Gossip

the long version

The key to happiness lies in peaceful relationships with others. And often the key to peaceful relationships lies in watching our words. Gossip presents simple rules to guide us on what to say and what not to say in every situation, drawn from the ancient wisdom of Jewish sages - presented in a way that is immediately relevant to contemporary American life. There is no need to analyze yourself endlessly, nor to learn how to manipulate other people, either for their own good or yours. Learning to identify and avoid improper gossip, while making your words a source of comfort and reassurance to your friends and loved ones, is all it takes.
