From a young boy living in a tent city in Long Beach, California, to an internationally syndicated radio personality, award-winning spoken word recording artist, and owner of a multimillion-dollar electronic publishing company, Earl Nightingale was the human embodiment of a “rags-to-riches” success story. Nightingale’s ascent to success began after he read a line from Napoleon Hill’s 1937 book “Think and Grow Rich”: “We become what we think about.” Nightingale realized this correlation between our cognitive behaviors and the world around us was also highlighted in multiple religions and philosophies, and it quickly became the linchpin of his motivational speeches. Nightingale believed anyone could be successful if they put their mind to it, and that this success could then be shared and multiplied with others. His ideology was well received: Nightingale’s spoken word records sold millions of copies, and his radio program, “Our Changing World,” was syndicated in more than 25 countries.
