"A poppy, comprehensive look at an often taboo topic."
"Shit, this book is fascinating."
"In Swearing Is Good for You, Emma Byrne unearths an unorthodox body of research to reveal how swearing helps reduce pain and anxiety and can even bring people together. This fascinating debut is perfect for fans of Mary Roach."
"Engaging and conversational. . . . Byrne provides a refreshing, entertaining, instructive examination of a ‘surprisingly flexible part of a linguistic repertoire.’"
"Engaging and often irreverent. . . . Byrne’s style is conversational [and] entertaining."
