Who Moved My Cheese : An Amazing Way To Deal With Change In Your Work And In Your Life description
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 |

Unique Insight
|
First thing you need to understand before you read this book is that it was written for "All Ages" and it will probably take less than an hour to read. Many reviewers have attacked this book saying that "it insulted their intelligence" or "that it teaches you to give up too easily"; they probably needed a simpler version.
This book won't teach you anything new, heck, the story is mainly about how two mice were more successful than a couple of humans. The story is not intended to teach you anything you don't already know, its intention is to give you a unique insight on how to deal with change, so that you can enjoy less stress and more success in your life.
I would recommend this book to anyone, even if you have the perfect life, because there will always be a friend, co-worker, or family member that could use some inspirational advice.
