As ENQUIRING minds already know – dishing dirt is GOOD!
Now even respected researchers have stepped up to praise gossip, calling it a “vital part of life” that can help us enjoy longer and happier lives.
“Gossip is what makes us human!” declared Robin Dunbar, professor of evolutionary psychology at England’s prestigious Oxford University.
“It allows us to pass on vital information about who to trust, and helps us bond with family and friends.”
Historian Yuval Noah Harari said: “The vast majority of human communication – whether in the form of emails, phone calls or newspaper columns – is gossip!”
A University of Michigan study also found gossiping shrinks anxiety and stress in women.
