Summary: Know When to Change
Review: It seems to me that this book conveys a deeper message than just "blindly accepting change". From watching the characters it appears to stress the importance of knowing when it's time to do something different. The moral I received from this story is as follows: Be ready to change if you need to, but it does not do any good for you to be willing to change if you do not know when the time is right for change.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Anxiety - a driving force in Life
Review: This book may have a strange title, but cheese is a real good metaphor.

It is simply the best book about a subject which is rarely addressed to a larger audience. The subject is anxiety! It deals about our fears about any topic in life.

As good as it gets!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A fun way of looking at things!
Review: "Who Moved My Cheese" is a great book. It took me on a journey with 2 mice & 2 little men through the maze of life. I got sucked into the story and didn't realize until the end what lessons were being put forward. It was through a little man's journey that he realizes how he was living in the past and how through living in the present he was much more productive and more satisfied with the outcome. That is great because there are moments where I think about how I can do a task or project and if I just started doing it instead of worrying about doing it I would get a lot more things done in my life. Also, something that really stuck out for me was to have fun. Why go through life sulking around and having no fun. Heck...Life is short. I definitely recommend this book.

Another book I recommend is "Working on Yourself Doesn't Work" by Ariel & Shya Kane. In the first part of the book the authors suggest reading it as if it was a fantasy novel. Have fun with it! This book is about living moment to moment and having a fantastic life!

Summary: Watch for the Axe if you're handed this book
Review: If your company hires a consultant who comes in touting this book and spouting teamwork pap when your teamwork would already make the Superbowl winning team look like 5th graders in the schoolyard send out your resume–FAST.

The only thing that can be gotten from this book is one message: "Go find new cheese because we ate all the cheese here through mismanagement."

It was a best seller because Enron gave all its employees a copy for last years bonus.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Deceptively Simple... Beautifully concise
Review: Small, imaginative, comprehensive and fantastic. Who Moved My Cheese is an innovative and challenging look at how we deal with change. Why we deal with it this way as well as very useful (and simple) guidelines and suggestions for learning how to deal with change in a better, more productive manner.

This book is great for managers, leaders, training professionals, HR people, and anyone who just wants to deal with change in a better more efficient manner.

Sometimes, the solutions to life's most complicated problems are quite simple, instead of complicating them further, Who Moved My Cheese will simplify it in such a way that by the time you finish the book, you will feel that you can change ANYTHING!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: So Who Did Move the Cheese?
Review: The effectiveness and relevance of this moronic pamphlet can be analyzed merely by critiquing the complexity (or lack thereof) of its metaphor, without even bothering to address its insulting message. To wit: Where did the maze come from? Does it have an exit? What are the two mice and the two mouse-sized people doing there? Never mind where the cheese IS, where does it BELONG? And finally, who, after all, DID move the cheese? This book never actually answers its own title.

The idea that a work of this nature is being lauded and employed by executives of Fortune 100 companies is frankly horrifying. As other reviewers here have noted, resistance to change is equated with inflexibility, fear and closed-mindedness. Apparently in the modern world of business there is no room for individual opinion, thoughtful consideration, or healthy skepticism.

If you read this book prepare to have your intelligence insulted, your motives questioned and your faith in the good sense of your betters dashed. And if you take its message to heart, then god help you.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't waste your time!
Review: I'll never understand the popularity of this book. I found it to be simplistic, not offering anything I didn't already know. I wish there was an option to give it 0 stars. It didn't deserve one. My copy, given to me [...] went into the trash. It's the first book I have ever thrown away. I always donate books to book fairs. I didn't want anyone else subjected to this book!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Good book for children.
Review: Who Moved the Cheese? was a disappoint, too simplistic and too expensive. The book's insert card (listing 7 points) said it all. I saved the card and passed the book along. There are many changes that one cannot savor.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simple Allegory, Simple Message
Review: If you can't figure this out for yourself, you need this book. It's a real simple message, cleverly presented. But, I know, sometimes we all cannot see the forest for the trees. You can't lose by reading this book. I also recommend the book "West Point" by Norman Thomas Remick for more complete information on character and leadership.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: No Change, No Gain
Review: From Department of Marketing, City University of Hong Kong.
Now the world is changing but many people don't like to make any change. This book tells a story about the result of changing and NOT changing.
The story is not difficult. Only four characters with their own personalities appear. It shows the tradegy of one character who insisted on staying instead of changing. If you don't make any change, you can't get anything you want (cheese). On the other hand, another character knew that he should make a change or otherwise he would get nothing with him.
This story will make you think more about how to adapt to change and what the result is for not changing.
