About this listen
What’s the real story behind every teardrop?
From silent sobs behind closed doors to public displays of grief—or joy—tears have always been part of the human story. Yet few of us pause to ask: Why do we really cry? In this gentle, thought-provoking exploration, JD Arden peels back the myths and science to reveal the true power of tears.
Why are humans the only creatures to shed emotional tears? What do our cultures, families, and histories teach us about who is allowed to weep? Are all tears the same, or do some bring healing while others signal pain?
Arden’s journey moves from the biology of crying and the poetry of heartbreak to the laughter-soaked eyes at weddings, the quiet dignity of hidden tears, and the aching silence when the tears just won’t come. Along the way, you’ll meet stoic heroes, shamed mourners, world-class actors, and ordinary people learning to honor their deepest vulnerabilities.
Blending science, story, and philosophy with JD Arden’s signature warmth and wit, Tears: Why Do We Really Cry? is both a comfort and a revelation—a book for anyone who has ever wiped their eyes and wondered what it means to feel so much.
If you’ve ever cried (or wished you could), this book is for you.
