Summary: A simple look at how to deal with stress.
Review: I liked this book. It was concise. Most self help books are long winded tomes that must be very impressive to their authors, but usually bore the reader to death. Mr. Johnson got it right. He gets to the point and presents it in an easily readable format. In other words, his goal was to help the reader. It's refreshing after some of the other 500+ page books I've read that are now gathering dust in my yard sale pile. I think this is a keeper!Of course, this style is not for everyone. Some people may find it lacking of more detailed information. Others may find it to be a rehash of what they already know. But, since it's a short book, give it a good look over before you by it. It you find it helpful, then buy it. If not, then keep looking.

Summary: "Deja Vu All Over Again"
Review: My title is a quotation from another "great pop psychologist," Yogi Bera (Sp?). Let me see if I've got this straight. Be alert and recognize change before it happens. Don't waste your time with frivolous analysis. That's unproductive. Act like a brainless creature with no analytic ability and blindly run about until you happen to accidently run into an acceptable alternative. If you're a little slow to catch on, when you do, emulate the brainless creature. With luck, you might end up sharing a cave with two mice. What I find really frightening is the fact that too many people read and agree with this simplistic stuff. From what I read in other reviews, a lot of corporate culture mavens think this is some sort of a panacea. No wonder so many of our corporations are in such financial straits. The era of thoughtful management (If there ever was such an era) is no more. We've all heard this before but it still makes money for the purveyors of instant solutions. You said it Yogi.

Summary: Who moved My Cheese?
Review: I was recommended to read the book by a friend and have passed it on to several other friends. By reading the reviews, I feel those who didn't like it HAD to read it as part of their jobs. lighten up, maybe if you try reading it for yourself this time instead of under orders. You might see the point of the book.

Summary: Cheese for the Soul.
Review: $12 and 45 minutes and some deep thoughts: thats all the it costs to change your life. I assure you that it will be well worth it if you take the right approach to reading the book. Keep in mind that it is only a book and that it has no magical powers. With this in mind, you must be aware that anything you get out of this book has to be a direct result of you specifically applying your life situations to the situations in the book. If you just read the book and expect to change then you are in for a rude awakening. The book is meant to stimulate your thoughts and in a way help you understand yourself better. You must look into your self and try to see how the book applies to you. Everyone is different so everyone is going to have a different take on the book so it is up to you to find that little mouse in you.Enjoy the book and be good.

Summary: Juvenile, stop telling us what we already know.
Review: All management staff was asked to read this - only takes about thirty minutes. Although there were a few gems, most of the book was a re-hash. The information in the book could have been summarized in just a few sentences.

Summary: How to Convince People to Be Content in 94 Pages or Less
Review: "Who Moved My Cheese?", takes an overly simplistic view toward change. Undoubtedly, the CEOs and managers who rave about this book must think the author's ideas are SO wonderful because the book provides an easy way for them to rationalize change and its effects on their employees. However, the ideas presented in the book overlook several important points: Not all change is necessarily good. Some of the ideas presented in the post-story discussion seem to advocate change just for the sake of change. This is clearly not a good idea. Change must be carefully considered before it can be carried out successfully. Further, the book never addresses the issue of why change occurs, or how people affected by change sometimes need to critically evaluate the changes that are occurring around them. Leaders CAN make the wrong decisions, and sometimes only vigilance by "everyday" workers can prevent increased costs to the organization by stopping ill-considered change before it occurs. Finally, some of the ideas in the book can--and undoubtedly will--be used by managers to remove the guilt associated with their role in organizational upheaval: "Gee, Employee X didn't learn to roll with punches....I think I'll let him go, but give him this book so eventually he'll realize that I did this for his own good." How ridiculous! Unfortunately, I'd bet that more than a few organizational leaders actually do think this way. In short, the author has put forth yet another document in the vast genre of self-help literature that provides all-too-easy answers to life's complex situations. Save your money and think for yourself.

Summary: Quite Fromaged that I even read this
Review: One of our top company executives thought that this book was good enough to pass along a copy to all of our company employees (which is quite common around the country these days, hence the placement of this repulsive title on the 'Best Sellers' list). I was shocked and amazed that this simplistic and demeaning book was deemed a good idea by anyone. It comes across as little more than upper management propaganda, and a tool to soften the blows of bad management decisions. I say, question exactly *who* moved the cheese and *why* at every opportunity you get. If the answers aren't exeptable, break free of the maze and storm the dairy demanding accountability from the cheese makers and movers!

Summary: Who Moved My Cheese?
Review: Who Moved My Cheese is a book about how different people react to change in their life. There are four characters in the book. Two of the characters are mice named Sniff and Scurry. The other two characters, Hem and Haw are little people the size of mice. The four charactors are in a giant maze. Running through the maze, Hem, Haw, Sniff, and Scurry look for big blocks of cheese to eat. The cheese is located in cheese stations hidden in the maze. Every morning, the characters wake up and go out into the maze to look for cheese. The cheese symbolizes whatever the reader would like it to be. The cheese could represent whatever is important, such as your job, your house,or your money. As old cheese is used up, the charactors react differently concerning what action they should take next. Sniff and Scurry are constantly watching the changes in the cheese day by day. They know one day the cheese will be gone and they are prepared to go out and look for new cheese. Hem and Haw, like many people, don't notice any changes in the cheese. They think that the cheese will always be there. One day, when Hem and Haw go to eat some cheese, it is all gone. Instead of moving on with their life, like Sniff and Scurry, they sit there feeling sorry for themselves asking why did this bad thing happen to them. While they are complaining, Sniff and Scurry are busy trying to find new cheese. Running through the maze in new areas, Sniff and Scurry finally find new cheese. After a few days, Haw can't take not eating anymore. He decides to go out into the maze and try to find new cheese. Hem doesn't want to go and hopes that the old cheese will come back. Haw leaves and goes out to look for new cheese. As Haw runs through the maze, he writes his thoughts on the wall. After searching for many days, Haw finally finds a new cheese station. It has more cheese than Haw had ever seen in his life. After a few weeks, Haw hears a noise around the corner. It is Hem. Hem finally realized that things had changed and he had no choice but to go out and find new cheese. Hem found his way through the maze by following Haw's messages that he had written on the wall. This story is a good reminder that life has many changes. Some people expect change and adjust with it, while other people try to hold on to the way things used to be.
