Life is short, so it’s important to make the most of every day. There’s also plenty of time, and you don’t want to get spun up over little things. But what does make the most mean, and how do you know when enough is enough?
In Take Your Time Before Time Takes You, Professional Certified Coach Peter Dudley provides thought-provoking exercises and perspective-twisting stories that will help you answer those important questions for yourself.
This book was born from Peter’s rich life full of lived experiences many people never experience—joyful and tragic, painful and uplifting, privileged and unjust—as well as his diverse career spanning more than 30 years across a variety of industries, roles, and organization sizes. It also incorporates lessons from his professional coaching experience, helping more than 350 clients facing almost any situation imaginable.
But it’s not a memoir. It’s a guide book that can help you see yourself and your life differently, align to your core values, identify your limiting beliefs, and start taking steps to live your most fulfilling life.

Praise for Take Your Time Before Time Takes You
“Thumbs up. This is a great book with strong, meaningful content. I would recommend it as a go-to guide for people who want to improve their lives but don’t know where to start.”
“The book is influencing me to think long and hard about what I most value and what I most want—and not to make those decisions quickly.”
“I found the book very readable, understandable, and relatable. Most readers will likely find something that resonates with them—if not the entire book, then certainly major parts of it.”
“The introduction was deeply personal and touching… emotionally gripping and beautifully written. It will resonate with many readers, and for some, it may be the very reason they pick up the book in the first place.”
