Earl Nightingale      

Earl Nightingale today joins my board of Inspirational People! How could he not? From the day I listened to his Lead the Field audio, I understood why he is one of the famous authors of all time! His writing was invigorating. It is no wonder that Terry Savage described Nightingale’s Strangest Secret as one of the great motivational books of all time.      

 Nightingale was born on December 3, 1989, in Los Angeles, California, USA. His father is Earl the 4th, who abandoned his mother in 1933. His mother moved the family to a tent close to Tent City after his father left.
