Summary: Who moved my wallet?
Review: Great, another management book. Is there anyone in America who is NOT an expert on the basic commonsense notions of organizations? I suggest buying some real cheese (you can almost get enough real Parmesan to flavor pasta for four) instead. You'll feel better, and if you've never had real Parmesan, you'll learn a lot.

Summary: Who Stole My Cheese?
Review: 1. This book is wrong. It teaches that you must accept change without regard to whether it is appropriate it not. It teaches that you must not struggle, you must not fight. You must simply accept whatever change happens. This is the perfect book to distribute when a company is going through reorganization.2. This book is inspirational. I mean inspirational in the sense that you can take a primitive and silly story, wrap some gibberish around it, bind it in hardcover and sell it for $20. 3. This book is horrible and has almost absolutely no value. The only way you might find value in this book is if you have no sense of self. It could be called "How to take a five-minute dinner story and turn it into a boring book." 4. There are two mice (or toolittlepeople) --- Spence Johnson and Ken Blanchard --- who stole my cheese. From my pocket. The only advice: please be careful. And save your money.

Summary: "What would you do if you were not afraid?"
Review: This small book has a simple story about two mice and two small men. All four want cheese (ultimate happiness) and live in a maze. The mice are dumb but active and they find new cheese stocks when old ones finish. Men are, however, intelligent and they frequently disagree on ways to find new cheese stocks. Story tells you how the men deal with difficult and ambiguous situations and what lessons they learn. We all have changes happening around us and decisions to make in response. The message from the book is: WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE NOT AFRAID? Take a little risk to find your cheese in life. You might be lost in the maze and die but it's better than being lost in your home and live.

Summary: Soon to be a pamphlet?
Review: An inspiring parable. However, I must agree with some of the other reviewers who pointed out the high price. Until they release a paperback version for less money, I would recommend borrowing the book instead. I disagree with the reviewers who felt the story was "corporate propaganda". One of the points made in the story, is that when the cheese begins to look moldy, be prepared to abandon it for better cheese. I took this to mean you should consider heading down the maze to look for a better "cheese station". The parable teaches that you must see yourself in control of your situation, blaming others only gives you an excuse to remain lazy.

Summary: Ways to Make Change Work for You, Not Against!
Review: As an author and seminar trainer for the last 20 years on life strategies, I know that nothing creates change in people as much as a story, especially one entwined with self-help concepts. Spencer Johnson's simple book is filled with important advice that not only can be used in the workplace, but in everyone's personal life as well. "Who Stole My Cheese," shows you how to think differently and to accept change and problems as inevitable... that all your obstacles are gifts for new growth and beginnings. This book is necessary and important for everyone in our ever-changing world.

Summary: Ok, I guess.....
Review: This is an ok book, but I kept waiting to find out what type of cheese Spence likes to eat. I wanted to find out and then why someone would want to take another mans cheese? I know that I like Gouda. It tastes great and leaves no greasy after stains. Anyway if you need help for life et. al. This book attempts to show you how. Still needs more about cheese.

Summary: Easy to read
Review: I think the story is quite simple and yet it means a lot ofthings. It encourages people to overcome fear and achieve their goals.

Summary: A new low for the business world...
Review: This book has the most condecending and insulting message of any of the new religion in the business world books. It's an "us verses they" message that is conveyed in this book and only serves to further erode the morale of employees in the workplace. My office purchased 200 copies of this book and distributed them to each employee. We had meetings and discussions about this book and it's "insights" just prior to another reorganization. In essence they were telling us to keep our mouth shut and go with the flow, or get out.

Summary: Who Moved My Cheese?
Review: I LOVED this book. I originally bought it to get some insight on my relationship issues, but as I read I realized that the "cheese" could be ANYTHING I needed it to be (relationship, work, ministry. . .). This parable really helped me to get focused - not focused on what I had loss but all the WONDERFUL Cheese I still have to gain! :-)

Summary: Obvious
Review: It is hard to face changes and this book makes the reading about it very easy. The style is one of its strenghts. But then the obvious comes too often and you may soon find out that you are reading what you already know. And you may be pretty right.
