Summary: Tool of the Man
Review: I was asked by my boss to read this book. As a critical reader, I think the following questions need to be asked: 1.Who put those poor miniature people and mice dressed in tiny jogging suits in the maze? 2.If there's plenty of food for the finding, why are the tiny creatures forced to scurry around on an empty stomach? 3.Does my boss really think I'll appreciate trying to relate to what are essentially highly evolved lab rats compelled into some sick game of hide-and-seek-for-the-source-of-all-that-is-good, forced to endure periods of security and intense stress for no apparent reason? I know stress and change are natural parts of life, but this book is insulting. A book clearly designed for the little people who have to deal with the aftermath of major desicions, and not the people who make those desicions. If you are asked to read this book by one of your higher ups, tell them you don't care about some goofy tale that will help you be happy about the opprotunity to learn a new variation of the goosestep. Just ask for your new job title or for the details about the re-org or if your company just got acquired...reading this book was the worst way I could spend 20 minutes of my time.

Summary: Simple works best
Review: This is a great book to remind you why you need to be adaptable to change. The book can be read in under an hour because of it's simplicity and simplicity is what makes it great. Most of the big changes in our life boil down to a simple solution...accept change and succeed or fight change and die. So why do we always try to make change so hard? Who Moved My Cheese? is a reminder that life is simple but always in motion and we must learn to move with it to survive and excel.

Summary: Not worth the money
Review: As others have said, the main story could have been printed in a magazine. What the book neglects to mention, is that change is not always for the better. I've seen more things screwed up in life by "attempting" change than by just leaving this alone. If it aint broken don't fix it. If the person has "his cheese" taken away, sure its time to move on and look for "new cheese" But from a business prespective, how many times have you seen new management come in and screw things up. Ie. Fox taking over the Dodgers and running it into the ground. Let fate make the changes. I'll just react to them

Summary: Who Moved My Cheese.....
Review: Who Moved My Cheese is a wonderful illustration on how people (and mice) react to change and the consequences of their reactions. I have used this as a basis for training "Change in the Workplace" workshops. It's a simple and creative way to get the point across. I highly recommend it!

Summary: Inspirational!
Review: This book was truly inspirational. I loved it from start to finish. I would put this book in the same class as The Monk and the Riddle by Randy Komisar, a book which thoroughly entertained and inspired me at the same time.

Summary: An Excellent Self Help Book
Review: This book is an amusing adaptation of comparing "cheese" to "change", in our daily lives. The 4 mice are not all blind, as 2 of them scurry along quickly in search of new cheese, when their familiar supply is no longer available to them. However, the other 2 mice Haw & Hem, are reluctant to do the same, and as you follow this story through, you can envision oneself in changing situations, that will inevitably surface in our lives both personally and professionally. How we adapt, depends on our willingness to seek out new horizons, that will ultimately bring about happpiness, and set aside our doubts & fears. I enjoyed this book thoroughly. It will help me in my life for sure! Thanks!

Summary: Lacks real value
Review: Cute story, but written at grade school level. Nothing valuable here, anyone with common sense knows the lesson given here. Save your money.

Summary: Ultra-Simplistic Basics at a High Price
Review: This book can easily be read in 20 minutes while say, browsing in your favorite bookstore. Then you can save your money to buy a real book. The "story" is crude, uninteresting and poorly told. It's written to illustrate the points the author wants to make about embracing change. It's hard to believe that people will shell out alot of money to read what should be a chapter in a book or could stand alone as a magazine article. Overall, it did serve as a very quick and very very basic reminder about anticipating change in life, but don't waste your money buying it, just read it in a bookstore and buy something else you want.

Summary: Good information at the core of a long tiresome metaphor
Review: "Who Moved My Cheese?" is a fairy tale that contains useful insights into change. The author, however, takes a cute metaphor (mice and littlepeople in a maze representing different types of folks in life situations) and drags on and on. What should have been a perfectly adequate 10 to 20 page story has been teased into 90 pages with 10 or 20 pages of real content. However, I recommend it regardless.
