About this Event
There is ✨ An uplifting, thought-provoking morning about change, fear, and moving forward.
In this short yet powerful book, Spencer Johnson uses a simple story set in a maze to explore how we respond when life shifts unexpectedly.
Through four characters, two mice and two “Littlepeople” we gently look at:
- How we react when things change
- Why fear can keep us stuck
- The difference between resisting change and adapting to it
- How to move forward with more awareness and less stress
This book is beautifully simple, easy to read, and surprisingly profound. It opens up honest conversations about work, relationships, identity, and the changes we didn’t plan for.
What to Expect at Book Club:
☕ A warm, welcoming space
📖 Key insights and guided discussion
💭 Reflection on how change shows up in our own lives
✨ Practical takeaways to apply immediately
You don’t need to have read the book to join, curiosity and openness are more than enough.
Change happens. The question is… how do we want to meet it?

Come and join us for in-person inspirational and self-development book club events in Manchester. These gatherings are a chance to slow down, reflect, and connect with like-minded people in a warm, grounded, and supportive space. Each session will be guided by teachings from a selected self-development or inspirational book (the monthly book will be confirmed one month before the date and is chosen by members who attended previous month). The book acts as a theme and anchor, but you and your lived experience are always at the centre.
