Carl Allen

In Yes Man, Carl Allen challenges himself to say "yes" to every question posed to him for one whole year. The character is based on a book by Danny Wallace from July 2005, in which the author describes how he spent six months "saying yes where once would have said no." The goal? To make his life more interesting and positive.
