It felt as though I was listening to someone who embodied integrity and honour. Such correctness made me want to stand upright. There was also the relaxed soothing delivery in the authors voice.

Would you listen to The Essence of Success again? Why?
Bears repeat listening, if you can find a way of converting the audio files to remove Steve Kings' annoying preambles and interruptions.

What did you like best about this story?
Episodic format

What aspect of Earl Nightinale’s performance might you have changed?
Unfortunately, Steve King, the other narrator that introduces the passages gets in the way - the original version was just Earl. You keep thinking, "Yeah-yeah, Steve, enough already, STFU!".

Steve's introductions are utterly superfluous and pad out the audiobook with preambles of each part that Earl manages to speak himself anyway about the subject with considerable more brevity, avuncular warmth and authority. Steve seems cheesy by comparison.

Nightingale-Conant in the early days messed around far less with its archive material.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
no, it is 16 hours, probably an hour of that is padding of Steve King's cheesy 'gee whizz' comments.

Any additional comments?
The original audio has been slightly sped up and the background music is entirely unnecessary.

lacks chapter markings

Not as good as the tape cassette version
