Summary: Much better than I expected
Review: Given the reviews that others have made i was surprised it was so good. It really put into perspective a lot of changes. While at an internship a manager gave me the book to read on a business trip. I really feel that while this book may be directed at those working at a business environment (or maybe that is simply the way I perceived it) it could have been applied numerous times in my college experiance. One problem, he never mentioned the need to work hard at what you're doing and not simply to look for the next best thing. However, be prepared to go to the next best thing if you're getting bored or your position is about to be outsourced!

Summary: Why work at all?
Review: After reading this book (which took about 10 minutes), I wondered why I still work for a living when you can make millions of dollars writing simple books for simple people. It amazes me still how these things (this book, the One Minute Manager, etc.) become cult classics in the business world. While giving a cute story to illustrate human reactions to change, the serious reader interested in change management/grief process should read Elizabeth Kubler-Ross and Viktor Frankl.

Summary: The Wonderful World of Cheese
Review: I found this latest offering from Spencer Johnson quite interesting. Written in a child-like prose, the book gives the sense of one's favorite nursery rhyme, well instilling the valued quality of dealing with change.Sciff and Scurry wasted no time in adjusting to change--quite unlike most of us today. Hem and Haw more aptly fit the description of the average American worker--unable to see change coming, and unwilling to adjust when it does hit us head on. Fortunately for Haw, he eventually came to the realization of his need to "move with the cheese." But not before living on the edge of starvation. Hem never comes to the realization in the book, but one can only wish that the final footsteps heard were his--finally breaking free from the past. I would recommend this book to anyone--young, old, working, non-working. We all deal with change in both our professional and personal lifes and I haven't read anything that deals with it on such a basic level as this work from Spencer Johnson.

Summary: So who won?
Review: In this book, Sniff and Scurry move from an unsuccessful market area without thought of what they may do to improve it. Hem and Haw make an effort to improve the original cheese location (recover the market share) but do not seek opportunities outside the local market. Haw finally moves out and after much searching finds that the rats win! Moral of the story: don't think about what you are doing, just sniff and scurry around in the marketplace and you get the best cheese.

Summary: Simple but potent message
Review: "Who Moved My Cheese" is a simple book with a powerful message about change. Personally I did like the book, but I feel the author did not reinforce his points enough or give enough examples. Many people have written about this same subject, and I do not think this book has anything remarkable to recommend itself. The only unique thing I can think about is the fact that the book was written as a parable using mice and cheese. If you have twenty minutes go ahead and read the book, but I cannot recommend adding this to your personal library.

Summary: A simple message in a simple book.
Review: This book holds a very simple message in the guise of a parable. It describes change in life as somebody moving the cheese away from you (and the other rats). So adapt you must! Its a deceptively simple message, and you would have probably read about it somewhere else before. But once you get the message, there is little left to get from this book. It offers no hidden insights or messages that you can't get from the initial reading. For that reason, I can't rate it higher than four stars.

Summary: Review of "Who Moved My Cheese?"
Review: This is a useful if general book. The advice is often hard to argue with, yet still important if only because this advice is good but often ignored. This book helps in transmitting the need to consider options of paths in improving our lives. "Who Moved My Cheese" tells a parable about how mice, accustomed to conquering a maze where cheese is hidden become so adapted to the routine path, even reorganizing their lives around this path, fall apart when the cheese location is moved. The morale of the story is we must learn to adapt to change. Indeed, especially in these vibrant times, we must prepare for the inevitability of change, recognize when important elements are changing, and properly react to these changes. This book aptly describes common sense without prescribing specific techniques. To the degree many have forgotten coomon sense, this book serves to remind us and wake us to realizing that common sense should prevail.

Summary: Perfect for a commuter
Review: A friend of mine practically insisted that I buy this book. I thought I would by the tape instead of the book and am very happy I did. The writing is not very sophisticated and makes for a much more interesting listen than a read. Perfect timing for a drive to work and back. Some of the points are obvious and maybe even a little corny but still worth remembering. The story becomes predictable, but again, it is important to be reminded of these ideas from time to time so we remember to put them to work in our lives. I have shared the tape with others in my small office and everybody who has heard it has enjoyed it.

Summary: Who Moved My Cheese?
Review: This book was very inspirational to me. I was considering whether or not to try to start me a business and reading this book helped me get over my fears. It also helped me realized that there is nothing wrong with taking chances. I realize that no one is going to give you anything unless you make the attempt to go get it yourself. I am not a reader of books but this book is the best one I've read so far. Thanks to Who Moved My Cheese I have a whole new outlook on life and now my business is in the process of becoming a reality. I would like to thank Mr. Johnson and Mr. Blanchard for writing this book. I love it very much....
