Career Success: Recognizing Richard Rabbit

In one of the most difficult economic environments on record, American workers are struggling to achieve career success with half their brain tied behind their backs. At least that’s the provocative claim by Peter Weddle, the author of an innovative, new business fable entitled, Recognizing Richard Rabbit. “It’s astonishing just how effective American workers have been, given that most are not using all of the talent with which they’ve been endowed,” says Weddle. “If they’re creative, they rely on the right hemisphere of their brain and ignore the left. If they’re analytical, they turn to the left hemisphere of their brain and forget about the right. It’s a natural propensity, but one with especially serious implications today.” Weddle further adds, “In effect, America’s working men and women are confronting the most challenging workplace and the most difficult job market in several generations, and doing so with just half of the insight and wisdom they possess.” Weddle’s new book, Recognizing Richard Rabbit is designed to correct that shortcoming, a fable which explores the secret to personal effectiveness. Says Weddle, it’s a tale about some forest animals that learn just what it takes to find “the You of your dreams,” the authentic person who represents the best of you that you can be. Unlike traditional fables, however, Recognizing Richard Rabbit empowers the reader to acquire this self-knowledge by using all of their brain. Weddle’s book uses both the right hand and left hand side of the page to stimulate both sides of the brain: The right hand page of the book puts forth a fable which encourages readers to use the right hemisphere of their brain to tap their imagination and discover their own true self. The left hand page of the book offers a self-interview that parallels the fable and poses a series of probing questions that ask readers to use their logic to identify and overcome the impediments to being faithful to themselves. Together, says Weddle, these two pathways bring the reader to a more complete and wholesome recognition of their best self so that they can be the masters of their career.

networldingblog.comnetworldingblog.comI recently read a book by author Michael Rosenbaum titled, “Your Name Here: Guide to Life.” I find this book to be extremely helpful in my career success and over success in life. He is a very inspirational writer and makes the book a very easy read as his stories are very relatable. I suggest you read his reviews on Amazon and check out an interview that made me laugh out loud at http://www.networldingblog.com/2009/08/01/great-new-book-your-name-here-guide-to-life-interview-with-mike-rosenbaum/
