In this new compilation, legendary personal development speaker and author, Earl Nightingale, unlocks the art of goal setting, the characteristics of goal-oriented individuals, and the unparalleled power of maintaining a flexible yet focused approach to achieving one’s aspirations.

From the foundational principle of The Strangest Secret that ‘You become what you think about’ to practical advice on creating a lifestyle that attracts success, Nightingale’s book is a treasure trove of timeless wisdom. It highlights the significance of aiming points, the phenomenon of synchronicity in the pursuit of goals, and the vital role of personal desire and energy in creating synergy towards success.

Readers will embark on a journey through themes such as:

  • The essence of goal setting and its impact on longevity and fulfilment.
  • Understanding the dynamism of goal-oriented people and how they navigate life’s uncertainties.
  • The concept of ‘Flexible Equilibrium’ and balancing ambition with adaptability.
  • Strategies for transforming oneself into a ‘Human Dynamo’ and unleashing a tidal wave of successful productivity.
  • Practical insights for personal growth, embracing opportunities, and the magic of a 30-day experiment to transform one’s life.

Earl Nightingale’s The Power of Goals is a captivating adventure into the heart of what it means to live a purpose-driven life. It is an essential read for anyone seeking to overcome doubt, ignite their inner drive, and take decisive action towards a future of their own making.

About the Author

Earl Nightingale grew up in California during the Great Depression. Because his family was very poor, Earl educated himself in his local library. His main focus: what makes people turn out the way they do in terms of their wealth, their career achievements, and their happiness. After beginning his career in the US Marines during World War II, Earl was hired as a radio announcer. He eventually became a popular daily broadcaster for CBS. Through his interest in both personal development and audio, he partnered with Lloyd Conant to form the Nightingale Conant Corporation. At Nightingale Conant, he focused on recording the ideas and lessons about success that he studied throughout his life.
