Are leaders born or made? Where does ambition come from? How does adversity affect the growth of leadership? Does the man make the times or do the times make the man? In Leadership, Goodwin draws upon four of the presidents she has studied most closely - Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson (in civil rights) - to show how they first recognized leadership qualities within themselves, and were recognized by others as leaders.

What makes a president great?

I loved the audio so much I also bought the book.
Revisado: 01-03-21
I drive a lot and have lots of listening time available so this is an efficient use of my time. With age, my mental acuity and reading skills have slipped a lot so I decided to use the opportunity to try Audiobooks and they are great, particularly in conjunction with the hard copy. While my education is still sadly lacking, this great book and the many other audio books I have now added to my library are filling some of the many voids. On a serious note, I don't enjoy being uninformed and having all but lost my reading skills was/is depressing. Combining listening to the audio with reading the book has allowed me to delve into the hardcopy details much more effectively. Not as good as rolling back the clock, but still great!

Lenin once said, “There are decades when nothing happens and weeks when decades happen.” This is one of those times when history has sped up. CNN host and best-selling author Fareed Zakaria helps listeners to understand the nature of a post-pandemic world: the political, social, technological, and economic impacts that may take years to unfold. In the form of 10 straightforward “lessons”, covering topics from globalization and threat-preparedness to inequality and technological advancement, Zakaria creates a structure for listeners to begin thinking beyond COVID-19.

SADLY HOPEFUL

Very disappointing, it reads like Peoples Magazine
Revisado: 01-03-21
I rarely miss a Sunday Morning with Fareed and his fantastic and insightful discussions with his great guests. I also regularly read and learn from his WashingtonPost pieces- that's why I bought the book. Frankly, I think it is more fluff than substance and couldn't get past Chapter 2, I would return it if I had the option.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 599
Best-selling author Chris Mooney uses cutting-edge research to explain the psychology behind why today’s Republicans reject reality - it’s just part of who they are. From climate change to evolution, the rejection of mainstream science among Republicans is growing, as is the denial of expert consensus on the economy, American history, foreign policy, and much more. Why won’t Republicans accept things that most experts agree on? Why are they constantly fighting against the facts?

Do you wonder why people support Trump?
Revisado: 11-28-20
One of the discussions I have within my brain and with other like minded friends is "why do many intelligent people support Trump and the "new" Republican party! Listening to this excellent book, as well as John Dean's equally outstanding and even handed book on "Authoritarians"" largely answered answered the question. ( My Republican friends do not see the observations in these books as objective, rather they are viewed as anti-Trump "Fake News".)
One of the reasons I don't read nearly as much as I used to is time, I simply don't have much of it! Audible books let me use my driving time very productively; I split it 1/2 and 1/2 between listening to the books and thinking.
I look at both of these books as well researched and documented "scholarly" works and in order to delve into their complex details and references in depth I also purchased the books. Spoken and written words each have their place in helping me understand complex topics.
