Sunday Paper Recommends—Week of February 26, 2023

At The Sunday Paper, we want to inspire you to gather at your table—virtually or with friends and family—and open your heart and mind to conversations that will move the needle. After all, the dinner table is where we connect on topics and map out the changes we can all make that’ll truly make an impact.

This week, to encourage your conversations, we recommend checking out the following:

What We're Reading

Different animals, including us, have our unique sensory connection to the immense world. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ed Yong takes you on a voyage to discover how other creatures make sense of the world and keep up with the unsolved mysteries in his New York Times bestseller An Immense World.

What We're Watching

As human beings, we are biologically wired to connect. In fact, science tells us that our need for meaningful human connection is as fundamental as our need for food and water. If you’d like to create stronger, more fulfilling connections with your partner, friends, family members, and work colleagues to enhance the quality of your life, we hope you’ll join Maria and some of the greatest minds like Ashley Judd in Radically Reframing Relationships. Get a sneak peek of the summit below and on Maria's YouTube chanel, and you can purchase the recordings here.

What We're Listening To

How to become a successful entrepreneur? Our Sunday Paper family Patrick Schwarzenegger shares his journey from being an angel investor to co-founding MOSH during the pandemic with Maria on Patrick J. McGinnis’ podcast FOMO Sapiens. Want to know Patrick’s secret to identifying promising startups and balancing his business and acting career? You can listen to the episode here.

What We're Excited About

Compassion is unconditional, pure, and spontaneously arising. Self-compassion can help you cope with challenges and build resilience.
