Who Moved My Cheese : An Amazing Way to Deal With Change in Your Work and In Your Life

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Motivator for Life's Little Changes
Review: I have many things going on in my life: I work full time as a network admin for a large fortune 500 company, I own two businesses on the side and run a worldwide women's organization, I belong to several professional associations, and I have a husband and just found out I was 9 weeks pregnant. Talk about change! After reading this book, which was given to me from a client when I moved from Hawaii to New Mexico, I was smiling from ear to ear. Change is so frequent in my life that the best way for me to deal with it is to learn from Hem, Haw, Sniff and Scurry and motior change and grow with it. I loved this little book. It was so great that I will order several copies for co-workers, executives, and my organization members. I highly recommend this short, but highly effective book. Thank you Dr. Spencer Johnson!

Summary: This Book Can Change the Way You view Change - if you let it
Review: Simple yes. Very simplistic, in fact. But that doesn't disguise the fact that this fable (and admitedly mgt. book of the hour) has much to teach. If you think its teachings are too simple, read it over. If it's still too simple ask yourself about how you acted when faced with change in your life. There's nothing wrong with inventing new fables to teach people. We don't always need 300 pages of dense prose to distill a thought.

Summary: A life changing book
Review: It is one of the best books I have ever read. Should be read by everyone. It's like placing a mirror in front of you and daring to look. Sometimes the image isn't that flatering.

Rating:
Summary: The best for knowing if you're going in the right direction.
Review: If you don't know where you're going, how will you know when you get there? This book helps to determine if your efforts are going to get you to where you really want to be in five or ten years from now. It's written in a lovable, laughable and yet realistic manner in which everyone can identify. It's an easy read -- 45 minutes to an hour, very entertaining while highly informative and instructive.

Summary: Love it or Hate it
Review: OK, so everyone else either loves this book or they just plain hate it. I find myself somewhere in the middle. Granted it is a bit cheesy for upper management, but I think we just need to find the right audience. Young children to be sure would not be impressed for long, although the cheese drawings might encourage coloring. Middle management - ah that's anyone's guess (if the shoe fits, wear it). Maybe the newest generation to hit the workforce would appreciate it. After all, from Demming to Dilbert, redundancy is the worst medicine. If the 20-somethings haven't been bored to tears yet, maybe they can glean some of this book's insight. The book may be a bit slow and a bit repetitive, but it is full of insight. I plan to try and give this book to someone who desperately needs it (and I can only hope they will appreciate it). This book is not about the superficiality of change, but rather I believe it can affect one's entire life outlook. For those who are untaught, yet teachable, gems await.

Summary: Latest Hot Mangement Fad
Review: This book was given out to the top and middle management in our organization and rapidly became the flavor of the day. We peons were smothered with insider "cheese" references from apple polishers for far too long afterwards. I managed to sneak a peak at this fountain of wisdom during my lunch break, and was less than impressed. The book's key points - stating the obvious using cute mouse/cheese imagery - were made in the first few pages of the book. These management fads have really deteriorated in recent years. At least applying Miyamoto Musashi's "The Book of Five Rings" or Sun-Tzu's "The Art of War" to business exposed the reader to literature instead of simplistic pap.

Rating:
Summary: A bit juvenile & repetitive.
Review: I understood early in the story that change was not to be feared. This would inspire me, in my work life, to look for another job when faced with a changing work environment. However, I was hoping for insight on how to deal with change without having to "scurry" away. I wanted to buy this tape for my team of co-workers but I don't want them abandoning ship so I will keep it to myself. Also, the repitition of the theme seemed to bore even my kids.
