Hence, my books portray human nature to a depth where the study of psychology cannot reach, each character an easily recognizable personality and together in pursuit of a positive future. Since then I have been a writer of both fiction and non-fiction books inspired by the inborn differences that influence the beliefs, behavior and natural talents of every person on Earth.Although I enjoy writing non-fiction books, I believe that fiction is best suited to help bridge those natural differences. When my children went off to university, I decided to join them and get a degree in philosophy.
In the meantime we had moved from Europe and the UK to the USA, Australia and now New Zealand.Nearly twenty years ago I became interested in the theory of psychological types of Carl Jung (and of Myers-Briggs and David Keirsey) which has changed my perspective on life completely and which I have made my special interest of study. That was one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. More recently I added hypnotherapy to my healthcare training.After my children were born, I changed to education and worked a few years as a Montessori teacher before opting to educate my own children at home. Those experiences still provide a lot of the material for my books. The author, Robert Newton Peck, also wrote the popular book A Day No Pigs Would Die.I started my career in physical and mental healthcare, tropical nursing and midwifery, including an assignment with Medecins sans Frontieres to Columbia and four summers in a camp for children with type one diabetes. Soup and Me and Soup For President were adapted into half-hour television episodes starring Christian Berrigan and Shane Sinutko for the series The ABC Weekend Special.
There are several sequels to this book, including Soup and Me, Soup for President, Soup on Fire, Soup's Hoop, and Soup 1776. Typical moments include the boys losing their clothes and stealing more from a rummage sale that only has clothing for women, or Soup painting his name on a barn without permission and running the "p" over onto the corner, causing the farmer to yell "'Souf'! I'll get you 'Souf'!" Robert is also shown to have a crush on classmate Norma Jean Bissel. Their frequent villains are school bully Janice Riker and Eddy Tacker. However, they are best friends and watch out for one another. Robert is more sensible but less wily, and frequently finds himself conned into doing Soup's dirty work. Soup is a well-meaning, but mischievous schemer, constantly coming up with elaborate plans that invariably land him and Robert in trouble. It takes place during the 1930s in a small town in Vermont, and deals with the daily lives of the main characters. Its main characters are two boys, Robert (the narrator) and his close friend Luther, better known as "Soup". Soup is a 1974 children's novel by Robert Newton Peck.
