My Name Is Earl


Earl Nightingale that is.







The "dean of personal development". I largely tend to think the mainstream, latter-day self-help, tell-me-a-Secret, eat, pray, love your way out of it movement is a racket, lacking in purity. (With five fingers' worth of exceptions.) But ol' Earl, like Florence Scovel Shinn, precedes all of that. As with many life-enhancing lessons, I got put on by a friend.
