About this ebook
"If you understand completely what I am going to tell you, from this moment on, your life will never be the same again."—Earl Nightingale
This amazing message was first played for a group of salespeople at Earl Nightingale's insurance agency. They were utterly electrified. Word of it spread like wildfire, and everyone who heard it was positively ignited into action. Requests for a recording of the message came pouring in—thousands of requests per week. Within no time, more than 200,000 people had called, written, or just walked right into Earl's office to request a copy. As years went by, that number soared above 1,000,000.
Today, more than 65 years later, The Strangest Secret remains one of the most powerful and influential messages ever recorded. Now in print, updated with never before published content and a foreword by Dave Ramsey, The Strangest Secret will inspire anyone in your organization to truly understand how to get from where you are to where you want to be.

Foreword by Dave Ramsey
Earl Nightingale was a national treasure, plain and simple.
Before there was Dave Ramsey or Tony Robbins, there was Zig Ziglar. And before there was Zig Ziglar, there was Earl Nightingale. His influence as the grandfather of motivational speaking has had a powerful impact on everyone in the personal development space, and his words and teachings have touched more lives directly and indirectly than can be counted.
I’m grateful to be listed in that number.
My parents first introduced me to Earl’s message in the 1970s. They were in the real estate business when I was a kid, and they would take me to motivational seminars. I would also listen to cassette recordings of incredible speakers like Earl. So I had already been exposed to The Strangest Secret by the time I was twelve years old.
Interestingly, that was also about the same time that I started my very first business, mowing lawns around my neighborhood. I don’t know if Earl inspired my first taste of entrepreneurship as much as my dad’s insistence that I start earning my own money, but I wouldn’t be surprised if his words had at least some impact.
As I grew, so did my appreciation for Earl. I remember getting the chance to hear him speak in that wonderful baritone voice at the Municipal Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee. That day, he shared the stage with some real legends: Paul Harvey, Zig and Judge Ziglar, Cavett Robert, and Charlie Tremendous
