Summary: Fun book!
Review: "Who Moved My Cheese" is a good, little, self-help book. It's a very short book--about 90 pages!Despite its small size, "Who Moved My Cheese?" is masterful at helping people deal with a substantial, psychological roadblock--change. "Who Moved My Cheese?" tells the story of two mice (Sniff and Scurry) and two "little people" (Hem and Haw) trapped in a maze. Cheese is a metaphor for whatever you want in your life. For the mice, it's cheese. For the "little people," it could be success, happiness, or financial security. "Change Happens. They keep moving the Cheese."
"Anticipate Change. Get ready for the cheese to move."
&
"Enjoy Change. Savor the adventure and enjoy the taste of the new cheese!" (Will Haw become another self-help mouse writer?) Hem was hemmed in by his old ideas. We don't know if he ever left Cheese Station C. He may have starved, as the longer he stayed in the cheeseless station, the weaker he would become.
Anyway, learn to think more like a mouse. Don't depend upon the status quo. Realize change happens and circumstances, which may have favored you, change. Yet, you can't control change and are not entitled to things remaining the same. Be ready to move looking for new cheese. "Who Moved My Cheese?" provides inspirational guidance to those suffering job loss, downsizing, divorce, or altered life situations. It's message, to seek out new opportunities, makes the reader, faced with change, want to quit the "It's-not-fair" hand-wringing and seek opportunity. "Who Moved My Cheese?" provides a simple, powerful message to the person confronted with unwelcome change. Peter Hupalo, Author of "Thinking Like An Entrepreneur" & "Becoming An Investor"

Summary: This Cheezy Book
Review: I cannot think of a last time when I've read such a mindless so-called "book" and fumed with such anger! I am not sure what insulted me more: the banality of the story or the "before" and "after" commentary by the author. Since the book is written in a kindergarten English, the author, probably, assumes that his readers are unable to comprehend the simplistic message of the story. If you are looking for a good self-improvement book that teaches you how to positively deal with, accept, and/or affect changes in your life, please pass this one and invest in Brian Tracy's "Maximum Achievement". Otherwise, you can simply ask yourself a million dollar question:" What would I do if I did not feel this fear?" If, on the other hand, you are planning to accept change mindlessly, as the mice does, then shut up, and be prepared to spend your life forever searching for your happiness (cheese) in a maze of someone else's making!

Summary: Good book
Review: I found this book to be a good source of help for an employee of mine who has issues with depression. This book can be used as a good motivational tool by nearly anyone, anytime, anywhere. I also highly recommend "Open Your Mind, Open Your Life: A Book of Wisdom" by Taro Gold.

Summary: Offers practical, intelligible, effective techniques
Review: In Who Moved My Cheese?: An Amazing Way To Deal With Change In Your Work And In Your Life, management expert Spencer Johnson offers practical, intelligible, effective techniques for dealing with inevitable workplace changes -- through the means of a parable of two mice and two mouse-sized humans in a maze. Depending upon one's personality and point of view, workplace change can be a boone or a burden. The central them of Who Moved My Cheese? is that once we perceive change as having value, then acceptance will follow. Who Moved My Cheese? is a parable that takes place in a maze. The point of this quickly and easily read, 94 page parable is that we as members of a workforce have to be alert to changes changes as they affect our jobs, our productivity, even our goals, and to be prepared to generate new ways of doing things when the old ways break down under the duress of marketplace factors, especially those that arrive with very little warning. Who Moved My Cheese? is also available in a paperback edition, audiocassette (abridged & unabridged), large print, and on CD-ROM.

Summary: A Simple Parable with a Strong Message
Review: Who Moved My Cheese is a simple easy to read parable that explains human behavior when change occurs. My experience has that the book has a profound effect on all who read it...even those who hate it. It makes many people who do not accept change very uncomfortable. As such I think most people will either totally hate this book or love it. Even if you hate it, it will get you thinking. First, define your cheese. Is it work? Family? Money? Think, what would you do if that cheese was taken away? How would you react? This book causes you to consider these questions. I found it invaluable. It has given my team an interesting Cheese based vocabulary. Its cheap, easy to read and powerful. What is not to like.

Summary: This is a very simplistic book.
Review: This book reminds me of another worthless best-seller of a few years ago. Remember the Bridges of Madison County? Like BOMC, this book is much more form than substance. It seems to be a book for people who can't be troubled to read real books. Don't waste your time. Read a real business book: Covey's "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" or Fisher and Ury's "Getting to Yes" or a scientifically researched psychology book like Seligman's "Learned Optimism."

Summary: "Two stars because it has a positive message"
Review: For children, or an adult who has lived in a cave his whole life this book is a great primer. The concept is phenomenol, accept change and move on. I found "Oh The Places You'll Go" by Dr. Seuss to be a much more fulfilling book. Again, if you are trying to motivate a child--or possibly a teen, this is a great book, but as an adult, I only found this book mildly entertaining. I'm sure the author took his cheese and laughed his way all the way to the bank.

Summary: A book weak me up!
Review: Who moved my chess, this book is firstly introduced by my professor. I did not read it until many friends discussed in a gathering, then I really have impulsive to read this book. Finally, I borrow this book from my friends, I really find that is a very good story, it makes me think more about why you need to change. After reading this book, you may have confidence to improve yourself. I think the content of the story is well organized. Before the story, is a gathering for some college students, they are sharing about their life after they graduated from school. They are talking about how changes make them confused, how people tackled with these changes and how they reacted for it. This section make audience also think about the changes around them, this may stimulate their thinking since some of them may also have similar experience, so it may make them fell more interested in reading this story. One of the students then introduced this book to other students. And after the story, is the discuss section for these students to share their feeling about this story, the audience may act as a student to join their discussion through the questions asked by the student in the book, this may stimulate audience¡¦s thinking effectively. I think changes in our life are inevitable, whenever in our study, work or even in inter relationship with friends, spouse and other people, changes always happen. I think fate will not always help you to keep your cheese with you. One day your cheese that is the most important thing may lose it may not always be with you, so you need to well equip with yourself in case that one day your cheese is lost, you can find your new cheese. This is really a good book that makes you think and understand yourself. I am now introducing this book to my friends, hoping that they will get what they want from this book!

Summary: DON'T Move My Cheese!
Review: Although it contains a few words of wisdom, I did not like the book. First, it presupposes that all change is good. Second, it presupposes that anyone who does not like change is simply afraid of it. Focusing on these two suppositions, the author fails to really discuss change, but merely encourages individuals to blindly accept all change and denigrates those who do not. Finally, the book is written in a remedial tone, and it does not discuss the subject of change in an intelligent and adult manner. Given these three points, the book is clearly an attempt, by the author and those organizations that use it, to get their employees to blindly accept change or be categorized as someone who will not or cannot change. After growing up as a military brat, I spent twenty-four years in the Army; I've dealt with change all my life. I am certainly not afraid of it, and I resent the implications put forth in the book that I am. Furthermore, not all change is good; much of it is counterproductive and even harmful. No one should ever blindly accept it, but should evaluate both the motive behind it and the necessity and value of it, and then decide whether to support or fight it. Jerry D. Pownall
