I cant believe that! said Alice.
Cant you? the Queen said in a pitying tone. Try again: draw a long breath, and shut your eyes.
Alice laughed. Theres no use trying, she said: one cant believe impossible things.
I daresay you havent had much practice, said the Queen. When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes Ive believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.

O UT OF THE M AZE
The story of Who Moved My Cheese? was originally created by Dr. Spencer Johnson to help him deal with a difficult time in his life. After years of sharing his little fable with others and seeing how much it helped them in their lives and work, he made the story into a short book.
Within six months of publication, Spencers little parable had more than one million hardcover copies in print, and within five years, more than 21 million copies. In 2005 Amazon reported that Who Moved My Cheese? was their number-one best-selling single book title of all time.
Over the years Spencers beloved classic has found its way into homes, companies, schools, churches, the military, and sports teams. It has spread around the world in many foreign languages. Its readers and fans have reported that the wisdom they found in reading the story has improved their careers, businesses, health, and marriages. Its appeal has been universal.
Yet Spencer felt there were still some unanswered questions.
Many people who read the original story, he wrote in his notes for this sequel, wanted to know more about why and how. Why do we adapt sometimes and do well in changing times, while at other times we dont? And how can we adapt in a changing world sooner and more easily, so were happier and more successful, however we define what success is for us?
The answer to those questions, Spencer felt, could best be found and expressed by taking the Cheese story one crucial step further.
Who Moved My Cheese? showed its readers a pathway for adapting to change in their lives and work.
Now Out of the Maze provides the tools to help you step onto that path and not only adapt to change, but change your destiny.
by Emerson Johnson, Austin Johnson, and Christian Johnson
We are very happy that you are about to read Out of the Maze.
From an early age, our father always enjoyed looking for ways to help people. When he was a teenager he started a swim school to help other neighborhood kids swim. As a young adult he trained as a surgeon, then discovered his true passion was writing. Through his writing he felt he could be of service to a greater number of people.
We miss him dearly and are incredibly proud of his contributions to the world.
He himself often used the words and aphorisms in this story, throughout both the highs and lows of his life. When he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, they helped him view his illness in a new light before he passed. They gave him the tools to embrace the change he was facing with love and gratitude.
At the end of the story we have shared a letter he wrote in the final stages of his illness, which we feel illustrates the extent to which he used these insights within his own life.
We hope you enjoy this book, and wish you the very best.

July 2018
O NE CRISP AUTUMN day, a group of people met for another session of a weekly business development seminar. This was their next to last class, and for today they had been assigned to read a little story about two characters, Hem and Haw, who each responded very differently to change. The book was called Who Moved My Cheese?
Dennis, the seminar leader, called the class to order.
Okay, everyone, I want to start off with a question: Who the heck did move our cheese, and what are we gonna do about it?
The students laughed. Dennis had a way of putting them at ease, yet they also knew he had some serious insights when it came to business.
They began discussing the book. Some said they had gotten a lot out of the story, both in their work and in their personal lives.
Some, though, had questions.
I get the whole thing about adapting to change, said Alex, who worked in the tech industry. But thats easier said than done. How exactly do we go about doing that?
Mia, a doctor, agreed. Some changes seem easy to go with. But some seem really difficult.
And my job hasnt just changed, Alex added. Seems like its disappearing completely.
Me, too, said Brooke, who was in publishing. Sometimes it feels like I dont even recognize the field Im in anymore.
Sometimes I dont recognize my life anymore, said Alex. The others laughed. Seriously, he said. So much is changing at once. Id Move with the cheese if I couldbut half the time I have no idea where the cheese even went!
While this was going on, a young man in the back, Tim, raised a hand and said something.
Dennis put up both hands to stop the action, and once everyone else had quieted down, he asked Tim to repeat his question so they could all hear it.
Tim cleared his throat and said, What about Hem?
Alex turned to look back at the young man. What about him?
Tim said, Whatever happened to him?
The room fell silent, as everyone thought back to the story of Hem and Haw and asked themselves the same question.
Thats what I want to know, Tim continued. Because honestly, Hem is the character in the story that I most relate to.
