Rating: Summary: Most outstanding book I've read this year! Review: This brief (took less than an hour to read) hit the spot. It makes you think about all of the areas of your life where you resist change and makes you question why. The most important question in the book is - "What would I do if I weren't afraid". Very powerful - What would you do?
Rating: Summary: The lamest of the lame Review: Spencer has one metaphor here, and he squeezes it dry, to no good end. It's shocking enough that he wasn't embarrassed to submit it to his publisher, but even more shocking that the publisher didn't notice that the emperor was naked. Maybe the fact that he was dancing all the way to the bank blurred their vision! (Sorry for milking my own metaphor.) (...) This book is a bad magazine article stretched beyond the max.
Rating: Summary: My worst lunch break ever Review: I just read 'Who moved my cheese' over my lunch break by request of my HOD. I have never read anything that insulted my intelligence more than this. I can't believe that people in managerial positions would get anything out of this. How anyone could even get to a position of any authority, without already understanding the ideas put across in this book is beyond me. My advice to anyone thinking of buying this book, is to go and buy a pound of good sharp cheddar instead.
Rating: Summary: 30 minutes to read, 30 minutes to change your thinking! Review: I'm not one for easy, pop psychology. This isn't easy, and it's not psycho babble. This seemingly simplistic allegory is a actually a picture of the complexities of modern life, and it what it takes to move beyond fear into into exhilieration; out of the mundane, and into joy!
Rating: Summary: What an awesome book Review: This is probably the smallest, easiest, quickest book I have ever read, but I had to read it twice it was so good. The amazing thing it that the second time I read it I got something different from the first time. If your company is going through changes or if you are going through changes in your life this is the book to read!
Rating: Summary: simply excellent Review: I live in Israel and on a kibbutz where changes are a must. As i read this book, i felt that the author was speaking directly to us. Idealogy has left the kibbutz and in order to remain a community, we have to smell the cheese and find the fresh cheese. I think it is a must for all members living here, especially those opposed to change to read the book. I also bought it in hebrew for my husband, who is on the commity for change.
Rating: Summary: Got me thinking. Now I really want to change! Review: I hope Hem realizes that he must "look for the new cheese". Otherwise, he won't experience all that life has to offer.
Rating: Summary: Watch your employees move their own cheese! Review: I would not recommend corporations supplying this book to their employees. After we were given our copy, many employees "saw the handwriting on the wall" and "looked for their cheese" - in a new organization. It was a horrible book to give people after a massive reorganization.
Rating: Summary: exellent ideas - everyone shold read this book! Review: A good simply ways to teach everybody how to adujst to new changes in ones life, and to enjoy those changes.
Rating: Summary: Encouraged me to pursue changes in my life Review: I read this book yesterday after a friend recommended it. The theme of dealing with change is well defined and inspirational. If nothing else, Johnson prods his readers to pursue the changes that need to take place. After all, perservering in an uphill battle is difficult, but maintaining the energy to continue the changes until you become content again is harder. I'm encouraged to keep reading and suggesting this book to others who will appreciate it.
