Product Description

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

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.

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

By	Darren Fox "Sales & Marketing Pro" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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 Outstanding, One of the best guides on personal achievement!, June 11, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Lead the Field (Hardcover)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless Wise Advise, January 9, 2005

By	Bonnie Neely - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Lead the Field (Hardcover)

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!
