Synopsis
"I, Danny Wallace, being of sound mind and body, do hereby write this manifesto for my life. I swear I will be more open to opportunity. I swear I will live my life taking every available chance. I will say Yes to every favour, request, suggestion and invitation. I will swear to say yes where once i would say no.' Danny Wallace had been staying in. Far too much. Having been dumped by his girlfriend, he really wasn't doing the young, free and single thing very well. Instead, he was avoiding people. Texting them instead of calling them. Calling them instead of meeting them. That is until that one fateful date when a mystery man on a late-night bus told him to 'Say Yes more'. These three simple words changed Danny's life forever. "Yes Man" is the story of what happened when Danny decided to say yes to everything, in order to make his life more interesting. And boy, did it get more interesting. "Danny Wallace does things few other people would and writes about them in ways that few people could. He's as funny as Bill Bryson used to be." - Nicholas Barber, "Independent on Sunday".

Amazing read
Very impressive book, not a deep book but anyone who writes a review on a book written by a comedian saying that its not deep enough is obviously not thinking about the books they buy. This book is an utter triumph and a great advert for positivity and grabbing life and living it! I'd give it 100 stars if I could!

An inspiration
Without doubt the single most inspiring book I have EVER read! After reading it, I bought a copy for every friend/ family member who had a birthday approaching and lent my copy to 3 more people. I'm not one to gush, but this book will change your life. Within 6 months of reading it, I was able to list 3 ways in which my life was improved and I'm not talking about the little things, but major stuff like my job, my health, my plans for the future....

Not only will this book change your life, but it will also give you a really good laugh! Buy it.

Laugh out loud funny
A friend gave me this book to cheer me up. I was dubious. I'm not always a fan of 'funny' books, as humour can be such a personal thing. Thankfully she was right and I was wrong. This really did make me laugh out loud.

Danny tries to stop being so negative by listening to a man on a bus who tells him that he should say 'yes' more. As to be expected from a man who co-wrote and helped in the mayhem that was 'Are You Dave Gorman', Danny takes it to extremes and decides to say yes to absolutely everything in his life.

My favourite part of the whole book is the episode where he ends up in Amsterdam with a picture of him and his imaginary dog. I won't tell you any more because it will spoil the surprise, so now you have to go and read it.

BRILLIANT!!
honestly one of my favourite books of all time. Really changed my attitude to be even more positive, and do things that you may not particularly feel like doing, cos it will usually be brilliant. inspiring, and all round brilliant. can't recommend it enough.

Could only manage twenty pages....
because I was utterly bored and frustrated by this book. It is so self indulgent as not to be believed. I just didn't find it funny. Maybe cos I am not a bloke (it's blokey all right). How he could fill a whole book up with this scenario beggars belief. I was sick of me me me me me me and me, not doing much, getting paid lots for it. Yawn.
