I'd like to tell you about the strangest secret in the world. Not long ago, Albert Schweitzer, the great Dr. and Nobel prize winner was being interviewed in London and a reporter asked him, "Doctor, what's wrong with men today?" The great doctor was silent a moment, and then he said, "Men simply don't think!" And it's about this that I want to talk with you. We live today in a golden age. This is an era that man has looked forward, dreamed of and worked toward for thousands of years. But, since it's here we pretty well take it for granted. We in America are particularly fortunate; to live in the richest land that ever existed on the face of the earth - a land of abundant opportunity for everyone. Wilder Publications is a green publisher. All of our books are printed to order. This reduces waste and helps us keep prices low while greatly reducing our impact on the environment.

The very first paragraph of his book is worth the price!

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2018

Verified Purchase

I have read this book at least 10 times and I read it again today (8th Jan 2017) this book is filled with nuggets here and there that totally hits it home.

The very first paragraph is what I quote every single time I get an opportunity.

Here is the excerpt: The late Nobel prize-winning Dr. Albert Schweitzer was once asked, "Doctor, what is wrong with men today?" The great doctor was silent a moment, and then he said, "Men simply do not think.

This is SO TRUE.

Look around you and you will not find many people that actually THINK.

5% of the people think, ten percent of the people think they think, and the other 85% would rather watch what Kim Kardashian's are doing than think.

Another great line that I always quote from this book is...

The problem is that our mind comes as a standard equipment at birth. It's free. And things that are given to us for nothing, we place little value on. Things that we pay money for, we value.

I will end this review by saying, your mind is your best friend and only friend that will come to your aide in need, so you better take good care of it. And it starts with thinking. Give yourself 5-10mins a day to think and ponder about your life and goals.

One of the shortest and yet most insightful books I have ever read. I have listened to Earl Nightingale 's audio recordings and this transcript makes it sink in! There is a bonus transcript of a video he did. Wish I had read this book in high school.

I am confused. I ordered The strangest Secret by Earl Nightingale and that’s what the cover of the book say. However, when I open the book, the title paste say, You Don’t Know My Life by Eddie Peterson.

Brilliant...Classic...Order Several!

Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2014

Earl Nightingale's recording, The Strangest Secret, is a classic! This book, offered by Mr Nightingale's wife, is the original message and is well worth the small price.

Let's face it, the information is out there and easily obtained with a quick search but the reason you want to own this book is, in my opinion, two-fold. One is to hold the work that can actually be the inspiration to change your life. The second is to keep it in the forefront of your mind. Keep a copy on your desk, nightstand or other easily accessible location. The Strangest Secret should be reviewed on a regular basis. I have more than one copy and suggest you do the same...and buy several to give away!

Here's my only complaint...and it's more of a preference than a complaint. The book is too big..currently 6"x9". I would much prefer the format be smaller...maybe 3"x4"...small enough to fit in a pocket. This way it could be carried around and referred to over and over. There are not many pages...about 40...so it wouldn't be that thick.

Earl Nightingale has the gift of wisdom and knowledge

Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2016

I had an original cassette tape series from the 1980's but somehow lost track of the principles and did not follow through. I now don't have a cassette player and so I had to order the CD set. Earl Nightingale is the best motivational speaker and author that I ever came across! He is a God sent genius in the field! His works are incredible and all so true. Earl Nightingale has the gift of wisdom and knowledge and smoothest voice of authority... he speaks the truth!

Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2014

I bought this as a record in the early 196's for $35 dollars when I was making less than a $100's a week. Listened to it a hundred times, one of my favorites. Every high school students should be exposed to this. Earl Nightingale was one of the Marine survivors on the US Arizona at Pearl Harbor. After the war in the early 1950's starting an Insurance company he put together the Strangest Secret for his sales staff meeting when he left for vacation. Everyone wanted a copy, this was one of the first self help recordings. So much common sense. You become what you think about. Success is the progressive realization of predetermined worthwhile ideas.

I've won a lot of sales awards over the past 24 years. I can attribute a LOT of that success to the contents in this book. I used to have this on cassette tape and book form. Along with so many other great speakers and motivators from the early and mid 20th century....it shaped me to believe I could achieve anything I set my mind to. AND that inaction toward my goal was itself an action.

It's not for those how want a hand out - it's for those who want to WORK and ACHIEVE. It's a 30 minute read in this format - but I bet I used 2 colored pens and multiple color hilighters - it's so full of great stuff.

Arrived super quickly and in perfect condition. It might look like a tiny book but for me, there's a wealth of knowledge and inspiration. It's like a Tardis in book form. This is a fantastic little book that really helps and I re-read it every week along with listening to the audio on youtube. Well worth the price!

Everyone needs to read this at least once in their lives, you realise that the powers that be are keeping us down and society is making us conform to be satisfied with an “ok” life when really we can all achieve great things! This for me kind of reignited my passion for life like I had when I was 16, I’ve set some Goals and I’m not letting anything stop me this time, don’t wake up in years to come full of regrets, and lastly.....pass this book down to your kids when they are 16!
