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.
