"An even Stranger Secret is that this recording captures one of the great pearls of wisdom of the ages, and yet, it's something that escapes most peoples' notice: That we become what we think about. This recording from the mid-1950s still holds up amazingly well, and the message is timeless. I became a fan of Earl Nightingale from his 1980s "Insight" recordings (where his voice sounded much more gravelly) but this is where it all started. The story is that he recorded this for a sales group on a contract basis, then watched as it became the most successful motivational recording ever by word of mouth. Don't confuse this with "The Secret," which seems to me to be a recent rehash of this, the original message. Give this a try! p.s. Little-known fact: Earl Nightingale was one of only a few survivors of a ship that was bombed in the Pearl Harbor attack.
"This record changed my life. Everyone should listen to it, the sooner the better."
"I started listening to "The Strangest Secret" when I was just a teenager back in the early 1970's. I was lucky to have had many inspirations in my young life, and, this recording was one of them. In the early 1970's you could still catch some of Earl Nightingale's programs on some radio stations. He has been an inspiration to more than a few generations of Americans. Earl Nightingale wrote this recording from many sources. He took wisdom that has been handed down to us from the ancient Greeks, and, re-worked it into modern American English with examples that illuminate its relevance to the everyday lives of everyone. In addition to drawing his inspiration for this recording from Aristotle and Plato, Mr. Nightengale also included many concepts from an obscure American philosopher by the name of "James Allen." The work "As a Man Thinketh", by James Allen, is closely related to this recording, and, Mr. Nightingale appropriately bestowed on us yet another inspiration in his recording about the book. As A Man Thinketh. What is the Strangest Secret? I don't want to spoil it for you. It has to do with the realization that life is not about finding yourself - life is about creating yourself. This recording, which I have listened to thousands of times, provides an outline for taking control over the most powerful instrument in our lives - our own consciousness. Mr. Nightingale compares our consciousness to a powerful earth-moving machine with a little man sitting on top of it. We can either use it to build and create, or, through neglect, "let it run itself into a ditch."
