By: Dan Lyons

Narrated by: Dan Lyons

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.

Good concepts but left skewed

Good concepts but too political. Was looking for good social concepts not a left leaning rant.

Extremely helpful

Thank you so very much. This information applied will change my life for the better. It already has. I had bought the idea of having a snappy comeback was the answer but only in a smarter way.

easy to follow

necessary book for better relationships and for our inner growth and more importantly our peace

Very relevant book in this cult of personality era

The book covers a very relevant topic. The author sometimes show some notable political left bias, but if you can tolerate that, you can get good insights about talking less and listening more. Overall, it’s not the best work from Dan Lyons, but still a good reading. It was worth the credit I used.

If it costs you your peace, it’s too expensive.

How I wanted more peace in my life and this book provided me the clarity that I needed. STFU. Wish I would’ve learned this when I was still employed. Very relevant to what’s going on these days and the main reason we’re in the mess that were in.
