Leslie John is a behavioral scientist and researcher. During an appearance on The Jordan Harbinger Show, she discussed her book Revealing and highlighted several of its practical elements.

John also drew upon research she conducted for the book when discussing emotional expressivity in children, specifically regarding boys. Furthermore, she referred to an experience she recounted in the text where she made an edgy joke that caused people to cringe, using the personal anecdote to illustrate how awkward disclosures and initial misfires can ultimately lead to building lasting relationships and close mentors over time.
