Would our lives, relationships and careers be better if we just STFU for a while? We live in a world that doesn’t just encourage overtalking, but practically demands it. When success is measured by how much attention we can attract, how long we can hold on to the mic, it’s no wonder that we feel compelled to spout endlessly on Twitter, to document every detail of our lives on Instagram, start that podcast, or lead that conference.And yet, oddly enough, the most powerful and accomplished people in the world aren’t part of that chorus—they’re reserved, they listen, and when they do speak they’re considered. Tim Cook, President Obama, the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg all have seemed to understand the secret golden rule: talk less, get more. There are entire industries designed to help us amplify our voices, experts who are just dying to coach us on how to talk better, but nobody is teaching us how to STFU for a while.Former Forbes journalist Dan Lyons takes us on a sharp, funny, fascinating deep dive through our incessant noise-making – talking to communications experts, neuroscientists, psychiatrists and Silicon Valley executive coaches the world over to understand the science and culture behind why we can’t stop talking, and how ultimately we can learn to speak less – and with more intention – to improve our lives.

Dan Lyons resigned as dean of Gonzaga University in Spokane to become the free world’s leading advocate of winning the war in Vietnam, visiting seventeen times between 1963 and 1975. His five hundred daily radio and television broadcasts, plus his nationwide weekly columns and debates on college campuses, reached millions every week for twelve years. In this book, he presents a brilliant exposé of why we lost the war—and why and how we should have won.
No one is more adept at putting Vietnam in perspective. This is America’s Malcolm Muggeridge at his best.

Dan Lyons was Technology Editor at Newsweek Magazine for years, a magazine writer at the top of his profession. One Friday morning he received a phone call: his job no longer existed. Fifty years old and with a wife and two young kids, Dan was unemployed and facing financial oblivion. Then an idea hit. Dan had long reported on Silicon Valley and the tech explosion. Why not join it? HubSpot, a Boston start-up, was flush with $100 million in venture capital. They offered Dan a pile of stock options for the nebulous role of "marketing fellow." What could possibly go wrong? What follows is a hilarious and excoriating account of Dan's time at the start-up and a revealing window onto the dysfunctional culture that prevails in a world flush with cash and devoid of experience. Filled with stories of meaningless jargon, teddy bears at meetings, push-up competitions and all-night parties, this uproarious tale is also a trenchant analysis of the dysfunctional start-up world, a de facto conspiracy between those who start companies and those who fund them. It is a world where bad ideas are rewarded with hefty investments, where companies blow money lavishing perks on their post-collegiate workforces, and where everybody is trying to hang on just long enough to cash out with a fortune.

Guardian's Best Non-Fiction, 2019The Tablet's Highlights of 2019Personality tests. Team-building exercises. Forced Fun. Desktop surveillance. Open-plan offices. Acronyms. Diminishing job security. Hot desking. Pointless perks. Hackathons.If any of the above sound familiar, welcome to the modern economy. In this hilarious, but deadly serious book, bestselling author Dan Lyons looks at how the world of work has slowly morphed from one of unions and steady career progression to a dystopia made of bean bags and unpaid internships. And that's the 'good' jobs...With the same wit that made Disrupted an international bestseller, Lyons shows how the hypocrisy of Silicon Valley has now been exported globally to a job near you. Even low-grade employees are now expected to view their jobs with a cult-like fervour, despite diminishing prospects of promotion. From the gig economy to the new digital oligarchs, Lyons deliciously roasts the new work climate, while asking what can be done to recoup some sanity and dignity for the expanding class of middle-class serfs.

Durante veinticinco años, Dan Lyons fue redactor de Newsweek hasta que un viernes por la mañana recibió una llamada: su trabajo ya no existía. «Quieren contratar a gente más joven», le dijeron. Con cincuenta años, esposa y dos niños pequeños, estaba jodido. Pero le vino una idea a la cabeza: había escrito mucho sobre Silicon Valley y la explosión tecnológica, ¿por qué no unirse?Pronto contactó con HubSpot, una startup de Boston y le ofrecieron muchas acciones a cambio de aceptar un extraño rol: «asociado de marketing». ¿Qué podía salir mal? Los HubSpotters eran verdaderos creyentes: estaban haciendo del mundo un lugar mejor… vendiendo spam.El ambiente de la oficina era una mezcla entre una fraternidad universitaria y una secta: las fiestas duraban hasta bien entrada la noche, las cabinas de las duchas eran guaridas donde tener sexo, un «club de flexiones» se reunía a mediodía en el vestíbulo, mientras en la «fábrica de contenidos» otros jugaban a pegarse tiros en un videojuego.Y en medio de todo esto estaba Lyons, con el doble de edad del empleado promedio de HubSpot, sentado en su escritorio sobre una pelota hinchable que se suponía que era su silla. Pero este libro va más allá de HubSpot. Es una historia sobre lo que es tratar de reinventarse y comenzar una nueva carrera a los cincuenta años, en una industria hostil a los trabajadores mayores.

Una llamada de atención muy necesaria para un mundo en el que el ruido constante nos está volviendo locos a todos, y en el que la mejor manera de sobrellevarlo es aprender a callarse de una puta vez.Aprender a hablar menos, escuchar más y hablar con intención puede hacerte más feliz, más sano, más exitoso y mejor padre/madre y pareja. En STFU, Dan describe su propio viaje para superar su forma compulsiva de hablar, que implicó escarbar en montañas de investigación y entrevistar a innumerables expertos, incluidos científicos, historiadores, un ex oficial de casos de la CIA y un investigador que ha estado descubriendo conexiones asombrosas que muestran cómo el habla está conectada con nuestro bienestar físico y emocional. Basándose en esa investigación, Dan desarrolló una serie de prácticas que cambiaron su vida y pueden cambiar la tuya también.Nuestro ruidoso mundo nos ha enseñado a pensar que los que dicen la última palabra son los que ganan, cuando en realidad son los que saben guardar silencio los que realmente tienen el poder. STFU es un libro que desbloquea este poder, liberándote para centrarte en lo que importa. Lyons combina la ciencia del comportamiento más avanzada con consejos prácticos sobre cómo comunicarse con intención, pensar de forma crítica y abrir la mente y los oídos al mundo que le rodea.Habla menos, consigue más. De eso trata STFU. Prescriptivo, informativo y de lectura adictiva, STFU te da las herramientas para convertirte en tu mejor yo, ya sea en la oficina, en casa, en Internet o en tus relaciones más preciadas. Porque, al fin y al cabo, lo que dices es lo que eres.Así que respira hondo, pasa la página y cambia tu vida en silencio."Entretenido, esclarecedor e inspirador. Más que un libro, es un anuncio de servicio público que todos haríamos bien en escuchar". -Sarah Knight, autora de Calm the F*ck Down, bestseller del New York Times."Lyons se abre paso entre el ruido incluso cuando lo critica. Oportuno, inteligente e importante. ¿Hace falta decir más? (Probablemente no)".- David Litt, ex redactor de discursos del presidente Barack Obama y autor del bestseller del New York Times Gracias, Obama.
