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.

An instant New York Times best seller, Dan Lyons' "hysterical" (Recode) memoir, hailed by the Los Angeles Times as "the best book about Silicon Valley," takes listeners inside the maddening world of fad-chasing venture capitalists, sales bros, social climbers, and sociopaths at today's tech startups.

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.

Personality 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 audiobook, best-selling 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....

Why not join it? What could possibly go wrong?

Durante veinticinco años, Dan Lyons fue redactor de Newsweek. Hasta que un viernes por la mañana recibió una llamada: su trabajo ya no existía. Había que contratar a gente más joven. 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 sumarse a ella? Fue así como decidió contactar con HubSpot, una startup de Boston, que acabó haciéndole una buena oferta en acciones a cambio de que aceptase un extraño papel: "asociado de marketing".
