Summary: Shallow and simplistic
Review: A big disappointment! The author tried to use a metaphor to explain how to deal with change in life but I didn't see any explanations in this book, just a shallow story. The message he tried to convey could have been written like this : 'Accept change or else', no need to read the book to understand that. I don't understand all the hype around this book, I certainly don't recommand it to anyone!

Summary: "Right" size the Little People
Review: If condescension were a worthwhile management strategy, this awful book might well be a classic. It is a stilted and silly work which will unfortunately come to define the early 21st century as "The Age Of Moronic Managers." In a few years, this book will be an object of considerable ridicule.
If one peruses the favorable reviews of this Orwellian "Fairytale Speak," you will find that its diminutive size and easy to follow prose are its only redeeming quality. The path to Hell is paved similarly.
Here is reality: The only reason businesses exist are to provide cheeese to as many little people as can be sustained.
The Enron debacle and its managers who felt distance and entitlement from the masses of their own "little people" (and Californians) should provide a cautionary tale for taking this weird fable to heart. The fact is, stability is what really governs a workplace--knowing that your part of the picture is important and that the company cares enough to let you know where it is moving its resources is paramount. If workers are distant little people bound for disappointing and seismic changes, why should they be loyal to the maze and its omnipotent keepers? Here is a one sentence essay for those intoxicated with business tomes: The profits of industry are only valuable in as much as we all benefit in some small way from them--quality products, lives, and a stable taxpaying workforce.

Summary: Follow The Cheese
Review: This book was very helpful. Not only did it get me to thinking, it also made me realize that i take myself,my job and life way too seriously. After reading it for myself I sat my family down and read it to them. Then we talked about it! What a great couple of hours. I think everyone should read this book and take it's simple message to heart. All of you that trash this book, need to lighten up and not take yourself, or life so seriously! Go find your CHEESE!!!!!

Summary: a good personal guide
Review: This book has given a personal guide to many people, especially in this fast changing world. Nothing will be consistent. Today is the world of digital, tomorrow may be another world that you never think of. Being keep up with the environment is an important issue. However, most people do not believe that, they always do the things in the same way, one to all rules. ¡§Who move my cheese?¡¨ has given me a strong insight to rethink about our usual practice. The mice and the two men in the story have reflected the personality of most people and it may bring a significant change to you. Like the character in the story, the shorter man- ham doesn¡¦t believe that the cheese has been eaten and he had to find another new place. Then, finally he was dead by his stubborn action. And this is the fact of the reality. People really need to be more flexible and understand their environment. Otherwise, they may have the fate just like ham. It is really a worth reading book.

Summary: Yes, Change is Scary and Difficult at Times.......But
Review: Change. It's a part of our lives. Sometimes we welcome it, and sometimes it is shoved down our throats. I have always resented change that was forced on me, but after reading this book, I began to look at it in a different way. "Cheese" is a simple story, and the principles almost seem too simple to implement in a complex world, but after reading this book, I believe you will be empowered and inspired to regain the order in your life the next time someone "moves your cheese."

Summary: Enough cheese for everybody
Review: Who moved the cheese is a little book of only 94 pages of easy reading that should be in every home,business,and etc...
Its written for all ages, the story takes less than an hour to read, but its unique insights can last for a lifetime. Who moved the cheese? is a story about change. cheese being a metaphor for what we want to have in life. as I write this review I was amaze of all the 827 reviews written, some excellent,good,bad,and sad. but, the point is that people read the book and took time out of their busy schedule to write a customer review. That alone should be the very reason that everyone should buy this book. I have read many top sellers with over 300 pages but with very little customers reviews. I wonder why? could it be that very few people finish them? yet, with who moved the cheese everyone got something to say. I wonder why? because its small and easy to read!!! while I was browsing in the book store my wife(lovely)came across the book(who moved the cheese) and started reading it and was going to buy it until I told her we already had it. She looked at me with wandering eyes, as if, I had been holding out on her. Like I said before, its a book for everyone including your spouse,friend,co-workers. So, crawl,run,leap and buy this one. "A CLASSIC IN THE MAKING"

Summary: The power of Cheese!
Review: The beauty of this quick read is just that, it only takes an hour to read. Why is this good? Because in one hour this book brings you back to some simple and helpful truths that many professionals seem to have forgotten. The sad thing is, many reviewers here missed the entire message of the book. Just because it doesn't have 1000 pages and doesn't include a warning about operating heavy machinery and driving, doesn't make it useless. Whether you buy it or borrow it from a friend, read it. It may be simple and short, but the message is true and universal!

Summary: Enjoyed the very short book
Review: I bought the book because I was curious to see what all the hype was about, though I didn't expect much from the book. I enjoyed the story more than I thought I would and even found it a little motivating.
3 stars for a really short,..., but enjoyable simple story. My advice is to know what you are getting into before you buy the book...

Summary: Pleeeeeze
Review: While learning about ways to change your viewpoints and search for new ways of experiencing life and reaching goals is a good thing, learning these principals by reading about fictitious humans and mice looking for food in a maze was not my cup of cheese. I'll stick to grown-up books, thank you.

Summary: Good but ......
Review: This book is about how we face changes. It is different from the traditional management books. It does not use a large amount of theories but uses a simple story and metaphor to illustrate a concept, which make the abstract more concrete and make the audience easier to understand. Some people may think that the concept carried out by the author is so simple that most of us have heard or even experienced before. Maybe the concept is really simple, almost all of us will forget or ignore it. However, it is valuable for us. Sometimes we may not realize that very often we stick to the current condition or the past. With the story closely related to us, this book awakes me. It reminds me that I should be aware of my "cheese". I have to make changes. In the changing environment, we should be sensitive to the changes and be ready to face these changes. Many opportunities are waiting for us. We should change and seize on every opportunity. This book really has influence on me psychologically. But how to change? It is still a question.
