Earl Nightingale’s Strangest Secret

16/04/08 10:00 Filed in: 5 Star Reviews | Inspirational | Mindset

In an innocent time, when the word “strange” had any viable effect on a listener, Earl Nightingale named his inspirational recording The Strangest Secret. Sadly, we can’t say we evolved too much, as the word “secret” still works wonders on us. Winking

I truly believe that the most inspiring material I find - I find it in unsuspected places. Such is the case of Earl Nighingale’s Strangest Secret, which I was sent, by a friend from Mixx. The Secret really isn’t so strange, and to many of us may be even common knowledge, by now. But nothing can replace the perfect words of a well polished idea, and that’s exactly what Nightingale’s skit is all about. It’s a half hour piece, so grab a cup of Joe and have a sit and listen to what the man has got to say. (Nightingale is mostly targeting men in the broadcast, but this, of course, relates to women, too!)


The Strangest Secret Vs. The Secret

   
The name, The Strangest Secret, reminded me of the despicably cultish The Secret. These two skits are actually talking about the same things and are even using the same methods. It’s just that what used to work in 1965, doesn’t really work now. Frankly, I prefer the straight forward, no bullshit manner of Nightingale’s (even if I’m not particularly fond of his authoritative voice :P ). What mainly bothers me about The Secret is their attempt to mystify what Nightingale attempts to simplify.

The Redundancy of Lifehacks

If you’ve already checked out Mark Joyner’s Simpleology, for example, you’ve probably already noticed similarities to Nightingale’s broadcast. In all the example cases, the biggest secret to success, is knowing what you want and going after it. In the end, no matter what form it’s presented in it’s all about persistence. I gained something from Nightingale, calling persistence “faith”. This one change of phrase embodies the importants of many sources of inspiration. If you only have one mantra, you may loose your way, following it religiously. Yet, when you accumulate many different points of view, they balance each other.


Every once in a while I mention mindset, but seldom do I focus on it. The Strangest Secret is an amazing piece of positive business (and life) mindset.
