audiobook series on self-motivation, on how to use the
Internet, on health, on goal setting, and on all the use-
ful subjects that we need to think about if we’re going
to grow.
As Emerson once said, “We become what we think
about all day long.” (I first heard that sentence, years
ago, while driving in my car listening to an Earl Night-
ingale audio program!) If we leave what we think about
to chance, or to a tabloid radio station, then we lose a
large measure of control over our own minds.
Many people today drive a great deal of the time.
With motivational and educational audiobooks, it has
been estimated that drivers can receive the equivalent
of a full semester in college with three months’ worth
of driving. Most libraries have large sections devoted
to audiobooks, and all the best and all the current
audiobooks are now available on Internet bookseller’s
sites.
Are all motivational programs effective? No. Some
might not move you at all. That’s why it’s good to read
the customer reviews before buying an audio program
over the Internet.
But there have been so many times when a great
motivational audio played in my car has had a positive
impact on my frame of mind and my ability to live and
work with enthusiasm.
One moment stands out in my memory above all oth-
ers, although there have been hundreds. I was driving
in my car one day listening to Wayne Dyer’s classic au-
dio series, Choosing Your Own Greatness. At the end of
a long, moving argument for not making our happiness
dependent on some material object hanging out there
in our future, Dyer said, “There is no way to happiness.
Happiness is the way.”
