Rating: Summary: A good reminder lesson on change management Review: Its a quick read and great for reminding us all that change is to be embraced not resisted. Buy this book and put it on your shelf for that day that you're experiencing a particularly challenging change in your life. It'll help you keep perspective.
Rating: Summary: A New Twist on an Outdated Buzzword Review: This book would have been in style about ten years ago when "change" was the buzzword of the day. The lessons in this book are a bit moldy but of course they will always be valid.It was a fun refresher and it did cause me to think about the fundamental aspects of change and how it affects our lives. One drawback to this book was that it made me really hungry. Wait until "after" luch to read it.
Rating: Summary: A bit Cheesy Review: The audio cassette has a good point, but left the impression of having a fairy tail read to you. The point probably could have been conveyed in about 1/3d the time, but then this would not have rated a book status! I would recommend this book to someone who is frustrated at work and looking to create a different viewpoint of the situation.
Rating: Summary: For those who hate to read Review: This is a 20 minute read with a 1-minute message. If you keep on doing what you're doing, you'll keep on getting what you've got. What's remarkable is the list price of this book. Considering the size of the type and brevity of the story, a very overpriced pamphlet.
Rating: Summary: Use a lifeline Review: This book reminds you how to keep things in the perspective when life changes (and it always does, right?). I recommend this book to friends/coworkers who are facing a reorganization at work, a career change or any major life change. If you are FRUSTRATED with your situation, this book helps you think about how you are approaching (or ignoring) changes in your life. Move forward and stop chasing your tail! (Yes, Regis... that is my final answer)
Rating: Summary: Stunning Metaphor for change in our lives... Review: This book was recommended to me by the CEO of a South African Lumber company - he'd bought a dozen copies for his senior managers ... they saw the metaphor, and now joke about their "cheese" (which can represent a problem that is physical, emotional or mental). The end result is a more cohesive team. I too have bought copies for my team, and it has also had a unifying effect, creating acceptance of change!
Rating: Summary: Apparently there is a need Review: This is another study from The University of the Bloody Obvious. It is a long winded and silly way of saying. "To succeed in life you must change with the times". But apparently there is a need for this today. My son is a business consultant. He produces miillions of dollars revenue for his firm by telling people at large old companies that they must change there operations to meet competition and market conditions.
Rating: Summary: Talk about cheesy... Review: This book was a quick, useful read. For a more in-the-trenches look at just how bad a career can get, I highly recommend Monkey Business: Swinging Through the Wall Street Jungle. It's one of the funniest books I've ever read, and a real eye opener.
Rating: Summary: simply fun Review: As I read this book (at my wife's urging), I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. Many have reviewed the book as too simple. As responding appropriately to change isn't rocket science, I see this simplicity as the book's greatest strength. Similarly, many have voiced the bizarre criticism that the book doesn't focus on punishing those who moved the cheese. This criticism is especially pointless because punishment (while presumably making you *feel* better) does nothing to remedy your particular situation. Overall, I suspect your reaction to this book depends on whether you generally view life through half-full or half-empty glasses.
Rating: Summary: A self help book that men can relate to! Review: It was the title that motivated me to buy this book. I did not realize what an impact this decision would make. It is a great book for people in business and just for everyday life as well. I cannot tell you how many times I have recommended this book to friends and family and my husband has encouraged his top executives to read it as well!. It is written so that men can get it - no new age stuff here- just common sense.It is only 45 minute read but time well spent.
