Publisher's summary

The long-awaited sequel to Who Moved My Cheese?, the beloved 28-million-copy best seller that became a worldwide sensation.

In his trademark style that has won tens of millions of fans, Dr. Spencer Johnson once again shares a simple story that offers profound truths about how to transform your life.

When we first met them in Who Moved My Cheese?, two mouse-sized characters named Hem and Haw were faced with unexpected change, when the Cheese they loved suddenly disappeared. Haw learned how to deal with that change successfully by setting off in search of New Cheese. But Hem remained stuck where he was. Now Out of the Maze reveals what Hem did next - and how his discoveries can help you unlock the riddle of whatever mazes you may face yourself.

When you follow Hem and his new friend, Hope, on their new journey, you'll discover how to get more out of life by thinking outside the box. Or, in this case, outside the Maze.

For all ages and backgrounds, this audiobook is less than an hour and a half long, yet its insights can last for a lifetime.

Critic reviews

"Out of the Maze is a short, sweet, cheesy (yes) book - but it’s a calming, quick read and is likely to be in huge demand as an optimistic, accessible way to start thinking about change." (The Financial Times)

"This story is for everyone who is facing a difficult situation in life - which everyone does at one time or another. Has something disappeared in your life, much like the two main characters, Hem and Haw, lost their cheese? You can stop going about trying to retrieve what you’ve lost and escape from a maze of indecision. [Out of the Maze] truly can help you let go of old baggage and explore the impossible by choosing a new belief." (Florida Times-Union)

The maze is not the final destination

Great quick book! It's not rocket science but often times simple books like these make the deepest impact! I think reading this book once a month will help from returning back to the same old maze.

Loved it !

This small story makes you question your beliefs , and helps you understand that sometimes we hold old beliefs that no longer serve us and that there’s always a way to make changes 🧠

May be the shortest... and most life-changing book I’ve read this year!

This should be required reading for every human being on earth - at some point in their life!

A great tie into the first book

The first book “Who Moved My Cheese” was absolutely brilliant in my opinion. But this book is even better. It’s one thing to understand life’s challenges and how we deal with them mentally. But it’s another to open up our minds on how we can change them mentally. This is definitely a tool that I will not only use in my own life. But one that I will share with others.
