The Peacock Project, by Jacqueline Holzel

Dear Reader,
If you have this script before your eyes, it can mean only one of two things. Option 1 would be that I have, most unfortunately, passed on to the great heavens, whilst someone (perhaps you) has stumbled upon my most treasured notes. Or, more favorably (at least to me), Option 2 has transpired.
Option 2 is that I am, thankfully, alive, and I have overcome my fear of public ridicule. It also means that I have decided to share and entrust my fantastical experience to you and future generations.
If you decide to continue reading about my adventure, you will soon understand the basis for my hesitation and fear. It was easy to assume that others would not believe me and that I would become a laughingstock. Let me assure you: when the event unfolded, I was in disbelief too, so I will not judge you if you remain skeptical. Even with being present that evening, my brain initially fought the memories of what transpired. However, I remain hopeful that my discovery at the end of my encounter will ultimately sway you to the opinion that I am indeed sane.
Therefore, I humbly implore your further patience while the story unravels for your judgment. Let us begin, then, shall we?

"This book was made to be used as a management escape tool.... Life is hard and work can be, at times, well, stressful. In order to be productive, and in order to harness our imaginations so they can then be tasked with developing the next newest “thang” on the market or come up with the next idea that will bring incredible growth to our employers—we first need to have permission. We need to have permission for our minds to escape ... from mediocrity and complacency that is rampant in our daily lives." ~ From pp. 29–30 of The Peacock Project.
