The brain benefits of self-disclosure, the costs of staying silent, and how to know what to reveal and when.

Leslie John is the James E. Burke Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School. Her new book is called Revealing: The Underrated Power of Oversharing.

In this episode we talk about:

• Why self-disclosure can feel risky but is often socially rewarding
• The psychological and physiological costs of keeping secrets
• How putting feelings into words can reduce rumination and anxiety
• Why validation is often more helpful than advice
• Why undersharing leads to missed opportunities in relationships, work, and life
