STFU
Susan Cain meets Mark Manson in New York Times bestselling author Dan Lyons’s STFU—a desperately needed wake-up call for a world where constant noise is driving everyone nuts, and where the best way to cope is to learn how to shut the f*ck up.
Learning to talk less, listen more, and speak with intention can make you happier, healthier, more successful, and a better parent and partner. In STFU, Dan describes his own journey to overcome his compulsive talking, which involved digging through mountains of research and interviewing countless experts, including scientists, historians, a former CIA case officer, and a researcher who has been discovering amazing connections showing how speech is connected to our physical and emotional well-being. Based on that research, Dan developed a set of practices that changed his life—and can change yours too.

LAB RATS
For two years, Dan Lyons immersed himself in the world of half-baked management science, from a cult-like “Holocracy” workshop in San Francisco to corporate trainers who run Lego-building workshops. He shows how new tools, workplace practices, and hyper-capitalist business models from Silicon Valley have shattered the social contract that once existed between companies and their employees. Workers are subjected to constant change, dehumanizing technologies and even health risks.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. Lab Rats proposes ways to build great work culture and produce a healthy, sustainable global economy for the 21st century. The Guardian named Lab Rats one of the best business books of 2018 and The Economist praised its forward-thinking analysis of tech-driven workplace culture.

DISRUPTED
For twenty-five years Dan Lyons was a magazine writer at the top of his profession—until one Friday morning when his editor at Newsweek told him that his job as technology editor no longer existed. A kooky, cult-like software startup offered Dan a pile of stock options and the vague title of “marketing fellow.” What could possibly go wrong? In a word, everything.
Mixed in with Dan’s uproarious tale of a job from hell is a trenchant analysis of startup culture and a poignant, painfully honest account of struggling to pursue personal reinvention in middle age. In Disrupted, Dan explores the Silicon Valley business model that has spread to other sectors of the economy, an analysis he would take up again and explore in greater depth in Lab Rats.
Disrupted was an instant New York Times best-seller and lauded by the Los Angeles Times as “the best book about Silicon Valley today.”
