The author weaves in the coaching and psychology toolkit so smoothly that it leaves the feeling of a friendly chat, rather than a task your therapist gives you. Life stories make the toolkit and message easy to comprehend and relate to.
Overall voice intonation gave comforting and nurturing experiences to me as a listener.
There was only one disturbing moment: in each day clothing Michelle voice was pitching in the whistling register to simulate the excitement.

The problem is the maze in the mouse.

This book in a form of fable inspires the reader to reconsider our social conditioning, values and norms set by others for us; while we find ourselves as one of the protagonists asking uncomfortable “why“ questions, and struggling with being hushed up by those in masses surrounding us, narrative of this story inspires us to tap into our truths, find our voice.

The story exposes the biggest vice of cowardice and that most of people would prefer someone else to think for them, and feel intimidated to question the need of a maze existing and its norms, as even thought of this “why” would show absurdity of what most of them are conditioned to aim for.

But “some “lives are too big” to be kept in a maze.

The author challenges through the example of three brave mice to carve yourself out of the ought to be, and start your own game, facing the consequences of the mental divorce from social conditioning.

He poses plenty of questions in the end, that surely will make one’s mind busy, shaping the new outlook for a desired life and x-raying the mazes inside.

Beautifully written and incredibly powerful story.
