A great book

One of the best books that I have ever heard. I highly recommend it. It can help change your life

Brilliant and ageless!

Brilliant and ageless! A must read book to keep in your library and read periodically.

Tremendous insights on life and success.

Sometimes we just need so reminding of a few basic philosophical principles for success and achievement. Half an hour of listening to Earl helps get my day started in the proper direction. I only wish I had found and appreciated these concepts as a teenager. I make it a point to discuss these ideas with my children on the way to school every morning.

Can not go wrong with this book.

Some of the great wisdoms in life are right here for the taking. Having this book read out loud while going about your everyday tasks is a fantastic way to infuse your mind with inspirational, motivational and positive insight.

Excellent advice for the aspiring renaissance man

Excellent advice for the aspiring renaissance man or woman. A ton of other book suggestions throughout that are a must for what the author calls your personal library.

Earl Nightingale is a Genius!!!!

This album from Earl is some of his best. Interesting topics and great philosophical depth. Earl continues to inspire in a way that many motivational gurus cannot still grasp even today. I recommend everything from Earl!!! This material hits you from a different self-help angle, providing insights that are truly interesting and inspiring

The Direct Line - Earl Nightingale Review

Excellent material from the "dean of personal development". While some of it is repeat material, as a lot of self-development authors material is, this series of talks by Earl does include some new material from his Essence of Success program. Both are necessary listens as are Lead the Field and The Strangest Secret. To conclude, listen multiple times, preferrably 4 times per program to get it to stick in your subconscious as what you hear is what you think about when repeated, then eventually it becomes your actions which in turn become your reality.

Way too philosophical

I'm usually a big fan of Earls books, but I must admit this one was really not for my tastebuds. I think is was too philosophical, and he lost me completely. I almost felt asleep twice during the first chapters. I recommend Essence of success instead.

Repeat of previous work

Same info from his previous works almost verbatim. Was really hoping for new insights, however I was disappointed.

Full version

I wanted the full version not just the half hour of it donthey offer the full version
