20 分钟In this episode, Dan Lyons says it’s time we all zipped it.
Hi Matt here.
If you want to continue finding tools to a successful and happy life, I recommend listening to the happiness lab hosted by Yale professor Doctor Lori Santos.
Doctor Santos has studied the science of happiness and has found that many of us do the exact opposite of what will make our lives better.
Based on the psychology course she teaches at Yale, she will take you through the latest scientific research and share some surprising stories that will change the way you think about happiness.
This season, shes tackling topics that affect her own life like stress, perfectionism, and boredom.
If you struggle with any of those, or if it sounds like you could learn more about increasing happiness in your life, then listen to the happiness lab right here in your podcast player.
Theres a fine line we all must walk when we communicate.
We have to say enough to get our point across, but we want to avoid over talking.
Today we'll explore talking too much and how to listen more.
I'm Matt Abrahams and I teach strategic communication at Stanford Graduate School of Business.
Welcome to think fast, talk smart, the podcast.
Today, I look forward to speaking very concisely, mind you, with Dan Lyons.
Dan is a journalist, author, and sometimes screenwriter.
He wrote for Newsweek and Forbes and recently released his third book, the power of keeping your mouth shut in an endlessly noisy world.
Welcome, Dan.
I'm excited for our conversation and I must admit, very aware of what I am saying.
I'm curious, what motivated you to write this book, and how do we know if we're an over talker?
It's a great question.
And full disclosure, I was motivated to write the book because I talked too much.
And I became aware of this and I became aware that it had caused me problems in my professional and personal life.
