Amazon.com Review
Change can be a blessing or a curse, depending on your perspective. The message of Who Moved My Cheese? is that all can come to see it as a blessing, if they understand the nature of cheese and the role it plays in their lives. Who Moved My Cheese? is a parable that takes place in a maze. Four beings live in that maze: Sniff and Scurry are mice--nonanalytical and nonjudgmental, they just want cheese and are willing to do whatever it takes to get it. Hem and Haw are "littlepeople," mouse-size humans who have an entirely different relationship with cheese. It's not just sustenance to them; it's their self-image. Their lives and belief systems are built around the cheese they've found. Most of us reading the story will see the cheese as something related to our livelihoods--our jobs, our career paths, the industries we work in--although it can stand for anything, from health to relationships. The point of the story is that we have to be alert to changes in the cheese, and be prepared to go running off in search of new sources of cheese when the cheese we have runs out.

Dr. Johnson, coauthor of The One Minute Manager and many other books, presents this parable to business, church groups, schools, military organizations--anyplace where you find people who may fear or resist change. And although more analytical and skeptical readers may find the tale a little too simplistic, its beauty is that it sums up all natural history in just 94 pages: Things change. They always have changed and always will change. And while there's no single way to deal with change, the consequence of pretending change won't happen is always the same: The cheese runs out. --Lou Schuler

Product Description
With more than three million hardcover copies sold in its first two years of publication, Who Moved My Cheese? has become an amazing best-seller, topping the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, BusinessWeek, and USA Today lists. Who Moved My Cheese? is an amusing and enlightening parable about how important it is to quickly deal with change whenever it occurs. The story takes place in a Maze where two mice, Sniff and Scurry, and two littlepeople, Hem and Haw, look for "Cheese." Cheese represents what's wanted in life, whether it's a job, a relationship, money, freedom, recognition, or spiritual peace. The "Maze" in the story represents where you search for what you want. It can be the workplace, your community, or your relationships. The Who Moved My Cheese 2002 Calendar, now in full color, breaks the story down into small, enjoyable daily doses. It also includes inspirational quotes, many of them new, from dozens of well-known people, including Albert Einstein, Lewis Carroll, Charles Darwin, Warren Buffet, Omar Bradley, and Martin Luther King Jr., as well as Dr. Johnson's thoughts and reactions to those quotes.

5 out of 5 stars Who moved my cheese   October 11, 2008
I received the book very quickly, I needed it for school and got it in time. It was like new if not new.


2 out of 5 stars Littlepeople and Mice   October 9, 2008
I am somewhat interested by the characters in this book. A quick read that tells a story about human reluctance to change.


5 out of 5 stars happiness is for everyone, and change is always difficult to deal with   October 8, 2008
Written for the company development plan, this book has helped to save many an individual that I know, including myself from falling under the heavy weight of change.

Using cheese as a metaphor for happiness, it makes sense that if we were mice it would be difficult not to be affected by the loss of our beloved food.

Life is fluid and most people find this inconsistency unsettling. I found this book most helpful in the approach it takes to changes in our lives and would want to share that with as many people as I could.



5 out of 5 stars Are you ready to change?   October 2, 2008
If you have trouble with change you will like this book because it will force you to think about why change is such a problem to you and then, once the awareness strikes, you can change and deal with change more effectively.

I also like The Emotional Intelligence Quick Book as a change primer, and, moreso, as a book that showed me how I can be more effective personally and in my relationships with others.

Oh, as for parables, the only other one I like besides the Cheese is Squawk!: How to Stop Making Noise and Start Getting Results. It's a better read than Cheese and it's lessons are no less powerful.



1 out of 5 stars Rumor has it...   October 1, 2008
...that the reason this book is a best-seller is that companies about to lay off lots of people are buying it in bulk to distribute to those on the way out, in the hope that it'll brainwash them to the extent that they won't go postal and return to their erstwhile workplace with AK-47s.

Sounds likely to me.
