Earl Nightingale (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Often referred to as the "dean of personal development" Earl Nightingale probably knew more about success in life than anyone else in the world. He was a master motivator, a Renaissance man, who absorbed and digested the most profound thoughts of the world's greatest minds and presented them in clear, easily applied instructions. Over a career that spanned more than four decades, he developed a syllabus for success that has never been equaled.

His famous message upon which this book is based, The Strangest Secret, earned the first Gold Record for spoken word, with sales exceeding one million copies. It tapped into what was subsequently discovered to be a groundswell demand for recorded, informational messages and was the precursor of the spoken-word audio cassette industry.

The classic message is as timely today as it was when first published in 1057. In it, Earl Nightingale reveals how he discovered and lived the strangest secret of success. We invite you to learn and apply this secret in your own life and enjoy the extraordinary rewards of excellence.  From Book: Note to the Reader

5.0 out of 5 stars The Strangest Secret by Earl Nightingale, March 21, 2000

By	Bruce Gilchrist (North Battleford Sask. Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Strangest Secret (Earl Nightingale's Library of Little Gems) (Audio Cassette)

This book carries one of the most powerful messages. I was fortunate to have received this message in it's original form (a vinyl record). My mentor had it in storage for many years and I received his greatest gift--(this message) in the early 80's. It has been the driving force that's propelled my business ever since. I was astonished to find it still available to those wanting to succeed. I'm so pleased to now have it in print and audio. My thanks goes out to Diana Nightingale for having the forsite to keep this powerful message alive. I strongly recommend you attain your own copy and study it often. You will never look back.

5.0 out of 5 stars Revealing and Inspirational, September 22, 1999

By	Samuel Lee Oliver - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Strangest Secret (Earl Nightingale's Library of Little Gems) (Audio Cassette)

This book reminds us that "we become what we think about." I have gone over this book many times. Each time, I am able to deepen a sense of knowing within me. It is a knowing that I do create my own life. Each of us create paths to success by the constant dwelling on a worthy idea. Here, we co-create with our Creator a life that brings together the sacred and human qualities of living. Thanks, Earl and Diana, for reminding us who we really are. -- Samuel Oliver, author of, WHAT THE DYING TEACH US: LESSONS ON LIVING.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Strangest Secret (Earl Nightingale's Library of Little Gems) (Audio Cassette)

Good evening, I am John Ross, lindale, Texas. I first heard the strangest secret some 34 years ago, and the impact has been profound. The selection of the right word at the right time, with the proper accent, makes hearing it that more meaningful. It should be required learning to graduate high school. It has made a big dif. in my life...forever. thanks for the opportunity. Thanks Mr. Nightingale
