We use several training cassette books in our company and this is the most popular. Earl Nightengale, in laymans terms, exposes the secrets of succesful people. An excellent motivator and confindence builder. He shows that you can do it, if you only will. I have listened to it over and over the past few years, and it has had a significant impact on my development and my view of the world.

LEAD THE FIELD by Earl Nightingale could be considered the "secret kernel of wisdom" of all motivational audio series. Nightingale, who grew up too poor to own books or go to college, made a life-long study of how to better oneself and he became the leader of his field as a speaker and with his 7,000 motivational radio and TV commentaries. Now, with the audio program set from the foremost company for motivational listening , Nightingale-Conant Corporation which he founded, you can hear this set, which compiles the best of his self-improvement methods into twelve fascinating listening periods. In his grandfatherly, gentle voice he teaches the listener how to be "constructively discontented" and to use "intelligent objectivity" and gives "ideas and actions that will help you achieve personal happiness and fulfillment and to become the leader in whatever field you choose. You'll be glad you chose this set for your travel adventures listening!

In simple, straightforward language, Earl Nightingale takes our lame excuses for NOT being successful and refutes them all. "We are what we think about." What a basic, yet profound statement of which we need to be constantly reminded if we hope to become our best! I will keep this cassette series in my car and play it whenever I start to lose my focus or feel sorry for myself.

I've bought virtually every self-improvement/success audio/video out there, (I've spent over 18K on these materials) and of them all, this multi-CD set is the most powerful and moving set I've gotten, of hundreds.

I have to thank Jeffrey Gitomer for bringing Earls' "The Strangest Secret" to my awareness at one of his excellent seminars, where I bought the cd.

Then I discovered these, via the nightingale website. This set of CDs is the most valuable I've ever listened to. Also the extended "Strangest Secret" 5-cd set and Essence of Success are very valuable.

Highly recommended, profoundly moving to me and something I'll be re-listening to for the rest of my life. Get it. Also get all of Brian Tracy's stuff, it's great. And the Napoleon Hill cds.

To your success,

-Ken

I had listened to Earl Nightingale (and other NC tapes over and over) for years while in my 20s. When I heard his voice again, it was like I was transported back in time and a shiver went through me. With that said, in listening to "Lead the Field" during my Sabbatical there are still all the great ideas, but I think they are now packaged a bit archaically. The unspoken and unexamined notion that comes across to me is that a high title or high income is an obvious indicator of success and is what we all should strive for. It is pretty clear in this day and age that title and income may be captured by the successful but too many of these folks striving to be in the top 5% do so without a sufficient counter balance of integrity. With that said, one addition I would make to this work is that no amount of success is worth surrendering your honesty and integrity and the notion that while business needs to be profitable if the only reason you are in business is to make a profit you may be setting yourself up for disappointment even if "successful". The 2nd notion I would add is the emphasis that one can use all these great ideas to achieve any goal in one's life. (This feedback is from listening to the audio tapes.)

Truly magnificent material that gives the basics for personal achievement and success. Earl Nightingale is considered in my eyes as a true master of his craft, an excellent writer, a teacher, a first-class storyteller and a man that left a legacy in the field of personal growth and leadership for a lifetime.

It is sad to think Earl has been dead for many years now. I first listened to his recordings almost twenty years ago and instantly became a great admirer. If you're someone who is searching for the basic answer of what to do with your life, or just need a re-assuring nudge, listen to this...it helped change my life.

Earl's stories make everything so clear that there is only one basic answer to success and happiness, with the former clearly meaning the latter, i.e., to simply find a way to service others. It may be thru employment or it may be thru entrepreneurship...whichever, Earl demonstrates that doing something you enjoy that helps others in life is the only way to live.

Enjoy!

I still listen to the CD's (used to be tapes) 30+ years after I first bought them.

I recommend to all my nieces and nephews.

I am currently listening to the CD's with my 11 year old son.

The principals on the CD's are timeless. Live by them, and you will keep succeeding your entire life.

Great book on getting back to the basics of where hard work will take you. No self-delusion. No hype. No psycho-babble. Jut tried and true great ideas.

This set is awesome. I've purchased it three times!

The lessons herein are timeless, consistently accurate and real to one's personal and professional life.

If only I could exercise all the parables simultaneously!

Thank you Earl. You were wise beyond your years.
