Summary: On Moving and Cutting the Cheese . . .
Review: Reading this book can lead to the discovery of change. One's perception of change and progress can be renamed through this book alone. The hidden allegory unfolds from one chapter to the next, while at times the readers are left to wonder who's who in their own place of employment.I recommend this book for its thoughts on change and "restructuring." Should your boss recommend this book, should you yearn to rethink the world of work, should someone sneak it into your portfolio, take heed and divert your eyes to its pages for a critical reflection on your personal and professional journey.

Summary: Infantile drivel for the weak-minded
Review: This book is so lame, tedious and insulting that if your employer forces you to read it - I would strongly suggest you go in search of better cheese. I don't know what sort of person is so naive as to need the 'advice' and 'lessons' that this book supposedly teaches, but I weep for us all if there are people who can genuinely learn something from this garbage. The writing style, storyline and basic analogy are fit only for ten year olds. It might be a good read for a rotten child who is having trouble coming to terms with the basic unfairness of life, but no semi-intelligent adult should be subjected to it. The fact that this book has enjoyed so much success is a sad sign of the dismal condition of our society.

Summary: Trite and Silly
Review: This short, overpriced book states the obvious ("Change happens, go with it") in a silly story. I loved "The One Minute Manager" but this book is not in the same league.

Summary: Here's the condensed version of this book:
Review: Change is inevitable. You can choose to either embrace it and thrive, or resist it and suffer the consequences. There -- I just saved you ... and a half hour you would have wasted in reading this unbelievably simple-minded book that is unaccountably receiving rave reviews from many reviewers.

Summary: An Attitude Wake-up Call
Review: This little book was highly recommended to me by a colleague. I work in the Healthcare Industry where change is becoming a way of life. I found its lesson to be incredible pertinent. I have shared this book with over 30 managers and physicians. While the story is simplistic, it is widely applicable. ( ok, maybe a little too cute) It can be easily read in a single sitting. Share it with your staff--it will get their attention.

Summary: Inspitational and thought-provoking
Review: This book couldn't have come at a better time for me. I was unemployed for a month and despairing over whether I would find a job or not. This book woke me up and inspired me to take a chance on a career that I would not have otherwise attempted. Humorous and easy to read (read it in one sitting), but full of mind-awakening quotes. I have loaned this book out to many others, who felt the same way. Highly recommended.

Summary: Book Review of "Who Moved My Cheese"?
Review: "Who Moved My Cheese?" is very small but highly absorbing book, written in an amazingly simple way to deliver a simple, yet profound underlying message about Changes-How to accept them, both in personal life and organisational context. The author is well known medicine man, Dr Spenser Johnson, very famous for his One minute manager series of books. The book deals with a story inside a story. A group of former classmates chat about their life after high school days in a get-together meeting. One of them relates the story of Who Moved My Cheese? to the others to illustrate how this had helped him cope up in his life and at work with unwelcome changes. There are four small creatures, living and searching for cheese, their staple diet, in side a maze. Sniff and Scurry are two mice and the other two are Lilliputians. Mice don¡¦t worry themselves with thinking, analysing and worrying. They only react immediately. So, when, the reserve of cheese found out by them in the maze, disappeared they were not surprised. They didn¡¦t reflect on what they lost. They simply started searching for new store of Cheese in the maze. Their counterpart, Hem and Haw, on the contrast, always conscious of the fact that they are human and therefore more superior to the mice and hence ought to reflect and analyses every thing that comes on their way. The little people, were aghast, not seeing their well accustomed cheese, which they had started to think as their own. Hem got very angry, Haw was bewildered. As time passed, Hem got bitter and bitter. While Hem refused to do anything that might have solved the problem. He continued to come to same place, where cheese was kept, always hoping that cheese would be there. Haw, however, got wiser after much starving, that something need to be done. He laughed at himself that he wasted much precious time and set to start seeking for new cheese. He tried to reason with his friend Hem, to accompany him in his quest, but of no avail. When Haw decided to take control over his destiny by accepting the challenge, the very thought was exciting and joyful to him. He began to have fun. He could envisage new cheese. He tries again to get Hem to join him, but Hem has decided that he wouldn¡¦t like new cheese even if he found it. Eventually, the mice and Haw could locate wonderful cheese. Dr Spenser didn¡¦t tell about Hem; he may well have starved. While Haw was in his quest, he learned new things and developed a new philosophy that he wrote up in the wall of the maze: 1. Change will happen, Anticipate it. 2. Don't hang on to the (old) illusions. 3. Don't hang onto fear. Deal with rational fear and discard irrational one. 4.Watch out for little changes in situations, they could be signal for big changes. 5.By changing oneself, adapt to the changed situations. 6.Enjoy and savor the change. 7.Be ready for the new change. In this story, Cheese is the metaphor for whatever is really important to us while the maze stands for wherever we look for whatever is important to us. The cheese could be job, relationship, money, house, fame, health, excellency in sports etc. The maze is either the organisation we work for, our family, community we live in etc. Through the four caricatures, Dr Spenser, has illustrated what happens when we are confronted with Change, something we instinctively want to minimize and avoid, but that happens to us. We respond to change in a variety of ways. Many of us might not appreciate being equated to little people or mice in a maze, but the fact is, action speaks louder than our choices. From the adventure of four creatures, we see that Sniff is the seeker, always expecting change and moving forward to find alternatives. Scurry is constantly moving, never perturbed by change since he creates as much changes by change. Haw, a thinker, realizes that changes are inevitable and by learning to change with change can bring happiness. Hem is a character, prone to wait and see, never ever impressed by change and much cautious to want it. This book say that no matter what changes, we should see it as a good thing. This we all know and herein lies the power of the book. This is a parable that everybody could relate to. It is universal in scope, simple in message and true for all. The book must be read in full, enjoyed, learnt and shared widely.

Summary: Simplistic, but it has a message
Review: This is a very small and not overly challenging book with a simplistic message. Underneath the fable of the mice and the men, Johnson is dealing with change: how change can come with little warning, how different people react differently to change, how people prefer to be snug and safe and therefore fear change. The cheese here is an allegory for whatever you may value, be it money, relationships, even just cheese! What happens when your cheese suddenly vanishes and you cannot seem to get it? Do you sit and wait in the hope it will return? Do you try to find out what happened and thereby get hold of some more cheese? The book has a message so do not get put off by the fable format. What seems to be obvious and common sense is not always so in real life and sometimes a silly fable helps like a poke in the ribs. Worth a read but I find the bestseller rankings hard to believe!

Summary: Stop denying Change, another way to view change in your life
Review: Change happens. Most of the time you are not the one to initiate it or even first to notice it. Dr. Johnson has put a great story together that is easy for adults and children to use as a way to look at change. Who are you, Hem, Haw, Sniff, or Scurry? Read the book and you'll see. I read it in 1 1/2 hours (2 sessions) with my Wife and 2 children (9 and 4). It was amazing, we had the kids attention for the entire time and afterward we all had a great discussion and it has carried on for a couple of days. With many changes in our lives it was a great way to put perspective on the changes and help us with ideas about finding some "New Cheese" Buy the book and maybe you'll see that your "Old Cheese" has too much mold and you need to find some "New Cheese". I've decided to go hunting for some Extra Sharp Cheddar!
