Earl Nightingale (Author)

Book Description

Release date: February 1, 2002

IF THE GRASS IS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE...

It's probably getting better care. Success is not a matter of luck or circumstance. It's not a matter of fate or the breaks you get or who you know.

Success is a matter of sticking to a set of commonsense principles anyone can master. In Lead the Field Earl Nightingale explains these guidelines: the magic word in life is ATTITUDE. It determines your actions, as well as the actions of others. It tells the world what you expect from it. When you accept responsibility for your attitude, you accept responsibility for your entire life.

Earl Nightingale -- the "Dean of Development" -- offers you a treasure trove of uplifting and insightful information like:

* The importance of forgiveness

* How "intelligent objectivity" can improve your professional life

* The usefulness of constructive discontent

Now it's your turn to bring positive changes to your own life, changes that will allow you to lead the field yourself!

About the Author

In 1956, Earl Nightingale recorded his essay The Strangest Secret. This recording became the first spoken message ever to receive a Gold Record by selling over one million copies. This triumph led Earl and his business partner, Lloyd Conant, to form Nightingale-Conant Corporation, a company dedicated to helping others achieve personal success. Earl Nightingale created and performed more than 7,000 daily broadcasts for his popular radio program, "Our Changing World," wrote and starred in many television programs, and was awarded the prestigious Golden Gavel Award from Toastmasters International.

From AudioFile

A pioneer in the human potential movement offers principles to put one's life on track. Nightingale is the co-founder of the world's largest personal growth audio publisher and a veteran broadcaster, but his deeper gifts are the personal values he articulates in this recording. Inspiring people to get ahead of the world's also-rans without denigrating them, he promotes an invigorating sense of self-responsibility--a need to get one's own house in order, find one's passion and gifts, and not settle for the herd's idea of the good life. Though more philosophical than "how-to," the behavioral suggestions are current and powerful. No one interested in personal development should miss this work by an important values teacher and motivational genius.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Original! February 9, 2004

By Darren Fox

Format:Audio CD

I wore the tapes out and had to buy a new set!

The first tape, Attitude, should be required listening for every high school student out there. Nightengale hits the nail on the head with this single tape alone. Our success or lack thereof is attributed to this very simple belief - our own attitude.

Aside from Napolean Hill, Earl Nightengale has single handedly been responsible for more millionaires in this world than anyone else! Why? The sound principles on these tapes spell out everything you need to know to motivate yourself and think things thru!

The magic word is "attitude" and the rest of it falls into place from planning to educating yourself. These tapes are not your run-of-the-mill new age airy-fairy positive thinking nonsense rather they comprise a sound plan for you to create and exceed your own goals whatever they may be.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life Changing Material February 21, 2007

By jdsonline

Format:Audio CD

I originally listened to the full set of lead the field tapes three years ago and my life has been changed considerably. I recently listened to this abridged version and found it to be well done and to capture all of the main points of the full recording. The messages that Earl Nightingale conveys are very motivational and thought provoking. You'll only get out of this CD set what you are willing to. I listen to it at least once a month to keep my mind in the right place and refresh these ideas in my life. If you are ready to improve your life and start working towards what you want, buy this CD set.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lead the Field November 4, 2006

By K. Yount

Format:Audio CD

"Lead the Field" by Earl Nightingale is by far one of the best books on CD I have ever listened to. After listening to the entire book, I listened to it again and then again all within a week time frame. It is so common sense advice, I wondered why I didn't just figure it out on my own. This is a book to listen to regularly for uplifting and maintaing a positive outlook on life. I have listened to other Earl Nightgale books and they are all good but this one is the best. I have recommended this book to all my family and friends. I recommend it now to you.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a must for anyone, young or old June 8, 2010

First, let me say I have never written a review before but I could not help writing one this time. I have listened and read many other materials, but "Lead the Field" and the "Strangest Secret", are the only ones that have worked. Very simply, Earl Nightingale has turned my life around. He provides the tools to succeed in such a simple and straight forward manner. I listen to his CDs every morning and have found myself doing the things he suggests without hesitation. In fact, things I would never have considered doing before are exactly the things I cannot wait to do today. I look forward to every day with such gratitude in knowing that the amount of effort I put out cannot help but be returned to me tenfold.

Not only does he teach you the methods for successful living, he gives you little nuggets of truth to live by --things that make us better people. Earl believes in having a good work ethic, one that we should share with our children so that they, too, begin at a young age to understand the concept that we make our own situations happen. We are the ones who determine our destiny -- where we fit into the pyramid of life. Simply put, we choose by our actions whether we will be at the bottom or the top of that pyramid.

I guarantee you that once you have listened to these CDs, you will want to share them with everyone you care about!
