Rating: 5 stars
Summary: EASY READ, USEFUL IN CAREER AND HOMELIFE.
Review: THIS IS AN ADVENTURE IN THE USE OF COMMON SENSE! GOOD USE OF IMAGERY AND HOW THE STORY CONNECTS WITH EVERYDAY LIFE. GOOD FOR TEENS AS WELL!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: From Middle School Students to Senior Citizens! GREAT!
Review: I found WHO MOVED MY CHEESE to be a simple, yet delightful book. If you are a person who learns through and/or remembers analogies/metaphors, this is a great book for you. I plan to use this book for a prevention/intervention teenage "book club" that will focus on dealing with change (something that students need now and will continue to need as the world changes at an alarming rate). This book puts in empathetic and simple terms the stress and anxiety that change inflicts on humans. It is a refreshing change - a book that can be read, understood and is applicable for middle school students to senior citizens.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: the emperor has NO CLOTHES
Review: Do yourself a favor: DON'T jump on this bandwagon. Join the ranks of those of us who have read this and revolted: the emporer is naked. Can we all just admit it and get this OFF the topsellers list? There is NOTHING of value in this book. "The Story" is too stupid to even qualify as trite.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: be adaptive or extinct
Review: yes that's what "who moved my cheese" intimates to the reader. the author must've taken a lot of pain to bring such simple facts of life in a simple language. the book differs from other conventional "moral boosters". it really keeps the reader interested in "what next". here he took ther example of two mouse and two small people. the principles of the story are narrated in simple and interesting way.
the book can easily be corelated to day to day life

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Short and to the point
Review: A very good little book on moving with change, rather than against it. Most of the negative reviews here are from people who are bitter about being impacted by changes and totally missed the point of the book. If you read the book I'm sure you will figure out which character they are.

This isn't any deep study on the subject of change, just a simple story that may help some people start looking at changes in their life a little differently. Basically, change can be a good thing, complaining on and on about it does you little good.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Beware the Cheese!
Review: "I like to give this book out to all my employees before I lay them off. It helps the realize the importance of not resisting change and diverts their energies to infighting among theselves. It also makes me feel less guilty. Whenever I meet someone I poleaxed recently, I think to myself, 'Sure I fired you. But at least you got a parting gift.' This book is like businessmen's Turtle Wax. I heartily recommend that every ruthless corporate raider buy it in bulk before going on a hatchet spree." - from Mason Brown's parody, "Who Cut the Cheese" available through Amazon.com

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Who wrote this carp?
Review: The only thing worse than read this piece of lightweight pap that passes for workplace philosophy is sitting through a 3-hour presentation of it complete with overheads and video. Actually it's worse realizing that people are making money from writing, selling and teaching this nonsense. Wait - it's worse to realize corporate America would rather spend money on these worthless and degrading seminars than to give out raises....

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not bad, but definitely not the new "7 Habits..."
Review: The book is so easy to follow that I could read it in little over an hour, and I'm nothing close to a fast reader. It deals with a metaphor for dealing with change incarnated in the stories of different mice 'trapped' in a labyrinth trying to find their way back to the cheese they were so used to.

There are those who easily adapt to change, and even are ready for it before it arrives; those who have a bit of a hard time adapting to it, but still end up getting used to it; and, then, those who will never be able to cope with change. Success belongs to the first, and partly to the second group.

There goes the story... Bad? Not at all, but I don't know if a book is needed to cover this topic. If you're thinking of this book as new "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" I hate to have to bring down your expectations: far from it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Short but very meaningful
Review: This book is very short as it can be read in an hour or so. The message; however, is very meaningful and doesn't need 300 pages of filler. The book will be very helpful to people dealing with change if they apply the principles set forth here.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: You are a moron if you like this book.
Review: There is a sucker born every minute and they have all bought this book. No wonder the self-help industry makes so much money. So many people think that reading a book like this will change their life when the only way to change a life is to take action, not read a book full of generic parables.
This book is full of advice that everyone knows, so why do they buy this book? I feel sorry for all of those who had to read this thing in a corporate or motivational environment. This book is so insulting, now you know what your management or leadership really thinks about you. They think you are an idiot. Come on, life and business isn't as hard as Dr. Spencer makes it out to be. Remember, business isn't life or death, and its not what truly matters, so quit looking for your salvation in a meaningless, overpriced book.
