Summary: THE most important thing to know about this book
Review: If your department is ever given several copies of this book, that means that management is going to fire most of you. Trust me on this.

Summary: Might be useful for introducing change to kids...
Review: My family has always loved Spencer Johnson's value tales, and I approached this book with great expectations. But I found it trite, pretentious, repetitious, and not as well-written as some of his other books. It was also agonizingly commercial - sprinkled throughout the book are touts to buy thousands of copies for your business so that everyone can hear the profound message that you shouldn't be afraid, change is good for you!It is written at about the seventh grade level, and as I read it, I thought it might be useful for introducing the "facts of change" to youngsters.

Summary: A tale so simple yet so true
Review: How many of us have worked in an environment in which people have happily been putting in time for years and feel very secure in that situation? Furthermore, what are the results when a manager brings about change? Of course, we all know the result is office gossip, complaints and desparate attempts to watch out for ourselves and ddefensively protect our turf. But, isn't it better to anticipate change and seek to profit by it. In my legal practice I lease space in a suite of several lawyers. A new lawyer with new plans has moved in and several lawyers have moved out. I hope that I am able to look at this change and see opportunities rather than reasons to be afraid. For example, might I be able to pick up business that might have otherwise gone to the attorneys who left? Might I be able to get referals from the new lawyer as he builds a practice which may be too busy for him to handle alone? The point of this charming tale is that we fear change and when change occurs, we must seek to determine how we would act if we were not afraid. Then, we must act accordingly. This is a short and simple book that can easily be read in one sitting but, it's lessons can change the way we look at new, unfamiliar situations. I recommend this book highly.

Summary: Corporate Drivel
Review: If you can stomach the trite characters, the cliche' metaphore, and the patronizing tone; you'll suffer through enough of the book to discover the ridiculous message--don't think. Don't question, don't ponder, don't consider--just chase your goal like a blind rat. Don't stop to consider that perhaps you're better off without the cheese or have grown beyond the bait corporate America sets out for you. Keep your cheese.

Summary: Corporate Claptrap
Review: I was handed this to read by my manager at a large company that was recently devoured --- er, merged --- by a gigantic corporate empire. I read the first half, then disgustedly scanned the rest, making a mental note to update my resume that night. The message I got: Be a nice little lemming and jump off the cliff with the rest of the wonderful little rodents who follow our leaders blindly until they take mercy on you and let you drown. Thank goodness I didn't have to buy it, but I want those 20 minutes of my life back!

Summary: ... shared wisdom ...
Review: I read this book in 40 minutes -- 20 minutes on the bus on the way to work, 20 minutes on the way back. The little mouse story is cute, and the author makes a lot of sense, but all you really find out is that you need to look at yourself and think about what you will have to do when everything you count on changes. Here's the author's cheat sheet summarizing the book -- for free!: * change happens * anticipate change * monitor change * adapt to change quickly * change * enjoy change * be ready to quickly change again and again Some good lessons, great marketing, and a lot of hype. Wait for the paperback.

Summary: Who moved your brain?
Review: This book is certainly a commercial product. The parable can only be useful for those who never has absorbed the unconscious reflection on the ancestral lessons of life which already are codified even in the most mutant DNA sequence that rambles nomadic in the planet. The morals that I interpret are: The women do not exist, or at least within the context of the success they do not have capacity or they are unnecessary. Maybe they are lost in the darkest turns of the labyrinth or maybe they are the anonymous manufacturers of cheeses. It only concerns the individual. . The society does not exist. Only the mice reach their goals by instinct. If you want to succeed follow the mice or at least act like them. If you want to succeed leave the friends. Also I remembered this old axiom: Never trusts the book whose prologue is not more than repetitive and flattering praises to it. For sure the content stinks out to cheese.

Summary: An excellent parable.
Review: This is an excellent parable -- particularly the question "What would you do if you weren't afraid?" That's worth framing and hanging on your wall. But this book is not well written and is definitely not worth $20 -- $5 maybe. The type size is huge just to make the book appear longer. The parable itself would take up about 20 pages of normal-size type. The ideas are worth your time, but I suggest that you stop at the library rather than shelling out so much hard cash.

Summary: Don't let the naysayers send you away...simple is best.
Review: Who Moved My Cheese? is a simple book and that is what makes it great. The story is simple and the principle is simple. You must accept change and adapt to it to change. Profound? No! Insightful into the problems of most people? YES! The reason this simple book works is because most people working in your company or factory think simply. They are not deep thinkers that desire to understand the workings and mechanics of your business. They want to do their job and get a paycheck. The fact is, most of them are scared when their job or environment changes and being able to bring that fear down to the simple observations found in the book can and will help them. This book is not for the great business leaders of our day or the business leaders (and book reviewers) who believe they are great. It is for the people who believe that life is simple and simple principles are the best and easiest to guide their lives. I recommend it to everyone.
