The Strangest Secret Paperback – April 3, 2013

Earl Nightengale’s THE STRANGEST SECRET is one of my favorite pieces of literature The reason is threefold. First, it is a quick and easy read. Second, although the principles shared in it are unconventional to the majority of society, this book’s ideas are super practical. Lastly, I say that the words on the pages are revolutionary and applied properly, will transform anyone’s life, just as it has done for me.

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.

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.

Earl Nightingale has achieved what Napoleon Hill William Wattle, Franklin, Emerson and Steve pressfield have also done. This is an exceptional book on finding the genius and creative self within you and understanding you have everything you need to succeed. I would highly recommend this along with other books mentioned on success.

Book summary: We become what we think about.I especially like his 30 day plan at the end:- write down your goal on a 3 x 5 card- look at it several times throughout the day- be peaceful about it- don’t try to do it yourself. There is a higher power.

Motivational talks are inspirational. This short 30 page book has proven itself over decades to work.I'd recommend this book to anyone who feels that something is missing in their life, who feels stuck and wants to feel successful again. I say again because most children feel successful as they learn and grow. But at some point, people stop learning and growing, and also stop feeling successful.This book was first spoken over the radio and later transcribed into written text. It guided us as to how we can again feel successful.

I've enjoyed this short book about success. Lots of nice, well-reasoned takeaways. This is one of the few books I started recommending before I finished reading. Yeah, it's that good.To be re-read.

Your mind does not know if a thought is positive or negative.Fill your mind with negative thoughts. Your brain will collect evidence to support your negative thoughts. You will become the negative individual created by your thoughts.Choose the good and the good will choose you.Enjoyed this books length and it's message which is supported with straight forward examples.Reading this book is a win-win!
