“Life Fighting is fascinating. It has much sage advice and is immensely erudite and fluid. I have never seen writing so good.”
A Reviewer with Stanford University Press
“Sweet’s book is wonderful and should be savored. He offers countless insights and observations not only on his subjects, but also on life and human conduct in general. It boggles the mind how he acquired so much knowledge and wisdom in the space of a single life.”
Needham B. Whitfield, Former Chairman and CEO, Brenco, Incorporated
“I have become an avid reader of Life Fighting. I have found it to be sublime, erudite, and, above all, inspirational. It certainly stands out in the crowd for its level of depth, scholarship, and profundity. While Sweet’s work may require more of the reader intellectually than other works of a similar class, its lessons stay and take root (for instance, his incisive explication of Caesar’s Gallic campaign is a wonderful illustration of ‘do or die’).”
Clayton W. Chan, Esq.
"The breadth of Sweet's references in history and literature is staggering."
Rebecca Smithson, Philanthropist
“Sweet has managed, using a few key historical leaders, to uncover critical principles that have great relevance for us all. These principles are equally relevant for those in sports, public policy, and contemporary political life. He reminds us that the study of history remains richly rewarding.”
Dr. Philip B. Breitfeld, Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer, Champions Oncology
“Sweet’s book is excellent. He makes a strong argument for the selfishness of human nature and its origins in our evolutionary past.”
