About the author

My goal in writing is to share ideas, experiences, and the lessons I’ve learned. I hope to make my readers laugh, cry, consider, evaluate, and think, “I get it.” In that moment you and I will be joined across time and space. To me that is the marvel of written words. Readers, my work means nothing without you.

Heard about this book in a discussion at work, I was told it was a really exciting book that leaves you with a lot to think about. Having read this book, it is pretty much explaining that if you get to cosy in the same job for a long period you can become extinct and unemployable. So weigh up your options along the way and try and adapt to new technologies.

Generally speaking it's a poor book that really shouldn't be as famous as it is.

What I liked is the fact that the rat wrote what he learned on the wall!!
Always write down what you learned from life so you don't have to repeat your mistakes over and over again!

Is a symbolic and morally meaningful story that reveals the deepest facts about change ... The story revolves around four people, two of whom are mice, but they act like humans living in a maze, looking for pieces of cheese that provide them with food and happiness.
The cheese in this book is only metaphorical metaphor for what each of us wants to achieve in his life of dreams and goals ...
The labyrinth is a metaphor for where we look at what we want ... The heroes of this story face unexpected changes, and eventually one team succeeds in dealing with the situation successfully, writing what he learned from this experience on the walls of the maze. When you read what has been written on these walls you will discover for yourself how you can deal with change, so you can enjoy your life and reduce your stress and achieve more success
The short story is read in one session but leaves an impression for those who want to make a difference in their lives

5 🌟 My non-fiction self-help book of the year! This was recommended by a friend. It’s written in a manner that is easy to understand. The book mainly talks about change in a work environment, but then it has a metaphorical meaning referencing life. It’s basically about how some ppl can accept change quickly in life, while others they don’t accept the change and life hits them hard. The book is broken into three parts-first the story about the mice and the maze and cheese, second- the friends discussion of the cheese and mice, and the third section- is the authors discussion/interview message portion about the book. Pick it up- it’s short and quite entertaining!

Pithy, but the author made a few worthy points that seemed like common sense.
