The Story of Earl Nightingale
Pamela Nightingale
Hello, I'm Pamela Nightingale, daughter of the late international best-selling author and radio personality, Earl Nightingale. I'd like to share with you the true-life story of my father and the personal secrets of his life. This includes behind the scenes details of how he discovered the Strangest Secret.
Family stories include how my dad was abandoned by his father, went barefoot as a poor boy living in a tent city through the Great Depression. He fell in love at first sight, lied about his age to join the Marines and miraculously was one of only a few to survive the sinking of the USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor. Some say he lived the life of ten men. He played the radio personality of Sky King on WGN, had a talk show, started businesses and felt the sting of scandal, heartache, and health problems. He even received a personal invitation from the Queen of England to visit her at Buckingham Palace.
Earl traveled exotic seas as the captain of his own ship, partied with celebrities, smoked Mafia provided illegal Cuban cigars with the mayor, and the former King of England. He dealt with PTSD, fought acromegaly, and created the largest syndicated radio program on earth. But most important, Earl taught others “The Strangest Secret” because he said:
“It would be cruel to tell people how much money I make, but it would be selfish not to show them how I did it.”
Although my dad died in 1989, his work is still popular with those interested in subjects of human character development, motivation, excellence, and a meaningful existence. Join me and my cousins on an adventure of a lifetime, as we tell The Story of Earl Nightingale and His Strangest Secret.
