Summary: A despicable insult!
Review: As part of a severence package - the esteemed VP's of my company included this book - needless to say most of the copies ended up in the trash. While the members of senior management floated away in their golden parachutes - the masses were left to ponder the movement of their cheese. My colleagues first response was to publish a response "The Cheese Stinks." Obviously the author of this slap in the face has no clue about the reality of pink slips, downsizing and layoffs. Furthermore, executives should think twice before giving this scrap paper as a sendoff gift.

Summary: Concise and practical
Review: An interesting and concise book, to instil a healthy mindset for change and management of expectations. The analogy is memorable. I strongly recommend an equally inspiring life-enhancing book, namely Emerson Lee's Time Honored wisdoms on Wealth creation......

Summary: Insulting to My Intelligence
Review: This book was a waste of my time and an insult to the intelligence of anyone over 8 years old, or 69 IQ points. Fortunately, it only wasted 30 minutes of my time, as it is so short it should rightfully be called a tract. A warning to employers: This book will not endear you to your staff! If you liken your employees to mice, they will return the favor, and liken you to a rat.

Summary: Who is Making All the Bread
Review: ... It is written on a first grade level. I feel if the reasons for change are logically presented and employees have some input into the ways changes are made most people will adapt very well. Change for change's sake is not always good.

Summary: This book is LIFE itself
Review: First of I all I'd really like not to criticize a few people who didn't like the book but to beg them to re-read it again as they must have missunderstood it or misread it completely - it will be worth it because to enjoy or understand a book we must be lucky enough to chose them in the right times. Every avid reader
would absolutely agree with this.
Anyways...
The very real thrust of this book is HOW TO COPE WITH A CHANGE in a most pleasant and most normal way so it is not a book about cheese.
Both writers are professionals when it comes to LIFE COACHING, they excel on it as they have detailed eyes for "invisible" forgotten facts that people tend to not see them - unfortunetaly-most of the times.
The book is so smartly created thanks to 4 characters whose names didn't happen by coincidence I think - 2 of which are mice and their names are Sniff and Scurry and two humans, Hem and Haw.
They all are in search of "Cheese"...but they're not all of the same "character" just as we aren't in the real life when it comes to look for the "CHEESE".
What happens?!? READ IT and I promise you'll end up treating this book as a TREASURE or a RARE JEWEL you'd like to give and share with everybody.
In the end, I think the best way to describe this book is if I said that THIS BOOK IS A MAP, A SIMPLE ONE, THAT'LL SHOW YOU THE QUICKEST AND SHORTEST WAY (no traffic lights in between) TO FINDING THE "CHEESE" YOU HAVE ALWAYS WANTED. And now..I'll let you Enjoy your magnificent trip to your Dreams...oops I meant to "YOUR CHEESE".

Summary: You Must Want To Change...
Review: It's that simple. This is a simple how-do-I change and how do I practively deal with change and the opportunities change provides. Read it. The writing is on the wall. We all have the opportunity to change. Who Moved My Cheese is about changing and finding new cheese. Your cheese is as only as big as the sky's limit.

Summary: The Authors Moved My Cheese !!
Review: A pretty simple concept written in a fictitious form talking about "Changes".... Don't fall into the trap with the name of the book, if you like cheese.I wonder why a book with such a simple concept, like this one, can turn into such a huge success (this pure means the number of copies sold and the money earned over the last few years). I even bought some 40+ copies for my staff and counterparts even before I finish reading it as a good friend advised me so. I swear I won't do this again without myself reading the book first. I definitely know now it's Spencer Johnson and Ken Blachard, the two authors, who moved by cheese BIG TIME !! I actually gave them a big loaf of my cheese. Do you want them to taste your cheese? It's your choice !!

Summary: Read it TWICE
Review: Most people think they *like* change because they can't eat the same thing everyday for lunch or get tired of the same clothes. The fact is, none of us likes to change something we like, or a situation we have got accustomed to. Why is it so hard to wake up an hour early? Not because we're not getting enough sleep. But because we're afraid of CHANGE. Why is it hard to work out instead of watch TV, despite the obvious health benefits? Because CHANGE makes us uncomfortable. Why is it hard to accept a promotion that involves moving to a different town or country? Why we do tend to accept Presidents who are wholly incompetent? Because we are afraid of change. By accepting change, and by knowing the difference between FEAR and CAUTION we can change the results we're getting out of our lives and careers. WHY DID THE AUTHOR MAKE THE BOOK SO EASY...EVEN SIMPLISTIC? To make change easy to accept and internalize, that's why. If you don't like the price share a friend's copy or borrow it from a library. But read it...TWICE!

Summary: A Maze of Confusion
Review: A very simple approach to change management. This short read as a reminder to everyone who is employed of the effects of the chaos created by the ups and downs of business. Many employees and employers are confused by the rapid changes and fluctuations of business. This story offers an entertaining view of how people fall into different categories of dealing with situations that they cannot control. The book may open the eyes of those who deny the effects of change. But, it doesn't show much consideration to the economic factors that often contribute to employee/employer decisions. The confusion certainly comes through in the characters who seem to be frantically scrambling throughout the 90-some pages. I would have liked more information about how to cultivate the strengths and avoid the traps of each of the four personality: Hem, Haw, Sniff and Scurry. If you are interested in a lighthearted look at the challenges of growth for businesses and employees, then Who Moved My Cheese is a popular choice. Check out Rat Race Relaxer: Your Potential & The Maze of Life a book of 52 simple, actionable steps to deal with the changes described in Who Moved My Cheese?

Summary: book's theme:"?Having Trouble Dealing With Change?"
Review: 2/12/03 The book is a very quick & mostly funny read....the better part of the three part book:I.Intro;II.Saga of mice(Sniff & Scurry) &the littlepeople Haw and Hem; and III.discussion by those who interpreted the actions of each and how it reflected in themselves and others to whom they were related to in one way or another) were the Intro and the Saga (and the ***Illustrations(graphics)***..Haw's little graphics of slices of cheese and words that make you say Hmmm..(the handwritings on the wall on various pages)e.g.(Pg 58-Haw 's enthusiastic "Imagine myself enjoying new cheese even before I find it leads me to it".As far as the conclusions drawn by the Discussion Group(part III) many would differ with their conclusions..maybe the piles of cheeses mentioned in the book should have included more "Sharp Cheese".
