Sweet Success: Break Free from What's Holding You Back

Galaxies away from today's numerous clichéd self-help and sales-pitch formula books, #SweetSuccess delves into the complexities of arête--excellence--and how to achieve it in all areas of life.

The author intelligently and astutely explores myriad realms of topics that balance faiths, cultures, social mores, relational lifestyles, philosophies--the whole gamut of life--to expand and enhance readers' perspectives and worldview.

For serious students of abundant life, the following are just a few of what readers will encounter: the wisdom of Socrates; genius of Hippocrates; talents of Mozart and da Vinci; creativity of The Beatles and Duke Ellington; beauty of poetry; courage of Captain James Cook; seriousness of the Sapri-Whorf hypothesis; imagination of Virginia Woolf and Stephen King; daring of Evel Knievel, and the humorous and intriguing life of the well-traveled, well-schooled, and well-read author himself.

Author David Sweet writes: We are born an animal, a homo sapien, and each of us needs to progress into being a human: moving from just an animal with opposable thumbs who collects the most sticks in the best cave or in our modern-day collection of money and the creature comforts of home and food and Netflix, into something greater that creates, develops, and helps the human race progress.
