At The Sunday Paper, we often discover books, podcasts, films, and other works that spark inspiring change. This week, we are thrilled to turn over our recommends to our Sunday Paper PLUS readers! Our thanks to Jill, Shelley, and Nancy for their recommendations. We hope these suggestions encourage you to come together for meaningful conversations.
What Jill's Watching
15 Minutes of Shame, a 2021 HBO documentary co-executive produced and narrated by Monica Lewinsky, explores the deep emotional and societal impact of public shaming and cyberbullying in our digital world. Featuring powerful stories and insights from leading experts, the film challenges us to reflect on our role in a culture quick to cancel. It’s a timely, thought-provoking watch that reminds us of the humanity behind every headline. Thanks for the rec, Jill!
What Shelley’s Listening To
Looking for a new listen? Pivot episodes air every Tuesday and Friday, with tech journalist Kara Swisher and NYU Professor Scott Galloway breaking down the biggest stories in tech, business, and politics. Their bold takes, quick wit, and spirited back-and-forth make for a smart, no-nonsense listen that keeps you informed and thinking. Thank you, Shelley, for the recommendation!
What Nancy's Reading
I Just Wish I Had a Bigger Kitchen by Kate Strickler is a warm, honest invitation to let go of the lies that keep us chasing “more” and instead embrace the beauty of the life we already have. With humor, heart, and real-life wisdom, Strickler offers 10 mindset shifts that help us rethink home, motherhood, time, and contentment. A refreshing, grounded read for anyone ready to stop wishing and start living with joy. Thank you for recommendation, Nancy!
