The Strangest Secret
Ratings8
Average rating3.7
For a book ‘written’ (recorded) so long ago, it remains poignant and summarises a lot of the self-help industry’s messaging succinctly. Obviously it lacks nuance (and you have to look past the male-centricism which is understandable for a 1950s work), but it was still a rapid reminder of basic self-help principles.
My edition also included a bonus book “How To Create Million Dollar Ideas” also by him, which I found introduced more new ideas to me. I particularly enjoyed his prompts inviting the reader to reflect on creativity in their lives.
