I wasn’t too knowledgeable about him before, but have heard quotes of his surface often in the writings of other authors in the personal development & business genres.ĮN is a true grandmaster of psychology, human nature and the human condition - and it’s safe to say his words rival that of the deepest and most meaningful philosophical thought I’ve personally read or encountered.
Hearing Earl Nightingale perform the audiobook recording himself was icing on the cake. Since then, the audio version of “The Strangest Secret” has sold well over a million copies and continues to improve the lives of everyone it touches.What an amazing book! This is a manifesto to all entrepreneurial minded individuals out there. In 1960, Earl Nightingale co-founded the Nightingale-Conant corporation to distribute this information. Within a year, through nothing more than word-of-mouth, they were selling 2,000 copies a week. To keep pace, Earl recorded the message, which he called “The Strangest Secret,” on 10-inch recordings. Word of this extraordinary recording spread, and the office was soon deluged with requests for a copy of it. The message absolutely electrified the staff.
One week in 1956, Earl pre-recorded his message so that he could take a vacation without his staff missing their weekly dose of inspiration. At the insurance company he purchased at the height of his radio career, the sales force relied on his regular Saturday “pep talks” delivered over the PA system to motivate their performance through the week. His sonorous voice and articulate, impassioned delivery won him a great acclaim in the broadcasting industry. After leaving the service, he embarked on a career in broadcasting. Born into a poor California family in 1921, Earl survived the meager years of the depression, joined the Marines at age 17 and was one of only a few hundred men to survive the Pearl Harbor bombing of the battleship U.S.S. And he had a unique gift for inspiring those around him to do the same. EARL NIGHTINGALE knew a thing or two about overcoming obstacles and conquering difficulties.
