The queen of TGIT, Shonda Rhimes is the genius mind behind some of the most binge-worthy shows, including Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, and Private Practice, as well as How to Get Away With Murder and The Catch, of which she is the executive producer. Yet despite her astronomical success, the award-winning founder of Shondaland struggled with self-confidence, suffered from stage fright, was prone to panic attacks, and used her work to hide her introversion. In her funny, honest, and poignant memoir Year of Yes, Shonda challenges herself to say yes to everything for one year, including delivering a commencement speech at her alma mater, doing a guest spot on The Mindy Project, and meeting Oprah. Her journey also led to her subsequent weight loss of over 100 pounds, a balance between work and family, and a happiness that gave her the power to believe in herself.
