Are you hungry to help others through leadership but don't feel like you have the authority? One of the greatest myths of leadership is that you must be in charge in order to lead. Great leaders don't buy it. Great leaders - whether they have the official authority or not - learn how to be an influential presence wherever they are. In How to Lead When You're Not in Charge, author and pastor Clay Scroggins explains the nature of leadership and what's needed to be a great leader - even when you answer to someone else.

Not a leadership book
Reviewed: 12-13-20
This book is not worth buying. I didn't find anything here that wasn't just "fluff". Lots of stuff that sounds good, but nothing really actionable or life-changing.

From debt ceiling standoffs to single-digit Congress approval ratings, America’s political system has never been more polarized - or paralyzed - than it is today. As best-selling author and public policy expert Charles Wheelan writes, now is the time for a pragmatic Centrist party that will identify and embrace the best Democratic and Republican ideals, moving us forward on the most urgent issues for our nation.

Centrism - taking the best of both sides of politics
Reviewed: 08-06-18
This book is great! I’m not big into politics and the only reason I started reading this book was because I’ve loved the other books by Charles Wheelan.
I love that the main premise behind these ideas is compromise - taking the best of each party and throwing out the stuff on the extremes. It’s cutting out the rhetoric and thinking about policies logically and sensibly.

Very long and very detailed, but great!
Reviewed: 12-10-17
Without pictures, this audiobook is hard to grasp just by itself. I recommend taking some time to understand the overall details of what happened each day of the battle. This book will fill in all the rest!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,264
We have all pondered seemingly unanswerably but significant questions about our existence - the biggest of all being, "Why are we here?" Philosophy has developed over millennia to help us grapple with these essential intangibles. There is no better way to study the big questions in philosophy than to compare how the world's greatest minds have analyzed these questions, defined the terms, and then reasoned out potential solutions. Once you've compared the arguments, the final step is always deciding for yourself whether you find an explanation convincing.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes!
I felt like I didn't need to have a Ph.D in Philosophy to understand the content. Honestly, you don't even really need to have a college education! It's that easy to listen to. He uses so many pop culture references (mainly sci-fi like Star Trek and Dr. Who) that make it easy to relate these hard and abstract concepts to something more familiar. In the end I felt like I have a MUCH better understanding of some main topics of philosophy.
I agree with others that he spends way too much time discussing God, but it wasn't horrible.
What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?
The lectures are structured so well! Each lecture ties perfectly with the next.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I really loved the lectures regarding knowledge and the thought experiments that go along with it.
