Who Moved My Cheese? An Amazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life

Rating:
Summary: Will you please leave my cheese alone?
Review: Why do people feel the need to touch my food? Really now!
Do I go over to your house during dinner hour and start messing with your meatloaf? No.
With that said and done, I think the author has shed alot of light onto my work habits. Just now I've altered my work habits by writing this review at work! These testcases I'm writing? Why they aren't being written right now, which will cause a slight delay in our software release. The result will be some serious questioning by my manager and a possible termination in employment. Spencer Johnson hit the nail on the nose in saying that this book will change my work and my life. Now I'm looking for new employment and rent is due next week! Zoinks!

Summary: INANE GARBAGE
Review: This is easily the worst book I have ever read. It talks to the readers as if they are idiots. The authors take the same old worn out subject of change and how it can benefit you if you are willing to recognize it and move with it, taking risks if necessary. This is an incredibly simplistic attempt to condemn the individual for not fulfilling their dreams or ambitions, when in the real world our society is a complex system in which all can not possible success, personally or professionally. That is evident in the control that 1 percent of the population who owns 90 percent of the wealth has. This book at the least is childish at the worst a blatant attempt to sell the reader on the flawed American Horatio Alger line, which is unobtainable for most people.

Summary: Annoying Book!
Review: The moral of the cheese story can be summarized in one phrase --"change is good." Even idoits should know this. I felt like this book was written for a five year old. If the book had used the standard size font, it would only consist of 5 pages. No book has annoyed me as much as this book.

Summary: Corporate propaganda
Review: While there are genuine parts in this book which can be used in our personal lives, the book is totally corporate propaganda.
It is meant for us to be happy to run around aimlessly at the whim of our corporate and government masters who have the rights to alter our lives in anyway they see fit. Also, to remember that if you complain about this, you will negatively influence others, and don't help, care or unite others (unionize), they had their chance.

Summary: WHO MOVED MY CHEESE
Review: It is as exactly as it as it as sounds...Cheesey.... this book is for children... it is unrealistic.... sure if you work for a company that is constantly changing you might relate to the book maybe a little....No, change is not a good thing when it happens on a regular basis. That means upper management can't make up their minds about any processes they are instituting into your work processes. And will be returning the same processes that you were working previous, within the year. Why??? You know why, as the old saying goes.... " if it ain't broke,why fix it ?????
But in all reality, the book , the story is childish,boring ,stupid, and for simple minded people that don't have an opinion or a backbone in their workplace. Need I say anymore ????

Summary: a meaningful story
Review: This story is about two mouse and two men who find cheeses in the big maze and they have different attitudes to find the cheese in the maze. After I read it, I think the story is interesting, easy to understand and meaningful. First, there are not so many difficult words in it and there are a few pages that have been printed on some special sentences, these sentences can attract me to read the story continuously, I like these sentences very much. Second, I think this story is meaningful because it can tell us the right attitude of doing things. If we get fiasco or some terrible things are happened on us, we should not wait someone to help us or blame it, we should go ahead to find out the solution. I think this can encourage people to brace up again and have a meaningful life.

Summary: Even Velveta has it's merits!
Review: ...First off it's a fable and as with any fable it's stripped down to essential and easily memorable elements. ... The basic premise in the book is that change is inevitable and when change comes along it's more effective to accept it and choose a course of action rather than to sit around being bitter feeling victimized, or to be in denial that a change has to occur. This simple little book can be a like a light at the end of a tunnel if you are really stuck and need simple advice to help you find a way to adapt to change.

Summary: Eh...
Review: I was required to read this book for a college course. "Who Moved My Cheese?" does teach some important life lessons about change, but I found the method the book used to get those lessons across (a parable about "little people" making their way through a maze) to be personally unappealing. The book's other saving grace (besides its message) is that it's a quick read - it has almost 100 pages, and the words appear in large type. I wouldn't read "Who Moved My Cheese?" again.

Summary: Not as good as I thought of
Review: It didn't take long for me to read this book .It's just a short story for less than one hundred pages that can entertain people in a short time. Why do so many people love this book? I don't see it really help people very much. Actually it only tells two mice and two little people looking for cheese and running through the maze,it's difficult to tell why this story related to changes we face in reality.
This story disappoints me so much,I wondered how good it can tell me about life or philosophy. It turns out that the persuading power is not too great enough. We can never become Haw. We aren't Sniff and Scurry,human beings have complicated thinkings,we'll never deal with changes without fear. Being frightened and worried is the common and basic behavior when something changed, the differences between people are just the degree of responsiveness. I think the story should better more concentrate on telling methods to deal with fear.
However one thing I concern much about in the story is the relationship between friends. Haw remember his good friend Hem when he is enjoying his tasty cheese and want to share with him. Is this nobly behavior still exist in this world now?I am quite doubt about this question. Maybe we want to but in practice we don't .By now , the society is much developed ,the gap between people become much wider. We are always selfish to maximize our possessions regardless people who are surrounding us. At the same time,we want others care about us. We don't pay and we gain nothing. The cheese -care from other ,seems never exist in people's hearts no more. Who Moved Our Cheese? You ? Me? I'm afraid the answer is all of us!!
