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 ...

#My boss made me read it... (2009-03-05) Overall, this aweful little piece of mindless literature is clearly a tool of corporate America and has obviously spread like a brainwashing cancer through the system. Do yourself a favour: -If you are being told to read this by an employer, make sure you don t have to buy it yourself and even then only pretend to read it. -If you are in management, you are clearly trying to tell your employees to shut up and do what you say. This is going to lead to a revolt. . . idiot. In short, if you feel like reading useful material about cheese, buy ...

#More Moving Than Cheesy (2009-02-19) The reviews of this book seem to be split right down the middle. I side with the multiple-star reviewers. Yes, this is a simplistic book, but it is deceptively simple. And when you actually practice the principles that are described in this parable -- accepting what is, taking appropriate action, and thinking positively -- your life can change for the better in a profound manner. I have often been told that my own book is the spiritual side of this same story. Well, now that I have read Who Moved My Cheese?, and I like it, Im going to take ...

#Entertaining Lesson (2008-10-07) A short story about 2 mice and 2 little people in a maze looking for cheese. Of course cheese is just a metaphor for what you want in life (such as money, the ideal job), and the maze represents where you are looking for what you want (such as your family, an organization). As the story goes, one of the characters (Haw) learns to deal with change successfully and writes what he has learned on the maze wall. In this way, the reader gets the main points in the book and can learn too how to deal with life s changes. A little book that is big on w...

#start a discussion on change (2008-09-28) Written with the fable of two mice, I have used this book to start the discussion on change and resistance to change. Which mouse do you most closely identify with and why? The book is a quick easy read, and provides some insight into behavior that we all identify as the other guys, not our own. Worth the money spent.
