Summary: Simple but Oh So True
Review: I have the rules written and stuck to my cork board at work. The book seems too simple at times, but it is true. My favorite is "The quicker you let go of Old Cheese, the Sooner you find new cheese."

In these times of constant changes around us, it seems safe and comforting to hold on to our beliefs and practices. But this is exactly why we need to move and change. Otherwise, we'll be either in a)shock or b)denial when change hits us. Being prepared for and looking forward to change makes the ride all the more fun.

Get the book!

Summary: I think most of you missed the point!
Review: This book is meant to be simple and is written in a way that mimics a children's story ON PURPOSE, it's not a failed attempt at presenting a 400page intellectual study on change. Sure there are numerous other "change" books out there that make the reviewer a few reviews below mine feel like a "real grownup", but people need to learn to have a little self-assuredness enough to be able to read and GRASP a book that is presented in a manner that's a little different than the norm. This book actually was memorable, and that's the important part. How many of you do everything you know? "Who moved my cheese" is just a great reminder of not so much physically making a tangible change, but something that happens (or doesn't happen) in our minds and spirits that allows us to examine our options (not blindly like another person had mentioned) and make the decision to move forward instead of limiting ourselves to one little corner of the maze. Many of us tend to forget how much power we have in our lives.

Summary: A Book About Changes.......
Review: This book brings about chnages, not only in your spiritual life, but goes beyond the outer realms of one's communication towards family, friends, co-workers, bosses, and even in church. This book brings to life the role you will play in helping others to see that CHANGE IS A GOOD THING.

Having changes done in your life causes you to see your actions and reactions differently.

Summary: For All The People Of The World
Review: gWho Moved My Cheese?h is a simple fairy tale. This story is about two mice and two little people who lost their cheese and who try to find new cheese. However, there is a lot of thought, hope, and pain from each character. The main theme of this story is how we can adjust to the changing of life. And when we can overcome it, we can enjoy changing. Two little people, Hem and Haw, and two mice, Sniffy and Scurry, had a lot of cheese in Cheese Station C. But one day, all of the cheese was disappeared. Then, two mice go into the maze but two little people hesitate to go into the maze because it is very complex and fearful for them. Cheese is the most important thing for them and the maze is a major problem in their lives.
Hem and Haw tried to find cheese in Cheese Station C, but they couldnft. Hem noticed that he was foolish. He was afraid of changing his life to go into the maze, but if he doesnft try to oppose to problem, he canft find the cheese. The turning point of this story is when Hem decided that go in to the maze to find new cheese. After that he has big conflict. The interior of the maze was unknown world for him. Can Hem find new cheese? Now I thought about what is gcheeseh for me? And if I lost it, what would I do? In my opinion, gWho Moved My Cheeseh is easy and simple but it has very deep theme. This book is very good for all the people of the world.

Summary: Good for those who follow
Review: Now that I've used both the audio and book I can honestly say that this system is good for those willing to listen. You can only go so far with staffing that refuses to listen and participate.

You learn how to handle daily change mirrored with new tasks at hand. The cartoons expressed are whimsical yet not too childish.

Good if you have willing participants!

Summary: A great book for Life Success
Review: Who moved my cheese is a GREAT book. It should be required reading for anyone living and working in the twenty-first century. It's a fable with a valuable message, like the stories we grew up with as kids. It is simple to understand, short and easy to read and it drives the point home. I recommend it highly to all my audiences when speaking on the topic of making lifestyle changes. I also suggest that if you embrace and want to make changes in your life, "Who Moved my Cheese" is the precursor to reading "Jump Start Your Life" a book outlining a process by which to change your lifestyle. I thank Spencer Johnson and Ken Blanchard for this wonderful gem.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A basic, good reminder of the obvious.
Review: I successfully avoided reading this for about a year now. I must have finally read it at the right time because I actually enjoyed it. It should be noted that I also enjoyed and learned a great deal (it was a good start, at least) from the "One-Minute Manager" years ago as a new manager.

The work itself is built with discussion bookends and the parable sandwiched in between. If you read it, you may agree with me that the discussion period bookends are a complete waste of time but I found the parable quite encouraging in my current work situation. It's a message I had forgotten because I tend to get myopic in a difficult work environment.

The writing style is directed at a very young age and the simple message will surely be easy to understand by anyone. Though obvious, it's an easy message to ignore or forget until you're surprised. Change in your work situation can be a good and growth-inducing agent. Anticipate it, don't fear it, and use it to your advantage.

Actual reading time is probably less than 30 minutes. The guy below who read it at the bookstore, spent the same amount of time, enjoyed it as much as I did and surely paid less.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Short and Sweet
Review: I read the book in one hour. My business is very easy if one follows the helpful advice. Unfortunately, I tried everything but what really works. There is no reason to chase a method of selling that is my own,when it is clear there is a easy way. That is the lesson I learned from this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very simple, but it works....
Review: Thats just it... this book is extremely simple. I've seen other reviews that say it is for the mindless, etc. Well, with the busyness of life and the professional world, a lot of people forget how to think simple and plain. That is where this book may help. It doesn't contain any ground breaking ideas, but it does hand them out to the reader in such a simple way that you have to laugh at it. With that said, I can honestly see how many people are affected by the book... it gets them out of the "business" mindset and takes them back to the ground level long enough to make it count.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You cannot miss this book
Review: You cannot miss this book, or else you would regret for not reading it. Although this book does not contain many pages, it contains useful insights on how you could face and manage crisis and difficulties. The author does not explicitly and clearly state what you should do when facing crisis, so you need to think about the insights behind by yourself by first identifying which character in the book you belong to. Then think about who are your competitors, who are your potential competitors who are preparing and trying to steal your cheese, and think of how you can react on their actions and how you can equip yourself.

Reading this book only needs about 30 minutes, but you can gain insights for your whole life, quickly read this book and recommend to your friends.

Point to note: remember to read the preface before you start to read, you will find you understand more on the background of the story and would be more interesting.
