Revealing: the surprising power of oversharing
John, Leslie.
Revealing: the surprising power of oversharing - New York Penguin Random House 2026 - 304p.
Includes index
A growing body of research shows we vastly underestimate the value of oversharing, with our spouses, friends, colleagues and even strangers. Vulnerability and openness can unlock some of life’s richest rewards: deeper friendships, stronger professional relationships, greater well-being and, yes, even love.
Drawing on over a decade of research and real-life stories, here behavioural scientist Leslie John explores why we hesitate to open up, when sharing really does backfire, and how to strike a balance between too much and too little.
