About this listen

Known as the "Dean of Personal Development", Earl Nightingale broadcast his radio programs for more than three decades on over 1,000 radio stations in 12 countries around the world, making him one of the most listened-to broadcasters in history. An inductee into both the Radio Hall of Fame and the International Speakers Hall of Fame and a winner of the prestigious Golden Gavel Award, he dedicated his life to helping others achieve personal success, co-founding Nightingale-Conant, a world leader in personal development.

Combining his personal insight with wisdom from the greatest minds in history - from the ancient Greek philosophers to contemporary thought leaders - he provides original and creative commentaries on life and the ways of successful living.

Now, for the first time ever, Nightingale's audio program The Direct Line is being offered. This audiobook offers a practical guide designed to help you find real and lasting success in your career, relationships, and finances. The messages shared in it will help you begin the most exciting and rewarding journey on earth - your journey of self-discovery and personal fulfillment.

In this life-changing book, you'll discover the importance of:

  • Identifying and understanding your talents and abilities
  • Learning from and overcoming failure
  • Creative thinking
  • Personal growth through knowledge
  • Character building
  • Living in balance
  • And much more!

Just as the success or failure of any business depends on its management, so the success or failure of a person depends on the way he or she manages himself or herself. The Direct Line will teach you how to take control of your life and find happiness and contentment from the journey of striving toward your goals and cultivating a meaningful existence.

This is my favourite audiobook of all time! I've listened to it perhaps 10 times already. Probably even more. I keep getting something new out of it everytime. Mr. Nightingale was a truly wise man and ahead of his time. He touches on so many subjects here, like politics, religion, philosophy, business, spirituality, success, and personal development. I definitely recommend it!

Tremendous!

You have to really concentrate to understand whats being said... unfortunately it sounds like you're listening to an audio recording tape from the 1800's. All the insights and wisdom being shared are great! specially when you can hear whats being said. Maybe a better audio engineer could re-do those tapes and make it listenable. And thats a shame, again, because the content is top notch but the actual audio is just horrible!

Pretty good teachings but horrible audio
