Summary: be adaptive or extinct
Review: yes that's what "who moved my cheese" intimates to the reader. the author must've taken a lot of pain to bring such simple facts of life in a simple language. the book differs from other conventional "moral boosters". it really keeps the reader interested in "what next". here he took ther example of two mouse and two small people. the principles of the story are narrated in simple and interesting way.
the book can easily be corelated to day to day life

Summary: Short and to the point
Review: A very good little book on moving with change, rather than against it. Most of the negative reviews here are from people who are bitter about being impacted by changes and totally missed the point of the book. If you read the book I'm sure you will figure out which character they are.This isn't any deep study on the subject of change, just a simple story that may help some people start looking at changes in their life a little differently. Basically, change can be a good thing, complaining on and on about it does you little good.

Summary: Beware the Cheese!
Review: "I like to give this book out to all my employees before I lay them off. It helps the realize the importance of not resisting change and diverts their energies to infighting among theselves. It also makes me feel less guilty. Whenever I meet someone I poleaxed recently, I think to myself, 'Sure I fired you. But at least you got a parting gift.' This book is like businessmen's Turtle Wax. I heartily recommend that every ruthless corporate raider buy it in bulk before going on a hatchet spree." - from Mason Brown's parody, "Who Cut the Cheese" available through Amazon.com

Summary: Who wrote this carp?
Review: The only thing worse than read this piece of lightweight pap that passes for workplace philosophy is sitting through a 3-hour presentation of it complete with overheads and video. Actually it's worse realizing that people are making money from writing, selling and teaching this nonsense. Wait - it's worse to realize corporate America would rather spend money on these worthless and degrading seminars than to give out raises....

Summary: Not bad, but definitely not the new "7 Habits..."
Review: The book is so easy to follow that I could read it in little over an hour, and I'm nothing close to a fast reader. It deals with a metaphor for dealing with change incarnated in the stories of different mice 'trapped' in a labyrinth trying to find their way back to the cheese they were so used to. There are those who easily adapt to change, and even are ready for it before it arrives; those who have a bit of a hard time adapting to it, but still end up getting used to it; and, then, those who will never be able to cope with change. Success belongs to the first, and partly to the second group. There goes the story... Bad? Not at all, but I don't know if a book is needed to cover this topic. If you're thinking of this book as new "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" I hate to have to bring down your expectations: far from it.

Summary: Short but very meaningful
Review: This book is very short as it can be read in an hour or so. The message; however, is very meaningful and doesn't need 300 pages of filler. The book will be very helpful to people dealing with change if they apply the principles set forth here.

Summary: You are a moron if you like this book.
Review: There is a sucker born every minute and they have all bought this book. No wonder the self-help industry makes so much money. So many people think that reading a book like this will change their life when the only way to change a life is to take action, not read a book full of generic parables.
This book is full of advice that everyone knows, so why do they buy this book? I feel sorry for all of those who had to read this thing in a corporate or motivational environment. This book is so insulting, now you know what your management or leadership really thinks about you. They think you are an idiot. Come on, life and business isn't as hard as Dr. Spencer makes it out to be. Remember, business isn't life or death, and its not what truly matters, so quit looking for your salvation in a meaningless, overpriced book.

Summary: Change is Everywhere
Review: In this fast paced technological age it seems change is constant. I like the way the author presented this. At times we all feel like mice in a maze, lost and, unable to find what we are looking for. One thing is for sure, if you keep doing the same thing over and over again and you get no results, you should do something different. The idea is to keep going and not slow yourself down by complaining. Another book I really
enjoyed about discovering how much easier life can truly be is "Working on Yourself Doesn't Work" by Ariel and Shya Kane.

Summary: Excellent Book - If you can understand the message!
Review: I read this book(in about an hour) while on vacation. I'm getting a copy to keep around so I (hopefully) won't forget the message. Basically, the message is: "When change happens, relax and DEAL with it!" Simple message - difficult to apply.
Sometimes, the most profound truths are contained in simple parables. This is such a parable. If a negative change has happened to you, get this book... If negative change hasn't happened to you, get this book... the change is coming!!
Perhaps those who left poor reviews on this book need to have someone explain it to them!

Summary: Mindless corporatespeak.
Review: This book is not profound. Its another exapmle of someone operating on the time tested principal of "if you want to adress corporate types and get them to understand anything, you must speak to them like kindergardeners". The concepts in this book are so basic, that if you are the type of person that found some sort of personal revalation in this book, then you have much larger problems to deal with than facing change. In such a case please seek help in either rehabilitating from the brain trauma that you must have suffered early on, continuing to work with your severe learning disability, or trying to reverse the lobotomy.
