We talk. We text. We email. We might even Tweet and post on Facebook and Instagram. But too often we are just skimming the surface of our lives.
There are many benefits to spending time reflecting on your life through a deeper conversation.
Here is our interview with Cassie McCullagh, ABC Sydney, about our book The Sunday Story Club.
We would love others to engage in a deeper conversation by running their own story clubs.

THIS WRITER’S LIFE: Co-author Doris & I outside the ABC studios Melb. Great interview with Cassie McCullagh, Sydney.
We had time explain that The Sunday Story Club uses quirky questions to step outside the prepared narratives you often use to explain your life experiences. In this way, we learn about ourselves and others. These questions are intriguing to all ages.
THIS WRITER’S LIFE: So the #BookNinjas, who set books loose on Australian public transport for commuters to take, read & return, dropped The Sunday Story Club off at Kyneton Station, my home town! I wrote 3 books about growing up on the Police Station in Kyneton. That is amazing synergy!
Doris and I wrote THE SUNDAY STORY CLUB so others can discover the magic running their own salon. And the idea that a random commuter might stumble across this idea is heart-warming.
My co-author Doris Brett & I were overwhelmed with the enthusiasm for our book THE SUNDAY STORY CLUB (PanMac), @The Happiness Conference in Sydney on Mon. There seems to be a hunger out there for open and honest conversations. This is one theme of the book, which we wrote as an antidote to all those FAKE online personas. (Yes! Irony alert! I’m online here.)
Not only do we share stories from our salon, we also encourage and show you how to run your own salon to benefit from deeper connections with others.
Today The Australian has published an extract (The Story Club, SAT 22 JUN 2019) from my latest book, THE SUNDAY STORY CLUB (PanMacmillan), written with co-author Doris Brett.
Those bloody teacups. The photographer brought them with him. It should have been wine glasses.
