Shonda Rhimes

In this poignant, hilarious and deeply intimate call to arms, Hollywood's most powerful woman, the mega-talented creator of Grey's Anatomy and Scandal and executive producer of How to Get Away with Murder and Catch, reveals how saying YES changed her life - and how it can change yours too. With three hit shows on television and three children at home, Shonda Rhimes had lots of good reasons to say no when invitations arrived. Hollywood party? No. Speaking engagement? No. Media appearances? No. And to an introvert like Shonda, who describes herself as 'hugging the walls' at social events and experiencing panic attacks before press interviews, there was a particular benefit to saying no: nothing new to fear. Then came Thanksgiving 2013, when Shonda's sister Delorse muttered six little words at her: You never say yes to anything. Profound, impassioned and laugh-out-loud funny, in Year of Yes Shonda Rhimes reveals how saying YES changed - and saved - her life. And inspires readers everywhere to change their own lives with one little word: Yes.

Year of Yes

Julia Quinn

From No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn and television pioneer Shonda Rhimes comes a powerful and romantic novel of Bridgerton's Queen Charlotte and King George III's great love story and how it sparked a societal shift, inspired by the original series Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, created by Shondaland for Netflix. 'We are one crown. His weight is mine, and mine is his . . .' In 1761, on a sunny day in September, a King and Queen met for the very first time. They were married within hours. Born a German Princess, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was beautiful, headstrong, and fiercely intelligent . . . not precisely the attributes the British Court had been seeking in a spouse for the young King George III. But her fire and independence were exactly what she needed, because George had secrets . . . secrets with the potential to shake the very foundations of the monarchy. Thrust into her new role as a royal, Charlotte must learn to navigate the intricate politics of the court . . . all the while guarding her heart, because she is falling in love with the King, even as he pushes her away. Above all she must learn to rule, and to understand that she has been given the power to remake society. She must fight - for herself, for her husband, and for all her new subjects who look to her for guidance and grace. For she will never be just Charlotte again. She must instead fulfil her destiny . . . as Queen.

The stunning, full-color, behind-the-scenes look at Shondaland’s hit series on Netflix. Inside Bridgerton is the intimate behind-the-scenes story of the hit Shondaland series on Netflix. Shondaland executive producers Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers offer exclusive insights, and introduce you to the series writers, producers, directors, cast, crew, and talented creatives who brought Julia Quinn’s beloved novels to the screen. Full-color and beautifully designed, Inside Bridgerton is the official book about the show, and includes never-before-seen photographs, firsthand accounts on casting, insight into the decisions behind the costumes and sets, directors’ accounts on filming your favorite scenes, and more from the creative minds that launched a cultural phenomenon. From the Introduction to Inside Bridgerton: SHONDA: Shall we take everyone back to the beginning? Not to the 1800s, but to 2017 and that hotel room where I was sick, and needed something to read, and there happened to be a copy of The Duke & I by Julia Quinn, the first of the Bridgerton novels. I’m not someone who was into romance novels—I really didn’t even know much about the genre. But I picked it up, couldn’t put it down, and then immediately got my hands on the rest of them because they were a fabulous read. And then I passed them to you. BETSY: I thought you might have hit your head in the hotel room when you had the flu. Romance novels? But you insisted that they would be a fabulous show and you have excellent taste. I was deeply skeptical because I hadn’t read a romance novel since I was a teen—I’d certainly never read a period romance novel. SHONDA: Totally—you read the ones of the 1980s, when everyone wore huge shoulder pads and diamonds. BETSY: Right. So there’s some continuity here because these guys were wearing diamonds, too. SHONDA: Fair—but as far as a period romance, I mean, if it wasn’t Jane Austen, I didn’t really know about it. I’m not going to diss Jane Austen because I’m not an idiot… BETSY: She might get upset. SHONDA: She might roll over in her grave. But Julia Quinn’s novels were just so much juicier than Austen, and they’re written by someone who was far less confined and less proper. After all, Julia is a modern woman, not stuck in the constraints of the age. BETSY: Without a doubt. And I never knew that the ton existed: Austen wrote about a pastoral society where everyone is in relatively drab clothes and spent a lot of time in chapels and churches. SHONDA: Totally. And they recycled their dresses more. BETSY: Meanwhile, this was an amazing world of luxury and excess. And she had this crazy device of a gossip columnist, pulling the strings, which was such a cool concept. Julia Quinn created an entirely new, glamorous, bright world that you had actually never seen before.

Inside Bridgerton

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. Con l'ironia e la profondità che caratterizzano la sua scrittura, Shonda ci invita a seguirla in un vero cammino di conoscenza di sé e autoliberazione per guardarsi dentro e diventare così la propria persona. E, raccontandosi in modo trasparente e sincero, rivela tanti segreti e aneddoti sui suoi personaggi più amati e sui loro interpreti, primi tra tutti quelli di Grey's Anatomy.

Ceea ce vezi în tine însuți poți vedea în ceilalți și ceea ce ceilalți văd în tine pot vedea și în ei înșiși. - Shonda Rhimes O lume întreagă a urmărit Anatomia lui Grey, serialul care ne-a fascinat și ne-a ținut cu ochii lipiți de ecran ore în șir. Însă aici, Shonda Rhimes nu scrie un scenariu de film, ci mai mult decât atât: povestea unui an din viața ei în care s-a hotărât să spună DA tuturor lucrurilor la care mai înainte reacționa prin teamă, izolare, ba chiar prin atacuri de panică. Anul lui DA a însemnat pentru Shonda o călătorie interioară plină de provocări. S-a luptat cu anxietatea și a învins-o. Și-a propus să slăbească și a reușit. Nu s-a mai ascuns în spatele scuzelor și al minciunilor. A acceptat că uneori, cel mai sănătos este să renunți – fie că este vorba despre oameni sau despre ambiții. Și-a redescoperit frumusețea și feminitatea. Despre toate aceste experiențe Shonda povestește cu căldură și generozitate, oferindu-le celor dornici de schimbare încrederea și curajul de care au nevoie pentru a-și regăsi acel sine echilibrat care se ascunde în fiecare.
