Hustling, Happiness and a Blow-Up Doll Named Percy: An Unusual Guide to Success and Contentment by Dale Hefer is out now from Jonathan Ball Publishers.
A compelling, diverse, and often bizarre array of anecdotes that will help you navigate your business and personal lives in this most peculiar of worlds.
What do the knees of a deputy president, a blow-up doll and a model with big nipples have in common?
They all taught the author valuable life lessons.
Hustling, Happiness, and a Blow-Up Doll Named Percy tells moving personal stories from Hefer’s life: from an award-winning marketing career culminating in becoming businesswoman of the year to her journey to sobriety, and provides key lessons and essential life and business tips.
For example, why everyone needs a ‘Percy’ (a creative idea or simply the drive to do what one must to get things done). In addition to her own conclusions, Hefer draws on the wisdom of her favourite philosophers – the Stoics, business partners, friends and, of course, her mum!
Using real-life experiences and humorous stories, Hefer shows how to make some sense of this strange world and shares tips about how to navigate it so you, too, can find your own brand of
happiness and learn sound business lessons along the way.
