Proxy with Yowei Shaw

So many tears but what do they say?


Listen Later

We all know that moment - when you feel like you need to cry in front of other people, but don't want to cry. In this episode, Yowei talks to Heather Christle, the author of The Crying Book, to parse what’s happening in that moment, what tears are saying and how we should respond to them. 

 

From the episode:

  • Heather Christle's The Crying Book
  • Heather's new book In the Rhododendrums: A Memoir with Appearances by Virginia Wolf
  • Follow Heather on  X and Instagram @heatherchristle
  • The Thai Life Insurance commercial from our crying experiment
