Summary: Who moved my cheese
Review: I thought the book was excellent. Very simple reading but the meaning behind the simple story was deep. I think those who were offended or found it too simple are those very people who do not like to conform to change...i.e., stopping to realize that this book is designed to make one think not to analyze how well written the book was or that the story line was like a fairytale.

Summary: Dumbing Down
Review: Intrigued by the title, I picked up this book at a friend's house and settled down for a short, but inspirational read. It wasn't long before I found myself skimming through the exploits of Hem and Haw. I'm all in favor of a simple approach, in fact I think a simple, straightforward approach has largely been lost in our sea of over-information. But self-help drivel does not a simple take make. This author does not receive more cheese in his bank account; we need to move to better cheese--and better analogies--that warrant our attention and fire our imagination.

Summary: Would have made a nice greeting card
Review: Imagine a Hallmark card made into a book. What could have been said in a paragraph was made into a supposed "must read" business book.Yes, it is a point well taken, but I would not insult the employees I work with by asking them to read this book.

Summary: Who Moved My Cheese?
Review: The managers at my place of employment left this book out for the employees to read. I found this book to be overly simplistic and downright insulting! Fairytales about mice in jogging suits might be fine for five-year olds, but I consider myself to be an adult and a professional. One's money might be better spent having lunch with one's co-workers and discussing ways to work together better and become happier and more productive.

Summary: WHO MOVED MY CHEESE?
Review: After reading Who Moved my Cheese? I attempted to find something that I could disagree with, but could find nothing. From a nursing superisor perspective, I can see those who are stuck, and reluctant to change they are unhappy and make everyone around them unhappy. There is only one issue that I wished was addressed, how do you inspire others to move with the cheese, or is this perhaps another story? I found this book interesting as well as entertaining, although a little cute. I think it could be inspiring to those who are stuck in the proverbial rut. I would recommend it to anyone who is contemplating change or is in need of a change.

Summary: it was ok...
Review: It was a short, little book, with a semi-boring story and someboring commentary at the end. OK story, but it's just a plain, little, simple one, that a 3-year-old could've written. Then again, it does force you to think about the way in which you deal with change.

Summary: Who Moved My Twenty Bucks?
Review: "Who Moved My Cheese?" has the depth of a high school pep rally. It does nothing more than present the obvious in an oversimplistic parable which fails to address the deeper social and psychological problems created when change occurs outside the control of those most affected. The suggestion that once the cheese is moved all one need do is follow the trail to a new and better supply is and insult to the thousands of people whose lives have been turned upside down by uncaring corporations which make their changes based solely on the overriding principle of enhanced profits. This book would be better titled "Who Moved My Twenty Bucks?" as it is a waste of money.

Summary: Simplicity: A defense
Review: You will read two types of reviews of this book. One: The book is a quick, excellent read which teaches some very good truths. Two: The book oversimplifies complex concepts and those concepts introduced in the book are common sense anyway. I fall into those in the former category. Often times we try to overcomplicate things because it makes us feel important in someway. True, it may seem simplicity has some inherent flaw in it but in actuality simplicity can teach us everything. Think about those institutions that we have complicated through needless verbiage and procedure. I can think of two off the top of my head government and law. Both are dominated by attorneys and remain out of touch for the common layperson. I would submit that those things that are simplified are inherently easier to understand and better because of it as with this book. To those that have said that they would be seeking employment elsewhere if given this book by a boss or thought this was a tool to justify downsizing, I say that I didn't even think of construing the story in that manner. I don't believe "Hem" and "Haw" were lazy workers and the book a vehicle for job elimination, in fact I thought the book was a good lesson on industries. Think about this for a moment, what industries are sitting around now like Hem waiting for the cheese to come back or smelling old and rotten cheese and not looking for new cheese. I can give you three of these industries right off the top of my head: the steel, music, and film industries. All these industries suffer from "Hemminism" because they are not looking for new ways of doing business but gravitating to old business model, which this book is actually trying to get you to realize. My advice to those thinking about reading this book, yes it does in some cases seem like common sense. Yes, if you're a driver of change it may not help you that much. However, I'm sure that there isn't an aspect of your life that this book couldn't help you in some way. Besides the book is inexpensive and will take you at most an hour to read. What else are you going to do tonight, sit on the couch and watch "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" This book has some valuable lessons hidden inside it whether approaching change from a perspective as an influencer or the influenced and is well worth a read.

Summary: Who Moved My Cheese?
Review: Who Moved My Cheese is a delightful allegory that will have long-lasting affects in both your business and personal life. The book is a quick read--about 45 minutes and is appropriate for all reading levels. The book has a well-written preface and three sections; the allegory is in the second section. Although you will benefit by reading just "the story part," I encourage you to read every page of this book, for it is the first and third section that frame the story and make it memorable. I also encourage you to read this book with someone else. Discussions identifying which character represents you and others in your companay and life are where the gold lies. Whether you incorporate this in your company training, or use this in your personal life, this is a delightfully thoughtful book that will be great as resource.

Summary: "Why didn't I do this before?" Haw Asked....
Review: I've listen to the cassette for the first time with my brother. Both us acknowledge we were in Cheese Station #3. Acknowledgement is the first step of releasing oneself from fear. This is a wonderful book. I'm sure the story will stay with me for a life time. I'm excited about moving on and finding my 'New Cheese'!
