Shonda Rhimes Libri
Questa autrice, celebre creatrice e produttrice esecutiva di diversi programmi televisivi innovativi, rivela in quest'opera commovente e umoristica come il dire 'sì' abbia trasformato la sua vita. Nonostante la sua immagine pubblica che evoca personaggi audaci e sicuri di sé, lei affrontava privatamente l'introversione e la paura delle apparizioni pubbliche. Le sue memorie narrano un percorso dall'evitare eventi sociali e obblighi mediatici all'accettare una sfida annuale per dire sì a tutto ciò che la spaventava. Questa trasformazione le ha insegnato ad abbracciare nuove esperienze, a dare priorità al suo benessere e a scoprire il suo vero io, raggiungendo un livello di autoefficacia paragonabile a quello delle sue stesse figure iconiche.
In this poignant and humorous memoir, Hollywood's most powerful woman, the creator of iconic shows like Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal, shares how saying YES transformed her life—and how it can change yours. Despite her success, Shonda Rhimes, an introvert, avoided public appearances and suffered from anxiety before interviews. Before her transformative Year of Yes, she often declined invitations, using her busy schedule as an excuse, but also out of fear—fear of social faux pas and live television mishaps. Her life revolved around work, her children, and comfort food until a comment from her sister on Thanksgiving 2013 ignited a change: "You never say yes to anything." This realization propelled Shonda to embrace a challenge: for one year, she would say YES to everything that scared her. The memoir explores her life before and after this pivotal year, highlighting her nerdy childhood, her commitment to creating diverse characters, and her journey of self-discovery. As she stepped out of her comfort zone—appearing on shows and giving speeches—she learned to prioritize her health and embrace her true self. This candid account reveals how Shonda Rhimes, an unexpected introvert, achieved personal empowerment and how you can too.

Shonda Rhimes schreibt Drehbücher für die erfolgreichsten Serien: Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice und How to Get Away with Murder sind auch hierzulande Publikumsrenner. Bloß beim Drehbuch für ihr eigenes Leben fehlt ihr der nötige Schwung: Privat ist sie schüchtern, ängstlich, menschenscheu. Bis sie eines Tages beschließt, sich zu ändern. Mit einem fi lmreifen Trick: einfach ein Jahr lang zu allem Ja sagen. Ebenso witzig und selbstironisch wie ihre TV-Serien und zugleich schonungslos ehrlich beschreibt Rhimes die große Wirkung eines kleinen Wortes, das aus ihr einen neuen Menschen macht – glücklich, selbstbewusst und 60 Kilo leichter. Die wahrscheinlich unterhaltsamste und motivierendste Aufforderung, das eigene Leben mutiger zu gestalten!
