Dan Lyons was always an over talker: His wife considered chatting with him not a conversation but a one-sided “Danalogue.” His constant blabbering once cost Dan a mountain of cash. He’d been hired at a Silicon Valley IT company and could’ve been awarded stock options, but Lyons was fired before hitting his second anniversary because he couldn’t stop himself from critiquing the CEO.
“If I had lasted four years and held my shares, they would now [be] worth $8,000,000,” Lyons writes in Heeding that lesson, Lyons tried to learn to stop himself from too much yadda, yadda, yadda. Now he believes his book can help others “shut the f–k up,” too.“My non-patented STFU Method … can help you become a little happier… healthier … more successful,” he writes.
Over talkers are unpopular around the world, called “gasbags,” “windbags,” “motor mouths” or purveyors of “verbal diarrhea.” In the UK and Ireland, they’re describes as “gobshites” — a combination of “mouth” and “s–t” — which is at least less crass than the Russian “pizdaboly,” which merges the verb “to flap” with a dirty description of lady parts.
