STFU: The Power of Keeping Your Mouth Shut in an Endlessly Noisy World. Dan Lyons

The world encourages us to speak more, louder, more often. We are taught to think that those who have the last word win. Remember how much time and nerves we waste when “someone is wrong on the Internet.”
And what if the secret to success is the ability to remain silent? Dan Lyons shares his experience and research from leading communication experts, neuroscientists, social psychologists, psychiatrists, and Silicon Valley company bosses. All this to convincingly prove: control over words is power.
With humor and observation, he analyzes the phenomenon of excessive chatter and the obsessive need to speak up about the topic and without it. Why did Biden win the election when he learned to stop talking? Why has social media turned into “Hamlet’s monologues on methamphetamine”? How can you transform your career, relationships, and well-being by mastering the skill of “not talking at all”? In this book you will find answers on how to use words consciously - and become calmer, more productive, and more influential.
