Summary
This program is read by the author.

'Lyons is an able narrator who brings self-deprecation and humor to parts that may lose their impact in print. His emphatic delivery is dynamic, and listeners may find themselves nodding along in agreement.'- Library Journal

New York Times bestselling author Dan Lyons is here to tell you—and don't take this the wrong way—that you really need to shut the f*ck up!

Our noisy world has trained us to think that those who get in the last word win, when in fact it’s those who know how to stay silent who really hold the power. STFU is a book that unlocks this power and will change your life, freeing you to focus on what matters. Lyons combines leading behavioral science with actionable advice on how to communicate with intent, think critically, and open your mind and ears to the world around you.

Talk less, get more. That’s what STFU is all about. Prescriptive, informative, and addictively readable, STFU gives you the tools to become your better self, whether that’s in the office, at home, online, or in your most treasured relationships. Because, after all, what you say is who you are.

So take a deep breath, press play, and quietly change your life.

A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.

I had hoped that I would learn something, anything from this book. There were no actual skills taught. Instead, there was an endless array of statistics and facts about random public and historical figures and how they don’t talk. I stayed with the book because I thought he would eventually get to the tips and tricks that would be helpful, but he didn’t. The info he gave was the basic knowledge everyone knows but no one follows: listen more than you talk, don’t be consumed by social media, and turn the other cheek when someone offends you. The final straw for me with this book was about half way through when he began dropping hints about his political beliefs and pushing his party through his message. Frequently giving opinions on people from opposing parties being terrible people and prime examples of people who over talk while speaking only highly of the people from his preferred party and how they are not over talkers. I personally don’t like it when anyone from any political side gives their opinions and tries to sway others by infusing it into their unrelated agenda or topic at hand so this was very off putting to me. My overall opinion is that this book was not worth the listen.
