This was a pretty good, short, motivating read. It felt like The Secret but actually good. It felt a little shallow--I would describe it as a good read, but not a must read.

All of these motivational, self-help books are kind of the same. The information is very similar, but if it's your first time reading about how mindset and drive can change your life, it can indeed be life changing.

Earl Nightingale’s "Lead the Field" is a timeless guide to personal and professional success, a beacon for anyone navigating the labyrinth of ambition and self-discovery. This masterpiece, much like a well-curated collection, offers enduring wisdom that resonates across generations.
"Lead the Field" opens with the powerful assertion that "We become what we think about." This simple yet profound truth sets the stage for a journey into the heart of self-mastery. It’s a reminder that our thoughts shape our reality, much like the brushstrokes on a canvas, defining the contours of our lives with each passing moment.
Nightingale emphasizes the transformative power of goals, stating, "People with goals succeed because they know where they’re going." This insight is a call to clarity and purpose, urging us to define our aspirations with the precision of an artist sketching the blueprint of a masterpiece. In a world filled with distractions, this focus becomes our guiding star, illuminating the path to achievement.
Success, as Nightingale eloquently argues, is not a product of luck but of deliberate action. "Your success will always be measured by the quality and quantity of service you render." This principle underscores the value of excellence and dedication. It's about pouring our best selves into our work, creating ripples of impact that extend far beyond our immediate circles.
Central to Nightingale’s philosophy is the Golden Rule: "Treat others the way you want to be treated." This timeless adage is the foundation of meaningful connections and lasting relationships. In the grand tapestry of life, kindness and respect are the threads that weave together the fabric of our shared human experience.
Nightingale also champions the importance of continuous learning, declaring, "One hour per day of study will put you at the top of your field within three years." This commitment to lifelong learning is a testament to the ever-evolving nature of excellence. It’s a reminder that growth is a journey, not a destination, and that each day offers an opportunity to refine our skills and expand our horizons.
Perhaps most compelling is Nightingale’s insight on attitude: "Our attitude towards others determines their attitude towards us." This perspective highlights the reciprocal nature of human interactions. Positivity begets positivity, creating a cycle of goodwill and mutual respect that enhances both our personal and professional lives.
In essence, "Lead the Field" is more than a guide to success; it is a manifesto for living a life of purpose, passion, and integrity. Earl Nightingale’s wisdom offers a roadmap to unlocking our full potential, encouraging us to lead with intention and heart. As we navigate our own paths, his timeless advice reminds us that the true measure of success lies not in what we achieve, but in how we touch the lives of others.
In the grand symphony of life, let "Lead the Field" be the melody that inspires you to reach new heights, not by mere chance, but through the deliberate orchestration of your thoughts, actions, and aspirations.

I read this because Personal-Development can be motivational. To some extent it accomplished that. But over all it was pretty meh. Maybe if you're unfamiliar with the bread-and-butter of the genre this might be worth reading. But personally I find anecdotes and metaphors quickly tiring and they sure don't move my emotions when they insult fact or reason.
