Summary: We need some wine to go with this cheese
Review: The idea behind the book is good - to remind people how easy it is to get into a rut without even knowing it. The book is to simplistic. Change management should have been explored more.

Summary: What's wrong with simple?
Review: For those of you that responded with such distaste for this book...relax. This book was awesome! In fact, I just bought 40 more for my staff.In a world of email, palm pilots, pagers and cell phones I am on information overload. So I ask, what is wrong with taking an hour out of your life to read something simple, yet thought provoking. Sure we all hear the change rhetoric but many people are fearful of how change will impact them. Remember what Albert Einstein once said, "Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler." Enjoy the book!

Summary: A Great Book
Review: If only I hadn't taken my last class at GSB, I would have thought that this book was a waste of paper. However, it does have some great points so give this book to your parents. I think they will love it.

Summary: Mixed Bag
Review: This is a good book if you're looking for ways as to how to cope with times of change. However, is not a leadership book, the author wants to convince the reader based on other's experiences. Another bad thing about this book is that it is not professional at all; the author is a Ph.D in psicology and he gives no account of that. The lack of deep explanation and further information can sometimes damage the over all reading and learning experience.

Summary: Worth the read
Review: I didn't have the spare cash to buy it... The great thing ort i It's easily digestable. Even though, yes, a lot of the advice is common sense -this little book can, at the same time, affect your life more than the some of the top achievement books. The reason: the playful, animated images that are left in your head after putting the book down. What was left in my head and *won't* go away, thankfully, is the image of HAW, one of the "littlepeoples", who drew on the wall just before venturing out in the scary unknown of new behavior: "What would you do if you weren't afraid?". I keep on imagining myself, a littlepeople in a mouse maze, asking myself that question and applying it to my current challenges. So what would *you* do, if you could do ANYthing to change your life, if you weren't afraid of the risk of that new behavior? Could be a life-impacting question.

Summary: Great reading--If you're 12!
Review: This book contains some of the most banal prose I've ever read. The book reads for a sixth-grade reading level. Then there's the obvious theme: accept change. After living in the real world for the past 20+ years, who doesn't know that s/he must accept change? I'm saddened, because of the high sales of this book, to wonder about the literacy level of many managers.

Summary: There's nothing amazing about this book...
Review: In my quest for another motivational work, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, I ran across Who Moved My Cheese? When I picked it up, and found out that the company I worked for used this book, I figured it would be worth reading...Boy was I wrong! Although the point of the story was simple enough, the truth is the company that I work for simply changes too much...One minute, one group is handling some business function, the next they're doing something else...It gets aggravating trying to keep up with the flavors of the week in the business world...And it becomes particularly demoralizing when you witness friends being let go, because a leader in the industry made some bad business decisions... The only good thing about this book is its length...Could you imagine actually having to swallow 200+ pages of this bunk?

Summary: This cheese became moldy after a short time!
Review: I am a business student who has had the theme of change beaten into my brain in almost every class I've taken. Living, working, and going to school here in Silicon Valley, you get very accustomed to change. Therefore this book lacks the force it would otherwise have if it offered something new. After reading the first two short chapters, it became all too predictable. In fact, I found it's use of metaphors to be its only novelty.

Summary: This "book" made my flesh crawl, in a BAD way.
Review: This is quite possible the WORST book I have ever read. Was forced to endure this "book" as part of a leadership academy and can not even begin to express my revulsion at this text; I would rather recommend that one read Gilgamesh and gain more insight into being a good and happy person. Or even James Kelman's How Late It Was rather than this clap-trap. Let me summerize the book for you: Four characters, two mice and two people. Mice are called Sniff and Scratch, the people Hemm and Haw. (You see where this parable is going.) Mice know to move on and accept change, especially when they want that which makes them happy. People don't. Ultimately this book ignores much Eastern philosophical tradition, insomuch as it emphasizes "place" rather than "journey" in attainment of happiness, as though "getting there" is the point at all. Need help accepting change and locating happiness? Go buy some flowers or plant a tree. The time and money will be better spent than reading this tycoon-making bit of happy-feely nonsense!
