Timeless Life Changing Ideas and Insights

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.

The Direct Line 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 program, 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

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.
