Description

Swearing, as it turns out, is an extremely useful part of our linguistic repertoire. Not only has there been some form of swearing since the earliest humans began to communicate, but it has been proven to reduce physical pain, help stroke victims regain their language, and encourage cooperation among people.

The book "Swearing Is Good For You" is a lively and humorous defense of our most beloved "dirty" words, supported by historical studies and modern research. From chimpanzees making up their own swear words to a man who lost half his brain in a mining accident and felt a new urge to swear, Dr. Emma Byrne explores the fascinating science behind swearing: how it affects us physically and emotionally, and why it is more natural and beneficial than we think.
