Join Leon, a psychologist, for a fascinating discussion as we explore the psychology of gossip. We’ll dive into why gossip is so pervasive across cultures, how it influences our relationships, and whether it’s an essential part of social bonding or a force that can undermine trust and harmony. What does it reveal about our desires for connection, belonging, and power—and what can it teach us about the complexities of human interaction?_x000D_ _x000D_ Together, we’ll examine the neurological and psychological effects of gossip, from the brain's response to hearing or spreading rumours, to the impact it has on our emotions, behaviour, and sense of self.
