie tv di culto come "Grey's Anatomy". "Scandal" e "Private Practice", capaci di inchiodare davanti allo schermo milioni di telespettatori. Eppure Shonda, madre di tre figli, è anche una persona profondamente introversa, con le stesse insicurezze e i sensi di colpa di tante donne che ogni giorno cercano di far quadrare i conti tra lavoro, famiglia e vita sentimentale. Per questo dire istintivamente di no e rifugiarsi nella propria comfort zone è sempre stata la scelta più facile. Un cocktail party alla Casa Bianca? No, grazie. Tenere un discorso davanti a 10.000 laureandi nel suo ex college? Anche no. Una diretta televisiva nel salotto di Oprah Winfrey? Non se ne parla. Ma quando sua sorella Delorse le fa notare che "Tu non dici mai sì a niente", nella mente di Shonda prende forma l'Anno del sì. Un esperimento, una scommessa, una sfida con se stessa: per un anno dovrà affrontare tutto quello che le faceva paura, vincere la pigrizia, scoprire (e dialogare con) parti di sé che non aveva mai voluto vedere. Dire sì alle occasioni, sì ad ammettere di essere una madre imperfetta, sì al proprio corpo, sì alle persone che abbiamo intorno, sì alla gioia, sì alla vita.

Ok so I know this review is more of a personal vendetta than an actual reflection of the book itself, but I had to stop reading 5 minutes in when she criticized the idea of being "a quiet librarian in Ohio." As an actual quiet librarian living in Ohio, all I have to say is: what's wrong with that?!
Honestly, this book could've have been 150 pages. She repeats herself SOOOOOOO much. Did you know she's a writer? She is. She's a writer. She makes stuff up for a living, cuz guess what? She's a writer. Although the focus of the book is purportedly about how Shonda Rhimes finds a way to love herself Leggi tutto
"Year of Yes" by Shonda Rhimes is how 'YES' changed her life! I watched Shonda Rhimes' Ted Talk about her "Year of Yes" a little bitty while ago. I became curious-er and curious-er as to why on earth she would do something as crazy as that. Jeez! Can you imagine saying yes to everything for an entire Leggi tutto
It was OK - it wasn't what I expected it to be.... an inspiring tale of someone taking on the world with one simple response to any question - "YES!". It was sadly more egotistical and focused around a handful of experiences within that year - no doubt profound to Shonda, but not thoroughly inspirin Leggi tutto
I wasn't going to say anything about this book because I abandoned it. Then the publisher advertised it on my Facebook feed, inviting my comments. I left a negative comment based on what I read, which the publisher then deleted. So here goes. The self-indulgent twaddle in this book became nauseous ea Leggi tutto
Shonda Rhimes' heartfelt memoir about the power of embracing who you are and having the courage to set aside what you are not. Though outwardly successful, Shonda was miserable. Between over-working and her introverted tendencies, she turned down every invitation and social event. The ones that she w Leggi tutto
Dear Ms. Shonda Rhimes, I want to be your friend. You don't know me but I want to be your friend. Since I'm requesting a friendship I should start by being honest first. I'm sorry but I've never watch any of your show. And I have to apology again since I will unlikely watch them in the future. It's
I hated this book. HATED IT. Did you hear me? Hated. It. (For those who have not read the book, that is the writing style she overuses throughout.) Shonda Rhimes describes herself as an introvert who uses wine to get through difficult social situations. She turns down invitations because she's terri Leggi tutto
