Informative, deeply moving, and something every American should hear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEarl Nightingale grew up during the Depression, hungry for knowledge and driven by a single question he pursued from boyhood: \"How can a person, starting from scratch, with no particular advantage, reach the goals that matter most — and by doing so, make a major contribution to others?\" That question propelled him to become one of the world's foremost authorities on success and human potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHis journey began in the Marine Corps, where he volunteered as a radio announcer — and survived the attack on Pearl Harbor as one of the few men aboard the battleship Arizona to make it out alive. After the war he built a celebrated career in network radio, hosting his own daily commentary program on WGN in Chicago. By 1957 he had become successful enough to retire at age 35.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt his sales team's urging, he recorded his philosophy of success before leaving on an extended vacation. That recording became \u003cem\u003eThe Strangest Secret\u003c\/em\u003e — the first spoken-word program ever to earn a Gold Record, with over one million copies sold. He later partnered with Lloyd Conant to build Nightingale-Conant, the company that grew into the world's leading publisher of personal development audio programs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Earl Nightingale died on March 28, 1989, Paul Harvey announced it on his radio program with these words: \"The sonorous voice of the nightingale was stilled.\" His consuming passion, in the words of those who knew him best, was this: he never let a day go by without learning something new — and passing it on to others.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nightingale-Conant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52167535231288,"sku":"28560DP","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/2286\/4952\/files\/what_the_declaration_of_independence_really_means_28560cd.jpg?v=1775930309","url":"https:\/\/www.nightingale.com\/products\/what-the-declaration-of-independence-really-means","provider":"Nightingale-Conant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
