 sweet little story January 28, 2008
Who moved my cheese is a sweet and thoughtfull little story, told as a fable, about how different people react in situations of change and turmoil. It's well written and easy to digest. I read it on a flight from copenhagen to london in one sitting, and smiled as i put it down. It's heartly, and yet teaches you a few things.
It reminds me of the old saying: "you don't dig a hole in a right spot, by digging one in the wrong place deeper". The point of the book is to get people to acknowledge change and go with it, instead of using it as an excuse to complain, and being afraid of the unknown.
worth a read.
 An hours read to change the rest of your life January 27, 2008
A fantastic book. If you are "stuck" in life, hate your job but there is nothing you can do about it, then read this book. You will suddenly understand that the only thing stopping change is you!
Hopefully, like me, it will be the catalyst to set you out on a new path.
Best book about dealing with change I've read November 24, 2007
I loved this book and thought it a revelation. I still go back to it when I'm facing change I can't deal with. Maybe it's a bit too whimsical for some people but if you can communicate with your inner child then this book will mean something to you. If you're a cynic then it won't.
Chicken soup or fondue? October 24, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book is a bit like chicken soup. It's simple, with just a few ingredients. It's warming, soothing and reassuring (OK, it's a bit uncomfortable reading at first, but then again, the first mouthful of soup is always too hot).
Analogies aside, the book is a good way to help you refocus on what you are doing with your life and give you that motivation to carry on. It can make a difference.
And OK, it's like fondue because it can be a little sticky and cloying at times. But so is life...
 Cheesops Fable July 9, 2007
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
As the ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus once said, "The only constant is change." The worlds of business, politics, and culture continually bear out this unsettling truth. Unfortunately too many of us have become creatures of habit and refuse to go with the flow. Instead of benefiting from changing winds of fortune, we prefer to dig our heels in and let opportunities slip. These are the problems of attitude addressed in this easy-to-read book by Spencer Johnson, a medical doctor and the co-author of the best-selling business classic "The One Minute Manager."
Johnson specializes in helping people discover simple truths that can help them to enjoy more success with less stress. Among his many published works, he has also penned a number of popular children's books. This perhaps explains the simplicity of style in "Who Moved My Cheese," which is best described as a kind of parable that takes place in a maze and features four characters, two mice, Sniff and Scurry, and two mouse-sized people, Hem and Haw.
The outlines of the story are reflected in the names of the characters: Sniff and Scurry suggest their uncomplicated, go-getting attitude to cheese, while Hem and Haw are synonyms of acting indecisively. Although some people may find this book patronizingly simple, the adventures of the mice and mini-humans in this Aesop-like fable carry a profound message. While cheese is equally important to all four, the two mice, by having less intellectual baggage, are more adept at adapting to the change represented by the moving of the cheese. Hem and Haw, by comparison, find change more difficult to manage, as it involves changing their self-image and belief systems. Many will see this as a subtle poke at CEOs and politicians who prefer to stick to old formulas instead of embracing the challenges of the future.
