How to replace inner chaos with an emotional awareness that will maximize your influence and result in a calmer, less stressful, and more fulfilling life.
While many leaders train themselves on how to tune out external distractions that keep them from being productive, they remain deaf to the inner desires and emotions churning beneath the surface. Pastor and author Clay Scroggins describes spiritual disciplines and tangible daily steps to help you incorporate four noise-cancelling habits into your daily life:
- Finding simplicity - how does simplicity bring clarity?
- Speaking to yourself - you're not crazy. Many of us do it; and there are real benefits!
- Getting quiet - silence is difficult. Why emotionally healthy leaders make time for it.
- Pressing pause - what does the word sabbath even mean, and why is it so important - on both a practical and a spiritual level?
By embracing these habits, business, church, and ministry leaders will be able to identify and understand their emotions and develop a calm and effective leadership style.
In this follow-up to his best-selling book How to Lead When You're Not in Charge, Clay Scroggins focuses on the real dangers of distraction and how to create space for personal evaluation and exploration.
"This book is such a valuable resource - not just for leaders but for anyone longing to make a difference in the world." (Dave Ramsey)
"Clay helps you move beyond the distractions to a moment-by-moment awareness that will help you regulate the way you think, act, and feel." (Ian Morgan Cron)
"In this book Clay provides leaders with practical ways to turn down the noise personally and organizationally." (Andy Stanley)

We do need to do our inner work, so it doesn’t become a blind spot, whether leading ourselves or our team.
Over delivered- again Clay!

The content is also great. Sure, you could argue that a good bulk of the information aren’t ground-breaking discoveries, but the analogies, examples, and practical life-applications are articulated and presented in a way that’s new to me (and I’m an avid self-development reader).
If these sorts of books are your bread-and-butter, I’d say give it a listen. You will definitely learn a thing or two that can help you in life, work, relationships, etc.
Also, the author is a Christian pastor, but don’t let that deter you if you don’t share the same faith. He hardly talks about faith in the book. And when he does, take from it what applies to your walk.

Turn Down for WHAT?!?
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
- He says emotional intelligence is defined as understanding yourself. That’s part of the definition but the important other part is understanding others.
- He seems to dismiss the importance of process by referring to Bezos. That gives an inaccurate impression of Bezos’s thinking. Process is often important to follow even if it doesn’t produce the outcome you want.
- He says even Roger Federer has a coach. Actually Roger Federer became so great at one point that he did not have a coach for quite some time.
Having said all of the above. The positives about this book outweigh the few negatives. Well done!

The book identifies different distractions and missed opportunities because we are anchored to the urgent instead of the important. Clay shared practical and applicable ways to find the signal in the noise of your life and I’ll certainly be putting these techniques to use in mine.
Great complement to Clay’s sermons and leadership series
