From the host of the award-winning podcast "On the Edge with Andrew Gold" comes "The Psychology of Secrets", a strange, fascinating, and shocking exploration into the psychology of secrecy.

We all keep secrets. 97% of us are hiding a secret right now, and on average, we keep thirteen secrets at once. There is a one in two chance that these secrets relate to trust breaches, lies, or financial immorality. They are the material of gossip, novels, and classic dramas. Secrets are a fundamental part of our hidden inner lives.

Podcaster Andrew Gold knows this better than anyone. As a public figure, he has found himself (involuntarily) receiving hundreds of the most private revelations from strangers. This gave him the insight to understand this critical part of our societies and lives. Why do we keep secrets? Why are we fascinated by the secrets of others? What happens in our minds when we confess?

Based on psychology, history, social science, philosophy, and personal interviews, "The Psychology of Secrets" is an enjoyable journey through the history of secrecy, bringing us close to cult leaders, murderers, psychopaths - and even you.
