Gossip: The Temptation and Tolls
Manage episode 374552911 series 2994857
Why do we gossip and what is the impact of gossip on us and the people around us?
In this episode, Vipin, Michael, and Hari Prasada examine why the topic of gossip is applicable to all of us, what we “achieve” when we engage in gossip, and the subtle and not-so-subtle costs that we pay when we do it. They give us actionable next steps to help us understand what is going on inside us when we gossip and how to choose a way of communicating that will create healthier relationships.
