Who Moved My Cheese?: An Amazing Way to Deal with Changein Your Work &in Your Life
OK, so all the reviewers have dissected this little book to infinity & beyond. But its very much worth reading, & won't take you long, & might just give you that little push to get out of the rut & take a wider prespective.
Ideal for people who livein prisons & want to break out (metaphorically speaking)
Entertaining Lesson. - By: a reviewer, 02 Oct 2008 
A short story about 2 mice & 2 'little people'in a maze looking for cheese.
Of course 'cheese' is just a metaphor for what you wantin life (such as money, the ideal job), & the 'maze' represents where you are looking for what you want (such as your family, an organization). As the story goes, one of the characters (Haw) learns to deal with change successfully & writes what he has learned on the maze wall. In this way, the reader gets the main pointsin the book & can learn too how to deal with life's changes.
A little book that is big on wisdom, many should find it entertaining & useful. Also recommended The Sixty-Second Motivator -another short story that is to the point & practical.
interesting but... - By: Janie, 29 Sep 2008 There's something undeniably a little silly about this book - a parable about cheese! But once you've got used to the idea it does have some resonance. It teaches us something about how to deal with change & move out of our comfort zone to accept the new. It's slightly difficult to understand why this book is so successful though - surely there's nothing particlularly new about this message. Other self help type books I have found more rewarding recently are Making Time by Steve Taylor & Tolle's The Power of now. Making Time: Why Time Seems to Pass at Different Speeds & How to Control It
Cheese - Intriguing Metaphor - By: edrm, 16 Sep 2008 Cheese - this is the most intriguing metaphor I've ever seen! I still have no idea why Spencer Johnson used that, but it seems to me that he used Cheese as means of social skills or flexibility. I guess we must get rid of our old cheese to adapt to any changes. Otherwise, we will be likely to be left behind or social loners.
According to this book, 2 mice, Sniff & Scurry were sophisticated enough to get new Cheese. On the other hand, 2 Littlepeople, Hem & Haw got agitated because the Cheese at Cheese Station C, where they felt comfortable, disappeared out of the blue. At first, they gradually ran out of their energies, not knowing what to do next. However, Haw began to think twice as he wrote the messages on each wall for Hem. Therefore, Haw got back on his feet again & found New Cheese at Cheese Station N, where he could be friends with Sniff & Scurry! What happened to Hem? He was so stubborn that he dwelled on Cheese Station C, where no cheese existed.
Unfortunately, nobody can tell whether Hem would change his mind. But everybodyin this story would feel happier, if Hem decided to get New Cheese instead of sticking to Old one! Anyway, I'd say no one can promise what you have is always useful forever, because everything changesin the world.
The sickness of our time - By: Anthony Martel, 18 Jun 2008 
To reduce philosophy & literature to pieces of garbage is the main characteristic of our time, a dark agein belief. Absolute individualism, freedom, egocentricism are destroying the Western society have already show serious signs of all kinds of sickness. And this book & the phenomenon it created is nothing new, but really old: that people without direction but full of illusion have every reason to cheer about, when they see something like this to further draw their hearts to the darkness that refuses the light. I wonder how long this darkness & sickness will last.
