Revealing: The Underrated Power of Oversharing (Leslie K. John)

£4.00

Revealing: The Underrated Power of Oversharing by Leslie K. John explores why people choose to reveal or conceal information and the surprising benefits of sharing more openly. Drawing on behavioural research, John shows that thoughtful “oversharing” can strengthen trust, deepen relationships, and improve communication. The book challenges the assumption that withholding information is always safer, suggesting that honest disclosure—when done carefully—often leads to stronger connection and understanding.

  • The ideas in Revealing align closely with the relational focus of GLAS practices. Tools such as the Daily Exchange encourage people to share perspectives and experiences openly, creating space for understanding rather than assumption.

    The book also reflects the importance of structured reflection found in GLAS. Through practices like Focus and Align, individuals step back to notice what is actually happening before deciding what needs to be expressed or addressed.

    Ultimately, both perspectives suggest that clarity and trust grow when communication becomes more intentional. When people share thoughtfully rather than withholding or reacting, conversations deepen and relationships strengthen.
