The Book of Five Rings
Earl Nightingale recorded his essay The Strangest Secret in 1956. This recording became the first spoken message ever to receive a Gold Record by selling over one million copies. This triumph led Nightingale and his business partner, Lloyd Conant, to form Nightingale-Conant Corporation, a company dedicated to helping others achieve personal success. Nightingale created and performed more than 7,000 daily broadcasts for his popular radio program, Our Changing World; wrote and starred in many television programs; and was awarded the prestigious Golden Gavel Award from Toastmasters International.
