Summary: Cheeze Whiz is more like it
Review: I must admit to gaining insight with the reading of this book. I want to go back and see if the copyright is expired on "The Little Engine that Could". What's next, management philosophies published as coloring books? I think I can...I think I can...

Summary: Things We already Knew and Didn't Need to Hear Again
Review: A great book for kids 10 and under, or adults stuck in a time warp. The simple concepts are portrayed in a storybook fashion which is cute for about a minute, and tedious forever after. We're left pondering the books great reviews and wondering what kind of revelation we've missed. In the end there is no great revelation. The simple story has a simpler point. People in general are resistant to change and will sometimes risk life and limb to avoid it at all costs. As far as advice and helpful tips on coping with it all, i'm still waiting. The people in the story would have starved to death if they didnt change, and it's possible that one of them did. i guess it's earthshaking to know that if you are going to starve its better to start searching for food than standing around waiting with ones mouth open.What a cheesey ending!

Summary: A Gentle Reminder to Question Your Assumptions
Review: Anyone who has studied how the eye works knows that we have a place where we cannot see, the so-called "blind spot" where the optic nerve is attached to the back of the eye. What we all know and tend to forget is that we each have a much bigger psychological blind spot, which is to seek out what has worked for us in the past. This simple story reminds us how big and dangerous this other blind spot is. By using a metaphor, those who are in denial about their problems (especially being stuck in a rut) will be more likely to open their minds to seeing the desirability of changing. Spencer Johnson is a good model for us because he has rewritten this book with virtually every printing to take into account what readers like you have said. So this book just keeps getting better. His subject is really about how tradition (our most imbedded habits) can become disabling. From the point of view of the psychology of changing an individual's thinking and behavior, this is the best book of all time. I recommend it several times a week to people who are feeling bereft and sad because they have to make a change, and do not want to.

Summary: I even got my father to read it!
Review: Wow! This is an amazing book! I was working in a book fair, and one night I sold 64 books, and 23 books out of that was this one. I liked it so much, I gave it to my father. my father didn't touch a book since god knows when. He isn't that well for like a year. It took him less then a week to read this book and he called me and asked who else read tjis book from our family and said I must give it to my sisters and mother. This is a great book. It takes like an Hour reading it all. Enjoy!

Summary: Worthless hooey. Negative stars if possible.
Review: I sit here in awe that this worthless waste of time and moneyhas gained mostly high reviews. The print is quite large, too. Toobad I can't rate negative stars... If you would enjoy seeing your life and livelihood described in Kindergartner's analogies, this book is for you. "So simple my fourth graders can read it," says one review above, yet they want adults at risk of losing their jobs to read this worthless drivel? Don't waste your time. END

Summary: user friendly , but decpetive in its simplicity.
Review: The old adage nothing changes if nothing changes could be a short summary of this book that explores the incredible resistance to change that is so well exhibited by homo sapiens, as Alice Miller , I believe terms it the "compulsive repition syndrome" or from an empirical approach, "If you always do what you always did you will get what you always got" A great short read.

Summary: Essential information in an friendly format
Review: I love it! I teach communication seminars and am always looking for simple, memorable lessons that participants can use to make changes in their lives. I've used this book over and over to remind people of the necessity to move with the cheese or risk having none at all. Simple tale? Sure. Thought-provoking? I think so. Effective? I know it.
