The Strangest Secret is an audio recording by Earl Nightingale produced in 1956. It summarizes some of the same ideas as the famous book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. The audio can be found on YouTube among other places. This blog post is my attempt to summarize the information contained there. I think it is still very relevant today, 75 years later. Everyone wants to be successful, yet so few are. Why? That is the story of the Strangest Secret.
I ordered Grant Cardones new book, Be Obsessed or Be Average, at the same time as The 10X Rule which I reviewed earlier. This book has a very similar tone as the first book, but it considers things from the viewpoint of obsessions. The title is provocative for sure but it is consistent with the style of the author, no doubt intended to shock people a bit.
I must admit, I struggle to read books. It is so easy to get distracted with other things such as YouTube. Dont get me wrong, there is plenty of valuable content in video format, but there is something special about reading which engages the brain in a different way. After hearing over and over that successful people read books I realized it is something I must do, there is just no way around it. Writing a short review of a book that I have read is a good chance to reflect on what I have learned.
