Thought Leader, recruiter, HR consultant and business CEO turned author,commentator and my friend, Peter Weddle is launching his latest but most sentimental book yet, “Recognizing Richard Rabbit - A Fable about Being True to Yourself“

Peter was kind enough to overnight a copy before I boarded a plane and much to my pleasure I am glad I had it in my hands when I did. As loosely based as you might assume this book is to our industry, much like “Who Ate My Cheese” - this book is timeless in that it restores your sense of place in friendships and community. Best of all, you get quality and value in a quick and enjoyable read with 107 pages for only $11.95 in paperback.

“You can learn a lot from animals, especially when you listen with both your heart and your mind.

Recognizing Richard Rabbit is a fable for adults, young and not so young. In the genre of Who Moved My Cheese?, it’s a tale about some forest friends who make an amazing discovery by trying to help one of their own. What do they learn? The key to uncovering your own true self. The secret to authentic living.

Even better, this book gives you two ways to find the answer: one in fiction, the other in nonfiction. The fable invites you to tap your creative talent, while a parallel self-interview draws on your analytic ability. Each provides a different perspective, a different way of seeing the singular person you are meant to be.

Why bother? Because whether you’re a recent graduate or a Baby Boomer, whether you’re looking for a way to get more satisfaction from your work or trying to reenter the workforce after an extended absence, the key to success is a deep understanding of the real you. That’s the carrot this book offers … the You of your dreams.”

I strongly recommend ordering Peter’s book today at Amazon.com, WEDDLEs.com and in many bookstores throughout the country.
