Summary: consider the source before rejecting the message
Review: I laughed out loud when I read the Amazon.com reader review who recommended renaming this book, "Read This, Because I Just Moved Your Cheese." Too true! Because corporate leadership has a vested interest in cajoling their worker mice into embracing the hunt for new cheese, and because they may or (more likely) may not be especially interested in their employees' personal growth, I join the many reviewers who resent being lectured to and/or talked down to by their bosses through this book. But, that doesn't mean there aren't valuable lessons in here that everyone can benefit from. I know I did, and I'm buying copies for some friends. I would strongly recommend giving this book to a friend, a loved one, or a coworker you sincerely care about. I would just as strongly caution the bosses of the world against ramming this down the throats of their entire workforce.

Summary: Big Surprise - my boss made me read it.
Review: Admittedly, I approached this book with suspicion, since I have found the "One Minute Manager" to be one of the most idiotic and dehumanizing approaches to leadership in my lifetime. However, since my boss decided everyone in my department should read this book (which was deposited impersonally in my mailbox), I dutifully gave up a lunch hour and did so. Bosses: note what goes through the employees' heads. 1. Is this really the reading level of the average American? Or just my boss? 2. Maybe my boss is trying to tell me something. Guess I'll call back that interview offer after all. In other words, I would not recommend giving this book to any adaptible, intelligent employees whom you wish to keep. And I doubt it will affect the sheep in any way whatsoever. To individuals who want to know what the fuss is about, you'd probably better read it just so you don't look uninformed. Try your library. It's not like you need to read it more than once.

Summary: How to welcome change
Review: An amazing story that takes you through a maze where yoou see the whole picture. Life from all sides! It focuses on how you adapt to change when it comes and why you should go on and never stop. Very easy to grasp concept for both the average person and the business person.

Summary: suprise, suprise....
Review: I just ordered this book and I was more then suprised when has arived. The book ofered 96 pages of reading with blocks of letteres big enough to read it from any of Ljubljana scyscrapers. As normal, this one couldn't less more then 40 pages. So I try to put my disappointment away by reading this pile of paper. And it was the same. It statrts very promising, but soon this promise diminished in quite demeaning manner. Maybe this book is just good enough for HS kid. I was expecting book dealing with many ways of changing, specialy with it's practical look. But this was kind of a new-age mambo jambo, which is solving problems in black&white manner. It's a good start but don't expect to much. Try to find new cheese.

Summary: Something interesting here...
Review: I found that almost to a man (and woman) those in the business world who loved this book were in management, and those who disliked the book were the typical empoloyees under management. It doesn't take any brains here to see that when you have something that the business world goes ga-ga over it spells trouble for the working person. In these pages are tools management will try to use to justify their poor treatment of the people under them. I've had good bosses and poor ones. The good ones knew the people reporting to them had real lives and those lives hinged on their jobs. The bad bosses looked at their people the same way the book does. Don't like that you worked long hours and still got a bad review so your boss could stay in budget and not give you a good raise? Got overlooked for a promotion? Well if you make a fuss about it then you're the one with the problem. Sorry I don't think so. It's sad really when you realize how far removed management is from the real world of what goes on. I think this is a wonderful book! It stands as an example of how the business world looks at it's employess. Cannon fodder.

Summary: Do NOT Be Brainwashed By This Overrated Pamphlet.
Review: Our company's middle management received free copies of this book, and I read it in about 15 minutes. First of all, this is one of the silliest and most simplified ways to label and identify "achievers" and "failures" in the business world that it's absolutely SHOCKING to me that so many people are falling for it's faux-wisdom. After I finished, I learned literally NOTHING from the book that I hadn't known from my first high school business class. I call this book a "pamphlet" because it has a smaller page number than most children's picture books ... It is the ultimate rip-off. I won't spoil the story for those of you who are dying to read it, but the crux of the book's theme is "learn to adapt." It's something that everyone should already know, but the fact that it's consistently selling is probably an indication that most people DO NOT know this basic survival technique. It is amazing to me. It shows that the business world believes that the workforce cannot adapt, and that this tome of ultimate wisdom will break them out of their complacency. If you can adapt to situations, if you can find ways to solve problems, if you are able to forge ahead into unknown territory, this book is a waste of time for you. It did not enlighten me, nor did it provide me with an ounce of information I hadn't been using already in my day-to-day work.

Summary: OUTSTANDING!!
Review: This book was written this way to give the reader a very obvious way of seeing themselves. Please read the book. From my 63 year old father to my 9 year old daughter, everyone can relate to this book. It was truly a gift to be given the opportunity to read such a well written book. Thank you Spencer Johnson!

Summary: Cheese Mover.
Review: I am such a complete Who-Moved-My-Cheese-head. Spending a lot of time in Green Bay, it's my duty. When people see this on my desk I make a joke that it's about the Packer's being moved to Fudge, Pennsylvania. Get's em everytime, LOL! After reading the book, I feel that the real way to do things is that YOU move the cheese. Slap that cheese around, give it what-for, show it who's boss. That's how we do it around here, forgettaboudit! This calendar is pretty cool. I like it and stuff, the only problem is I read all the witty retorts and quips the first day I got it, now I forget for weeks at a time to flip the date.

Summary: Change... Good or Bad????
Review: This book is an excelent read for anyone in a corporateenviroment or even a smaller private company. It explains how peopleneed to view change as a positive step rather than something that isdone just to make things harder and more miserable for them. Itexplains the process of how to accept change as well as the things(negitive and positive) that are are the mindset of employees before,during and after change is implemented. VERY GOOD BOOK!

Summary: Stop the insanity
Review: Please do not inflict this book on your workforce. It insults the intelligence of the reader, pretends that bad changes cannot be opposed or reversed, and suggests that mice, who operate by instinct, have a better all-around attitude than humans. At least mice don't write dreck like this.
