There is something about a table.
We gather around one to celebrate. To disagree. To laugh. To grieve. To tell stories we’ve told a hundred times—and occasionally to say something we’ve never been able to say before.
For Rick Ross, those conversations have become part of a much larger story.
His forthcoming book, Sunday Dinner: Reflections on Love, Life, and Connection, is an invitation to consider the relationships, experiences, conversations, and moments that shape who we become.
It isn’t a book about having all the answers.
It’s about asking better questions.
It’s about listening.
It’s about understanding.
And perhaps most importantly, it’s about remembering that our lives are deeply connected to the lives of the people around us.
More Than Four Decades of Listening
Rick’s perspective wasn’t developed from theory alone.
His reflections have been shaped by decades spent listening to people—as a psychotherapist, executive leader, mentor, father, and human being.
Different settings. Different people. Different circumstances.
Yet many of the same questions kept appearing.
How do we understand ourselves?
Why are relationships sometimes so difficult?
How do we change?
What do we do with regret?
How do we navigate loss?
What makes some relationships endure?
How do we become better partners, parents, friends, mentors, and leaders?
And what happens when we finally become willing to have the conversations we’ve been avoiding?
Those questions sit at the heart of Sunday Dinner.
A Book About What Truly Matters
Sunday Dinner explores themes of love, life, family, relationships, personal growth, mentoring, and human connection.
Some reflections may comfort you.
Others may challenge you.
And some may remind you of a person, conversation, or moment you haven’t thought about in years.
That’s intentional.
This isn’t necessarily a book that asks to be rushed through from beginning to end.
It’s a book to leave nearby.
Return to it.
Think about it.
Talk about it.
Maybe even bring it to your own dinner table.
The Conversation Is Just Beginning
Over the coming weeks, we’ll share more from Rick about the ideas behind Sunday Dinner, the experiences that influenced it, and some of the questions the book invites us to consider.
We’ll also be opening opportunities for advance readers, book clubs, podcasts, interviews, and media conversations as publication approaches.
For now, there’s really only one thing left to say:
Pull up a chair.
Something meaningful is coming to the table.
