Whether it's a soothing bedtime read or a leisurely binge, these stories forge a lasting connection and contribute to a social impact through the power of meaningful conversations.Welcome to the Stories with a Sunday Roast community.I am so glad you have joined us.________________________________________________________________________________________________ Extract from the Foreward by Kim White (Global Media Publisher) As a publisher of hundreds of projects personally and founder of a global media business, I am always attentive to great stories and those that tell them. When I heard Linda Bonney, the first time, speaking in such a colorful way about her own curiosity as a little girl walking down Doyle Avenue with her dad and how her mind was filled with so many questions about the people behind the doors, she definitely caught my attention. Her love of people, intriguing conversations, and magnificent storytelling drew me in even deeper. This book was born from behind-the-scenes interviews with amazing humans from across the globe. Linda turned those vulnerable conversations into a storyline for the Stories With a Sunday Roast Podcast but she didn't stop there. Adding her quirkiness and flare, she began weaving and intertwining her own life experiences with those of her guests. She has painted the pictures so well with her words that the smells from each set of stories seem to be wafting through the pages.>This book, while crafted from true stories, entertains by transporting you and me to other times and far away places, and yet brilliantly creates the delicious feeling we are all home together.

The polished, the smooth, the impeccable, are the hallmark of our time. They are what Jeff Koons sculptures, smartphones and waxing have in common. These qualities highlight the current "excess of positivity" that Han speaks of in other essays, but that he focuses on and develops here in the field of art and aesthetics. Why do you like "polished" so much today? Because it does not damage, it offers no resistance. The digital beauty constitutes the space of the same, which does not tolerate any strangeness, any otherness, any negativity. Beauty is not a momentary brilliance nor is it found in immediate contact; shines in silence, through detours; it happens as a reunion and recognition.
