Summary: Who Moved My Cheese? is a really great book!
Review: I love the main story, but the purpose of THIS book is to make it "for teens". This is done through a conversational beginning and final chapter, with teens talking instead of adults, as in the original. The conversations are irrlelevant to true problems and conversations with teenagers. I'd rather see some type of activities, questions or focal points for young people. Anyone who works with youth knows that you can't talk down to them. Whoever wrote these chapters, be it the regular author or an assistant, is not in tune with how to work with teenagers. The story is still excellent for teens, but needs to be surrounded by better material.

Summary: A very stupid Book
Review: I read who moved my cheese one day and really didn't get anything out of it. I thought that it wasn't a helpful book at all. I also thought that even a kindergardener could read and understand it. I am a very avid reader and was very dissapointed with this book.

Summary: Who Moved My Cheese?
Review: One of my most vivid memories of junior high is of a banner-length sign over the chalkboard of the room where I had English. It read: "Nothing is as constant as change." Like someone in junior high needed to be told that. The problem was: No one ever told us how to deal with change. Were we supposed to fight it? Accept that we couldn't do anything about it? If you can get past the incredibly, um, cheesy premise of the latest incarnation of the popular yet controversial WHO MOVED MY CHEESE books, there might be a few answers in store for you. Maybe.
The book uses a metaphor of mice, cheese and a maze to try to help its readers realize that life's changes are inevitable and, in order to get what we desire most (the cheese), we have to be unafraid to change and make choices that will get us closer to the "cheese." Unfortunately, the book wavers between making the metaphor too hazy and beating the reader over the head with it. The opening conversation between the human characters is contrived and unrealistic, a deterrent to reading the story itself. The human characters act, at the end of the story, as though they've been through some life-altering experience. Even though the message is important, the reader can't help but laugh at the "Full House" styled ending. If you're looking to learn a little about life and how to make yours into what you want, I'd recommend the much more readable THE SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE TEENS by Sean Covey.

Summary: Same book as the original with different last chapter.
Review: The only difference between this book and the original is the last chapter, which deals with problems teens face, e.g., parental divorce, not making it onto a sports team, applying for college, etc. I reviewed the first book as follows:"Who Moved My Cheese?" is a simple parable that illustrates the natural tendency to resist change. The uncertainty that generally accompanies change provides a level of discomfort that some try to escape. Rather than take the necessary steps for change, some people cling to old notions and actions that produce little or no results. Of course, it has been known for decades that people tend to avoid tasks that cause physical, mental, or emotional discomfort. Why it takes a simple little story about mice and cheese for some people to understand this is beyond me. Perhaps it provides a non-threatening, feel-good reminder of what we already know about ourselves? The problem I see with "Who Moved My Cheese?" is not the message, but the difficulty in reducing such a simple little concept into practice. Knowing that we need to "search around the maze for new cheese" is equivalent to the stock market wizards telling us to buy low and sell high, or business experts telling us that we need to possess organizational savvy to be successful. These are things we all nod our heads in agreement with . . . but then what? We are left without any guidelines for determining when we are "moving around the maze" or simply "sitting at the cheese station." Reading "Who Moved My Cheese?" is like signing up for the membership at the health club. It sure feels good, and it can be the start to something better, but the real work is yet to come. Read the book. Ponder its contents. But expect some discomfort if you really want to make progress.

Summary: A good, pratical book for teens.
Review: This was a good, pratical book for teens. It deals with the subject of change and how to adapt to it. This book has helped both adults with marrige problems and teenagers with breakups. It has been called "simple" or "pointless" when really it is not. Just because the advice is not spelled-out does not make it useless. In fact, thats what makes it so great-anyone can apply the exelent advice to their current problem or situation. No teen wants to sit down with a heavy book aboout "goal-banks" "paradigms" such as THE SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE TEENS. Having been forced to read the thing myself when I was a teen, I must say I found the whole thing rather unenjoyable and tedious. If I had been handed this helpful book with enojoyable characters, and real-life situations and discustions, well, lets just say it would save me a lot of trouble and tears.

Summary: Who Moved My Cheese?
Review: Who Moved My Cheese?
By: Anthony Calabrese I read the book Who Moved My Cheese? The book is by Spencer Johnson. The story takes place a long time ago in a cheese maze. The story is about 2 little tiny people and 2 mice. The two people get their cheese stolen. One thinks if he yells its not fair that it will just come back on its own. The other one is right because he thinks if goes and explores, he will find new cheese. It turns out the cheese wasn't stolen but it ran out because they took advantage of their amount. Their plot is that they want to find their cheese so they wont starve. The theme in this story is no matter how much you moan, that the thing that went missing wont just turn up. You have to go and find more. Life Goes On!
