Yes Man
(Danny Wallace)
Danny Wallace is a British writer, broadcaster, philosopher and general all-round nice guy. Yes Man is his account of how saying one little word can change your life. Followingthe successful mission to start his own cult, whereby he set loose a whole army of good samaritans hell bent on commitng ROAK(Random Acts Of Kindness)Wallace feels his lfe has become rather dull. Turning down nights out, holidays and splitting up with his long-suffering girlfriend has led him to become something of a recluse, determined to avoid interaction with other in favour of nights in, lots of pottering and unhealthy amounts of tea. Wallace feels that his life is stagnating but, worryingly, this thought doesn't seem to bother him. Then, one night, aconversation with a mate at the pub gives Wallace an idea - to say yes.To everything. Cue double glazing cold callers, penis patches, winning ¢25,000,credit card applications, lots of curry, a fake Sultan of Oman, loosing £25,000,and being chased by lizards in Singapore. From protesting for peace on the streets of London to finding love in Australia,Yes Man can teach us all that even day to day life can bemade a whole lot more exitingby putting a positive spin on things. Wallace conveys his experiences for the year of his life that he spent saying yes in a hilarious and thought provoking way that will leave you wanting to change yourself and the world around you for the better. Yes Man is a true testiment to how taking on a more positive approach to life can change everything,creating the kind ofmemories that make you smile to yourself as you walk to work in the rain on a Monday morning.
