STFU by Dan Lyons is a self-help book focused on psychology and personal development (3/5 stars)

STFU: The Power of Keeping Your Mouth Shut in an Endlessly Noisy World by Dan Lyons is a self-help book focused on psychology and personal development. I listened to the audiobook, which clocks in at a little under seven hours and is narrated by the author.

This book features a hearty dose of behavioral science with actionable advice on how to STFU and listen, communicate with intent, and think critically.

As someone who sometimes babbles when I’m nervous (hello undiagnosed ADD/ADHD), I did get a few helpful tips out of this book. Though it was a quick read, there were tons of sources listed– always a good sign for me in science journalism.

The book felt a little long for me, and had sections that felt more like a space for the author to vent than to explain the topic further. The topics also were in a bit of a weird order; overall things might have been tighter with a bit more editing.

I received a copy of this book to review. All opinions contained herein are my own.
