Summary: Insipid Book Only a Corporate Manager Could Love
Review: Several people I know have been given this book by the companies they work for. Fortunately, I work for a small firm where the managers are also active employees. They don't do "management" type things that must be taught in MBA programs. So I borrowed the book and read it and would now like to get the time back that I wasted doing so. This book is incredibly simple, offering slogans rather than any new ideas, and it makes assumptions that all people are alike. Not only should you not read the book, if your company gives it to you, you should probably begin looking for a new job.

Summary: Nice parable, but I've heard this advice a hundred times
Review: A bunch of classmates gather 'round to tell stories of how their lives and business ventures turned out years after graduation. What ensues is an entertaining story (I'll admit it) about mice and "littlepeople" with a moral that can be summed up very easily: 1) once you attain a certain plateau in life, you'll probably get lazy; 2) human nature is to strive for a comfort zone, and thus, resist change; 3) nothing in life is static, so pay attention to new trends; and 4) don't be afraid to seek a new and better situation with every opportunity.Yes, I'm one of those who was handed "Who Moved My Cheese?" at a recent staff meeting, and I couldn't help but think that the authors' sole objective was to market a book that would be bought in large quantities by every Human Resources department in the world. Turn to the back, and you'll find a form for ordering more copies. Borrow one; it's overpriced. If you're involved in a relationship (work-related or otherwise) and are unaware of feeling complacent or stifled, this book may very well be a revelation, and compel you to rave to all your friends. If you're a good critical thinker with any common sense at all, you'll finish, and say "okay, so then what?"

Summary: Very simplistic
Review: I had heard that this book contained some great insight about the need for change. Instead, what I ofund was a simple and inane fairy tale that didn't really tell me anything I did not already know. Steer clear of this one.

Summary: Cheese sandwich
Review: This ponderous, pretentious collection of dime-store wisdom is enough to prompt the question, on what day did the Lord create "Who Moved My Cheese?", and couldn't he have rested on that day, too?

Summary: Wake up and smell the Coffee!
Review: Upon opening the pages of this slim volume I began to reveal the mystery of management and the details of interacting within core groups at work. In essense the four main characters are easlty recognized in the workplace and will be manifested in your fellow employees. The book is easy to follow but one that may be hard to actually put into play if your staff is unwilling to think outside the box. All too often those that read it will point to those around them as the "hems" and "haws" without realizing that several of their fingers are pointing back at themseles. It's not very profound reading; more so a staight foreward guidebook to becoming proactive instead of reactive. I recommend this work to new managers and old managers alike.

Summary: Small Pricey book, Small Cheap Advice
Review: I can't believe this book has become the hit that it has. It is an oversimplified manual on how to deal with change in the workplace. The author ASSUMES that your problem is having become complacent and arrogant... feeling that the world owes you something. An assumption that is not always correct! Take a minute, think about your situation and how you could have seen it coming, and the best way to move on. There, now you've gotten the whole gist of the book... without paying for it! My boss laid these on several people's desks... maybe that should tell you something.

Summary: "Very" simple reading ...
Review: This is an example of the type of books that make bestsellers today: very simple reading for people that not only do not have the time for profound reading but do not have the ability for profound reading. It is very sad. The final message is nice, though, even if it is so obvious. I guess Dr. Johnson knows who are his target readers.

Summary: Simple but worth the time!
Review: This is a wonderful, simple book that is full of "Life's lessons". Yes it is a simple parable but it helps us to see another way of looking at a situation that could be difficult...change. Sometimes it was a bit predictable but it is light and fun and could help someone move out of immobility and into a proactive place in his/her own life. It was recommended to me and I am glad she did. I gave it a 4 because it seems a bit expensive.

Summary: very disappointing purchase
Review: The reader was not credited for the any level of reasoning power.I was drawn to the concept as a possible gift book but the theme got bogged down in the wordy translation the author appears to find necessary.

Summary: Who (re)moved the content?
Review: If you like slogans, you'll like this book. Enough said. By the time you read this you could already be on, oh, about the 33rd page by now.
