Change can be a blessing or a curse, depending on your perspective. The message of Who Moved My Cheese? is that all can come to see it as a blessing, if they understand the nature of cheese and the role it plays in their lives. Who Moved My Cheese? is a parable that takes place in a maze. Four beings live in that maze: Sniff and Scurry are mice--nonanalytical and nonjudgmental, they just want cheese and are willing to do whatever it takes to get it. Hem and Haw are "littlepeople," mouse-size humans who have an entirely different relationship with cheese. It's not just sustenance to them; it's their self-image. Their lives and belief systems are built around the cheese they've found. Most of us reading the story will see the cheese as something related to our livelihoods--our jobs, our career paths, the industries we work in--although it can stand for anything, from health to relationships. The point of the story is that we have to be alert to changes in the cheese, and be prepared to go running off in search of new sources of cheese when the cheese we have runs out. Dr. Johnson, coauthor of The One Minute Manager and many other books, presents this parable to business, church groups, schools, military organizations--anyplace where you find people who may fear or resist change. And although more analytical and skeptical readers may find the tale a little too simplistic, its beauty is that it sums up all natural history in just 94 pages: Things change. They always have changed and always will change. And while there's no single way to deal with change, the consequence of pretending change won't happen is always the same: The cheese runs out. --Lou Schuler

 Who moved my cheese? January 6, 2009
Great thought provoking team building and accountablity. I recommend the book to those who need to build positive team work.
Moving January 6, 2009
Moving...My review will be short, just like the book. I feel this book has a good moral to it....CHANGE IS GOOD. I think people are over analyzing it and are also pissed off because managers find this to be a good book to read. Universities are also making their students read this, which is the other half of the reviews for it. Just read it. Dont read anymore reviews. Do yourself the favor and read it. If you like it then give it to someone that might benefit from the read; if not then sell it to a used book store. Cant sell it, burn it for warmth, level out a table that tilts, use as a paper weight, or countless other uses. I liked the moral of the story as well a good really short read even if i dont use it in my day to day work. I found my cheese in life; have you?
 Elementary Book - and not profound January 5, 2009
I read this book in 15 minutes. Complete waste of money. It is a paper not a book. The message wasn't even that moving or revolutionary, save your money.
Your life can change almost immediatly after reading! December 29, 2008
This book was amazing for me. Results will vary on how you personalize everything that you are reading... and even more so how you apply what you've learned. You'll find most of the negative reviews are from people who don't understand what they have read or have completely missed the point.
This book is an easy read that took me about an hour or hour and a half. It is a very straightforward story that is aimed to help you adjust to changes and point out that change happens... constantly. This book is a must read for everyone who makes any kind of decision or is unsatisfied with their current situation. Again I would recommend this book to anyone who is growing up or needing to grow some more mentally. You wont regret it.
great December 29, 2008
