Forget the hustle. Forget the grind. In an age where productivity is glorified and meetings never end, Talk More, Do Lessis your witty, strategic survival manual for navigating work life with your energy (and sanity) intact.
This isn't a guide to slacking off. It's a smart, subversive playbook for using language as your best professional asset. Learn how to speak with authority, fill silences without exposing yourself, stretch out meetings without accepting new tasks, and sound brilliantly engaged - all while doing remarkably little.
Inside, you'll find:
Real tactics for "noise with purpose" how to speak enough to contribute, but not enough to commit.
Tricks to delay decisions, avoid ownership, and still look like a team player.
Tools to soften workloads using nothing but tone, timing, and the magic of vague phrasing.
A glossary of "verbal ninja" expressions to dodge responsibility with elegance.
It's not laziness - it's efficient self-defense. Whether you're overbooked, under-inspired, or just tired of doing other people's jobs, this book gives you the verbal toolkit to protect your time, your brain, and your boundaries.
Work smart. Speak smarter. Do just enough. Welcome to the art of subtle efficiency.
