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: 5 stars
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: 5 stars
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: 1 stars
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: 4 stars
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: 5 stars
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: 5 stars
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.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Loved It
Review: I highly recommend this book. It reminds you that your attitude and the way you act really do make a difference!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Maximizing on Change
Review: ...For me, Ifound that this book useful to me as I'm implementing a new ERP at my place of business. I think it will be very useful way of explaining to our end users why we have to change from our Legacy system to our new ERP. It will also give us a common point of reference when refering to change in the future.

For anyone thinking of buying this book I would say do it and share the book and its lessons with others.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Please Pass the Cheese
Review: Who Moved My Cheese is a cute little work that contains a dehumanizing subtext, and its not just that Scratch n' Sniff or Scurry or whoever are mice. It's that the behavior touted for the mice is total passive acceptance of a maze (workplace, community, whatever)devoid of any accountability. The perfect little mouse simply dons his or her track shoes and disappears in the face of problems. Hey, who did move the cheese? Should it have been moved? What about awkward complications like hard work and value conflict and loyalty and pension obligations and digging for creative solutions where you are and continuity and community good. No problem. Anyone responsible for the cheese is freed of all obligation by cheerful little mice who just scurry off. (And hey, did someone we know starve; tough luck-we've got ours.) This is a dangerous, hasty little piece. The production values are even off. My edition contains a blatant, ironic typo. If you are going to pay this much for a handfull pages in really big type, you should at least get a spell check.
