Summary: Who Moved My Cheese?
Review: Good, easy to read book. A must for anyone feeling down on themselves. Introduces a new look on change and the inevitablility of change in today's competitive marketplace. I would recommend it to anyone interested in more finincial and emotional freedom.

Review: This Cheese smells great!! Very practical book. Show a common story in this days. How the most of the people react to the change, in any sense: work, family any kid of change. And how a few live after change... Good reference for people who is working in change process or change management. Very powerful metaphor. Easy to read. I recommend read this book, With a little time slice you can earn a lot.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One Hour to Understand Change
Review: This was one of the best hours I have ever spent, reading Who Moved My Cheese? Too often today, we wait for others or the situation to change rather than seeking a path that will lead us to a better soltution or result. We waste time waiting, heehawing or becoming frustrated with life's situation. This book taught me to accept it and get on with it.

If you haven't read it, it only takes about an hour. And it is a great and simple way to understand change. But most important, it is a great way to accept it and find out "where is the NEXT cheese."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Book
Review: Highly recommended for anyone who has chosen change in their life, or for anyone who will encounter change (which is inevitable). This book addresses our fear of change, be it career, marriage, divorce, other relationships or social changes. Encourages a positive perception of change, be it chosen or forced upon us. Great book.

Summary: Throw Away This Trash.....Read "Management by Vice" Instead!
Review: "Who Moved My Cheese?" is a ridiculous book! It panders to over-inflated managerial egos, which revel in condescendingly viewing all other employees as the "littlepeople" or preferably sniffing and scurrying mice with "simple rodent brains". And who are the managers in this parable? It is obvious from the "Discussion" section that they are supposed to be visionaries, who graciously hand down this simple-minded advice with all of the derogatory comparisons. This only confirms that it is management's counter-productive mental attitudes and behavior patterns that are truly in dire need of serious change!

If you want to read a quality book, which respects the intelligence of employees and gives a voice to their perspective on management, the hilarious American satire, "Management by Vice" by C.B. Don is highly recommended. Just leave this atrociously produced, "best-selling" trash for the feeble-minded managers, who make such "great" managerial decisions as to actually endorse it and squander the company profits for the sake of a management ego-trip!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A little reminder can't hurt...
Review: I agree with those who have given this book a poor review, in that, there really is nothing in it that you don't already know. However, I disagree that it is a waste of time to read. It is very easy in today's busy world to forget what you already know -- and that is that change happens. Yes, change happens every day and we are constantly dealing with it. However, sometimes it is easy to get stuck in a rut and resist change. If being conscious of a problem is half the battle, then how can this book be all bad? It definitely raises your awareness of how change affects all of us and provides simple ways to deal with it. I won't say it's the best book I've ever read, but it's definitely worth the 30 minutes it will take you to read it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Navigate Thru Your Life "Maze"
Review: "WHO MOVED MY CHEESE" is a fast paced parable for changes in life, which I enjoyed very much. It contains insights for dealing with changes in all aspects of life. If you read this parable with an open mind it will help you navigate thru the maze of your life to find "the cheese" ie satisfaction.

Another book I strongly suggest reading is "WORKING ON YOURSELF DOESN'T WORK" by Ariel and Shya Kane. This book has given me the set of instructional keys to unlock my own particular life mazes. It can do the same for you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: No Longer Afraid
Review: The organization I work for is bringing in a team to study ways to streamline some of our procedures so we can better serve our customers. The idea has some people crawling out of their skins. Two teams have been set up to review policies, procedures etc. They gave us this little book and said it might be helpful before we start working on the things we feel we should change. (after reading negative reviews I want you to know we are not downsizing). What an amazing little book. Yes it is simplistic and the story is more of an allegory than deep literature, but everyone in the office (with the exception of a few who have the personalities of hem) have gotten so much from it in so little time. It is not just work related but personal. I am ordering multiple books to give to friends going through personal changes and to officers of an organization I belong to. I only wish this book had been available 4 years ago when my husband died suddenly after 32 years of marriage. I had never lived alone or made all my own decisions, so my cheese was certainly moved. Yes, I got through it but it would have been nice to have had a book like this to add a little humor to the changes I was making in my life. It will certainly lighten up the atmosphere at work.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Sad commentary on us
Review: Someone sent me this book. I spent the hour it takes to read it immobile, in shock. Where have we come to that people actually spend $20 on extended Hallmark cards and rave that it has "changed their lives?" A clever man, this author, he's made a fortune out of our ignorance on the most basic issues. Sad. Sad. Sad. The book went out with the rubbish the same evening and I sent a polite thank you.

What else can you do?

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Simplistic introspection
Review: After reading this book, I've decided that it is an extremely simplified segregation of what all of us feel inside at any given time in our lives. In fact, I had a hard time of hurdling the first flaw in the writing... the cheese is described as the consolidation of what one would want in my life, yet the entire book removes the power from the entity creating the cheese to say that the cheese can be molded and removed from someone's life. I don't buy that... scenarios change... my cheese preference remains the same. When the scenario changes is when I go elsewhere to find the fulfilling cheese. At any rate, this is mediocre at best.
