Rating: Summary: A practical, commonsense reminder Review: This book is excellent because it not only provides simple, commonsense guidelines for dealing with change, but it encourages readers to view life's ups and downs with a practical sense of humor. It is very easy for adults to take themselves and circumstances so seriously that they miss a lot of the joy of living. Maybe the people who didn't like the book might feel a differently if they would just lighten up a little!
Rating: Summary: Who Moved My Cheese? Review: Who Moved My Cheese touches the very core of every human being, no matter what their age is, because it deals with making decisions. Written in a very simplistic way, Who Moved My Cheese is easily understood and enjoyed by children of reading age, young adults struggling through their teenage years, older adults on the verge of retirement and frantic about what to do with the rest of their lives, and all the ages in between. Making decisions is a scary process because you don't know ahead of time what the outcome will be, so everytime you make a decision, it's a roll of the dice. For some people, it's just too difficult to be groping around in the dark, making a decision that will bring this unknown and that unknown. Who Moved My Cheese introduces four personalities, of which you are surely one, and shows what happens to them based upon an incident in their lives that forced them to make a decision. The moral of the story is simple, straight forward, and true. Who Moved My Cheese is sweeping through businesses and corporations, and entering the doors of private homes where the occupants are looking to make a positive difference in their lives. Who Moved My Cheese took me about an hour to read, but it is a book that I recommend to everyone.
Rating: Summary: Who Moved My Cheese? Review: Who Moved My Chesse is an exellent book. It helps you deal with change in your work life and in your personal life. The one main thing in the book it is trying to get through to you is always be on the look out for change. I would highly recommend this book to everyone of all ages.
Rating: Summary: The story is too perfect Review: The book is about how different people (parties) response to change. A drawback I see after reading the book is that it does not provide a convincing account on what made the little men change their thoughts. It seems to me that they just get inspired suddenly, while actually I expect that they are inspired by something. This is the crucial part of the theme (what change our perspective), while the book does little on discussing it. Also, it seems that the author has assumed that changing existing practice (or thoughts) in response to change must be good (rewarding), but sometimes resisting change may also be an option. The book does little in discussing this too. In view of the above, the book is not so inspiring to me.
Rating: Summary: Good Review: I listened to this in my car and I quite liked it. The message here is not new, but it is told delightfully.
Rating: Summary: Who Moved My Cheese Review: .....The book is about how to cope with changes in life. It has a cute story, and it can be read in less than a hour. I read it because it's just one of those bathroom books and it's been read by a handful of people. It's kind of fun to talk about it with your friends. Oh, i almost forgot to tell you, the book itself is crap.
Rating: Summary: another lame-brained management book Review: I'm beginning to think that business authors think management is just a bunch of idiots, and judging from the popularity of this book among management reading groups, they may be right. This is yet another simple-minded management book with a message that could be stated in one sentence. If it takes an entire book to get the message across, I see little hope for corporate America.
Rating: Summary: EASY READ, USEFUL IN CAREER AND HOMELIFE. Review: THIS IS AN ADVENTURE IN THE USE OF COMMON SENSE! GOOD USE OF IMAGERY AND HOW THE STORY CONNECTS WITH EVERYDAY LIFE. GOOD FOR TEENS AS WELL!
Rating: Summary: From Middle School Students to Senior Citizens! GREAT! Review: I found WHO MOVED MY CHEESE to be a simple, yet delightful book. If you are a person who learns through and/or remembers analogies/metaphors, this is a great book for you. I plan to use this book for a prevention/intervention teenage "book club" that will focus on dealing with change (something that students need now and will continue to need as the world changes at an alarming rate). This book puts in empathetic and simple terms the stress and anxiety that change inflicts on humans. It is a refreshing change - a book that can be read, understood and is applicable for middle school students to senior citizens.
Rating: Summary: the emperor has NO CLOTHES Review: Do yourself a favor: DON'T jump on this bandwagon. Join the ranks of those of us who have read this and revolted: the emporer is naked. Can we all just admit it and get this OFF the topsellers list? There is NOTHING of value in this book. "The Story" is too stupid to even qualify as trite.
