Summary: Should be a mandatory read for all managers.
Review: I was fortunate enough to buy this book on an impulse at the Rochester NY airport before getting on a flight. I finished it in about an hour and could not wait to get on the ground to tell the people I work with to get it. It is one of those rare books (business) that you will re-read many times over. Not because you do not understand it, but because YOU DO!

Summary: simply wonderful
Review: Like Dr. Johnson`s other books, WHO MOVED MY CHEESE is a simple allegory which hits the mark. You can`t help but feel a bit silly as you read it and realize how often you`ve dealt with life`s little, and not so little, disappointments in non-productive ways. (At least I couldn`t). My suggestion is you copy "the writing on the wall" of the maze in the book, tape it on your mirror and read it over every morning. Not since Dr. Johnson`s YES OR NO (another great book) have I seen such important guidance expressed so clearly. For a few dollars and less than an hour of your time you`ll be on your way to making the most of every opportunity.

Summary: A great little book with a universal lesson
Review: This book is a quick read (I read it in about 45 minutes on a train ride home from work), but it presents ideas that can apply to many aspects of life. The lesson, to be proactive instead of reactive to change, is presented in a clever and amusing story which is entertaining and appropriate for all ages. But, the deeper meaning of the story launches the reader into reflective thought about their own life. The lesson applies to any type of life situation, from the job to personal relationships. It is one of those tools that helps you put common sense into focus and deal with life situations in a positive way. This would be a great assignment in a management class, with the discussion section of the book leading into a class discussion of how the book's lessons apply to real life situations.

Summary: Stinks worse than limburger
Review: Over the years, many of my bosses have pontificated at length about this book. As I have no respect of any of them, I never read it. Recently, however, I've been working on a business dictionary that satirizes language in the workplace. Based on the people I know who rave about "Who Moved My Cheese," I figured it'd be chock full 'o fodder for my book.As usual, I was right. This book provides a simplified, quick way for managers to try to get their subordinates to do what they want, regardless of how asinine the idea may be. Basically, if you need help adapting to change, go home and swallow your gun. It's too late. While the book is 94 pages, the story itself is only 52 pages. The rest of it is three prefaces and a postscript that's purpose is to get you to buy the book for everyone you know. Don't believe me? Check out the Table of Contents .PDF above. Factor in the 1.5-inch margins, 14-point text, and numerous pictures, and this story could probably fit on an index card. The most significant thing I learned from "Who Moved My Cheese" was that self-help books exist so that the author can help himself to your money (actually, I already knew that; this book just reinforced it). Check out the back page where the author sells related services: Need the cheese calendar? How about a certification in change management (how cheesy)? If you're looking for a good laugh, read it, but save your money and just steal it from your boss's desk.

Summary: Cheese alright. Seems like folks have caught on.
Review: We've used Cheese in workshops at my company and had good luck with it. Though, I think maybe the word is out and folks already know about the message. The last time I bought copies I purchased the recommended title, The Emotional Intelligence Quickbook and we tried that with great success! I also gave one to my husband ;) It's a neat book with a powerful message based on research. It also comes with a free emotional intelligence test online, which is a real bonus.

Summary: I Lost My Cheese
Review: I was given "Who Moved My Cheese" as a corporte gift. It is the type of book that is meant to be read with an open mind. It doesn't offer solutions but gives readers a simple reminder that the workforce is built on continual change. I was recently downsized and lost my 'cheese' because (like the characters in the story I didn't see the "writing on the wall"). The story in this book is very childish but it may help you see corporate change in a new way. Instead, I wish I would have received Rat Race Relaxer: Your Potential & The Maze of Life by JoAnna Carey. Rat Race Relaxer offers practical advice and stories about the rat race. It helped me develop a better understanding of my unique skills so I was prepared to deal with corporate change instead of just reading about how change happens.

Summary: A Modern Day Parable
Review: Some people just don't get "Who Moved My Cheese?" This is prefectly acceptable, because it will not work for everybody. Just like biblical parables, it is often interpreted in different ways. If you have not read it, I suggest that you give it a chance. I first encountered the book in graduate school and enjoyed it a great deal. Only recently, has my cheese been moved. Although prepared for my cheese to be moved, I find myself looking for my new cheese. The theme of the book deals with the adjustments or adaptations we must make in our lives periodically. All facets of life are really based in social darwinism, or survival of the fittest. While you may not like the book, you must agree that adaptation is the key to success and satisfaction in life.
