Summary: excellent reading
Review: This book can alter your perspective on change if you are open enough to receive the message! It is a book worth reading over and over, each time with the possibility of taking something new from it! Perfect for ALL ages and ALL walks of life, ALL professions. The storytelling format is brilliant, don't be surprised if you see people you know in the characters of Hem, Haw, Sniff, and Scurry. Hopefully YOU, yourself, will identify with one or more of the characters. After each read, I found myself thinking about it throughout the day, and finding events in the day that I could reference to the book. I was recommended this book by a friend and I liked it so much that I bought my own copy. I have loaned my copy out several times. "Who Moved My Cheese" is not your average motivational book, it is so much more! Don't sneeze at the title, don't turn your nose up at the simplicity of the writing...it all has meaning. There's no guarantee that any one book can change your life, but if you LET "Who Moved My Cheese" affect you, you may see so many things in your life in a NEW light!

Summary: A lame and condescending look at the obvious
Review: This book is being passed around in order to brainwash employees not to think for themselves or to speak out against unfair or disruptive processes and procedures that management may ineptly impose upon those employees. It is trite and inappropriate and conveys the worst sentimentality of all regarding typical top-down patronizing behaviour. I assisted a company to become acquired and this was passed around as a panacea to people working with the company who had very real and pertinent questions that were not being answered. Perfect for hypocrites in human resources and others who earn their living by lying to people.

Summary: Who Moved My Cheese?
Review: Change is something everyone at some point in time has to face. This book reminds us to accept change and has an innovative approach. Although it is simplistic in nature, it provides motivation in a creative way. I've read many books in my life, on many subjects, and this one takes the cake! Time is of utmost importance in any schedule. This book can be read within 1 hour or less. Bravo!

Summary: A Wonderful Book That Will Help Us all!
Review: We all need cheese. Mice, humans, every living thing. But we think too much and make everything complicated. There is a reason that this book is only 94 pages. It reduces the mass convulated mess that we call life into it's simplist components. Most of us don't know how to deal with the cheese. And we have different styles of dealing with it. I've read this book twice. I'm going to read it again and again. I am one of the mice. In keeping the cheese. I don't let go with change. Johnson, like in "One Minute Manager", reduces the complex into the simplest equations so that we can really get to the core. This book has helped me greatly. I am very greatful. Buy the book and start living.

Summary: Change happens, deal with it or starve
Review: If your life is or might be impacted by change read this book. Told in allegory form similar to Johnson's 1 Minute books some might be put off by the style; don't be! It's very easy to become accustomed to the status quo. However, as anyone who has observed the last 5 years should know, change happens. Further, there isn't anything we can do to prevent change. The first step to managing change is to accept that things will change -- usually totally unexpectedly. Who Moved My Cheese provides a a set of guidelines that can help you anticipate and even enjoy change. This is a book you can read in an evening and appreciate forever.

Summary: A simplistic outlook on life.
Review: This is an amazing little book if you read it with an open mind. The book is about change and what happens to those of us who are not willing to change. I think a lot of people who rated this book so low did not see the hidden message. Give the book a chance. It only takes about an hour to read and maybe it might change your perspective on a few issues as well.

Summary: Highly entertaining, highly educational
Review: This book leads by example. It provides and entertaining story that exhibits how gradual changes can lead to profound improvements. Parallels can be drawn between the characters and oneself, which is not found very often in books of this type. This book helps show how easily goals can be lost, and how easily they can be found once more if one can just learn not to be afraid. (*Interesting fact: This book intrigued both a 15-year-old and a 48-year-old at the same time, and actually got them talking civily over a serious subject for once.)

Summary: We need some wine to go with this cheese
Review: The idea behind the book is good - to remind people how easy it is to get into a rut without even knowing it. The book is to simplistic. Change management should have been explored more.

Summary: What's wrong with simple?
Review: For those of you that responded with such distaste for this book...relax. This book was awesome! In fact, I just bought 40 more for my staff. In a world of email, palm pilots, pagers and cell phones I am on information overload. So I ask, what is wrong with taking an hour out of your life to read something simple, yet thought provoking. Sure we all hear the change rhetoric but many people are fearful of how change will impact them. Remember what Albert Einstein once said, "Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler." Enjoy the book!

Summary: A Great Book
Review: If only I hadn't taken my last class at GSB, I would have thought that this book was a waste of paper. However, it does have some great points so give this book to your parents. I think they will love it.
