Synopsis

This book is about success from a very unusual perspective. Could what you consider being successful be thought of as being trapped in a 'cult' lifestyle? The authors tell us why they think what they call the American Success is the most insidious cult of all. They are right it does have access to every major corporate boardroom in America and it does permeate every strata of society, so yes it does affect millions of Americans. And what's most interesting is that this counselor and lawyer say this cult incorporates virtually every trapping of organized religion, it has an entire set of doctrines and faith practices. They ask how many times have you heard the following doctrines on the cult: Sacrifice is necessary, every successful person has to expect to make sacrifices. Intense indoctrination is required. You must spend long hours at the job if you wish to succeed. And the cultic ethic: Achieve Peak performance, beat the competition. You can worship God and Mammon. You can believe in God and worship the almighty dollar-simultaneously. Or, forget that radical religious nonsense. God is for pie-in-the-sky bye and bye. It's a surrogate religion and promises much-but delivers only heartache. Let Thomas Pike and William Procter show you how to recognize and reject this indoctrination and then help you develop your own definition of success so you can plan for a better future free from the cult. If you can answer yes to one or more of the following questions you could be a candidate for membership in the American Success Cult:
