Rating: Summary: Here is what this book should be named Review: The book is ok as long as you understand that it's used by management to get people to quickly swallow what is feed to them. In fact this book is great under two conditions. First: If your your own boss responsible for your companys direction, then it is great to think this way as you react to market conditions. Second: If you are an employee and your willing to quickly fall into step and eat whatever your boss wants to feed you. From the employees point of view it should have been titled. READ THIS BECAUSE I MOVED YOUR CHEESE.
Rating: Summary: A MUST read! Review: This book was great... I can see why major companies like AT&T, Proctor & Gambel, Pfizer, and others gave it to their employees. I even had my 11 year old son read it!!Whether you're content or unsettled in your career life or personal life, this book is helpful. It's a shame there was a poor review. The writer seemed to have pigeon holed it as an Amway book. I consider the successful people/companies that have read it and follow their reviews... it's not #1 for nothing!!
Rating: Summary: Finding the Cheese! Review: I bought this book for a friend who does not like to read nor does he like to accept help, from a book or person. He has been going through a rough time, both in his personal life and at work. He needed to figure things out for himself, but really didn't have any idea where to begin. He is a businessman-he wants the facts upfront and easy to understand. I read the book before giving it to him and while I found it somewhat elementary, it did get its point across, loud and clear. It truly is perfect for impatient people, like my friend; it gets to the point very quickly and the metaphors make it easy for anyone to understand. It has become my friend's favorite book and now, when I have a problem, he even quotes passages from the book to try to help me figure out what to do. It is a great book and I would recommend it to anyone to read!
Rating: Summary: Who cares where your cheese is! Review: How this is such a bestseller is beyond me. I was certainly not inspired by it in any way. I kept reading hoping to find the reason it has affected so many people - my daughter even had to read it as a requirement in a college course. After reading it I felt like I had been lectured in a very demeaning manner. Not on my best-seller list!
Rating: Summary: who moved my cheese Review: this book reminds me of the emperor's new clothes. I think everybody is afraid to really state their true opinion, and therefore everyone sees the beautiful clothes. i could not believe that this book is a handout at big corporate meetings. to me this all couldv'e been said in one whole entire sentence. it's great for a third grade reading level. i am shocked how the whole society can be hooked on to this best seller.
Rating: Summary: See it for what it offers....simple advice Review: This book offers a simple and easy way to review our ability to accept change. We become docile in life and when someone pulls the rug out from under us, most of us don't know what to do. This book offers us the simple reality of being prepared and not getting caught off guard. Adapatability in this fast pace, hard hitting world is not a skill we are born with. We must learn it and unless it is simple and easy, many of us refuse to take the time until we are in crisis. This book shows us simply and with a humorous side how to be prepared for change. Simplicity sometimes is the best way. Take what you can from this book and leave the rest. No matter what, you will be better for the experience of the read.
Rating: Summary: Insightful piece of Americana Review: This book falls squarely in the all-american optimistic tradition. If you just try a little harder, if you just push a little further...everything is possible! the world is your oyster! it's a wonderful life!!
Rating: Summary: Amway ideology Review: This book is full of cliche's. If you lack seriousness and shallow insight, this book is for you. Good ideas for making a cheap infomercial or an Amway (now Network Marketing and Quixtar)pep rally. The language lacks creativity. The tone sounds like it's a boss giving lip service to self motivate while thinking out loud or an HR trying to sound good to get promoted. Extremely predictable. Don't buy this book. It's a waste of money.
Rating: Summary: Get it, read it, decide for yourself. Review: One little book has generated a remarkable response from readers across the spectrum. Approaching 500 individual reviews on Amazon, and maintaining a top 20 sales position three years after its initial release, "Who Moved My Cheese" is nothing short of a book-marketing phenomenon. The question facing those who have not read this tiny tome remains, "Is it worth it?" The short answer is, "Yes." You will note that reviews tend to vacillate between those who love the book and find it life-changing, and those who strongly dislike the book and wonder what the fuss is all about. I confess to belonging to the former group. The book provides a teaching method that falls into one of the oldest and most powerful categories: The parable. Within this ancient method of conveying ideas, concepts are presented in easily understandable metaphors. To find such an ancient vehicle used in modern business literature is truly a delight. As Dr. Spencer has discovered, it has also proven quite lucrative. If you have not read the book, and you are torn between the positive and negative reviews, let me suggest you get it, read it, and decide for yourself. This is one of those social phenomenons that everyone should experience. Read it, then decide for yourself if you want to incorporate the life-changing lessons the book offers.
Rating: Summary: Often times the simplest things in life are the most profou Review: In the form of a short and sweet fairy tale, this book allows the readers to find out for themselves how quickly and responsively they adapt to their ever changing environment. It has enabled me to look at my behavior, be amused by it, and get right to work. This book gave me the impetus I needed to revamp my business's web site. I took the recommendation of another reviewer and read "WORKING ON YOURSELF DOESN'T WORK" by Ariel and Shya Kane. It is also a book that is clear and concise, about looking at yourself and discovering who you really are, in a neutral, amusing and gentle way. I thank the authors of these two wonderful books. They have made a great difference in my life.
