In addition to being very funny it's also shows the power of being active in decisions.
For those not familiar with the premise, it's a true story where Danny Wallace was in a bit of a funk after the buzz of his previous book had died down and through a chance meeting on a bus with a guy and talking about what he was up to, the guy said "you need to say YES more". After all, YES opens possibilities while NO closes them. He sets himself the task of saying YES to everything for a day. No matter what he's asked, he says YES. And it goes on from there.
I met Danny Wallace at a bookreading, he is an absolutely lovely man. He let me participate a couple times in his show
