Dr. Johnson, co-author of The One Minute Manager and many other books, presents this parable to business, church groups, schools, military organisations--anywhere where you find people who may fear or resist change. And although more analytical and sceptical 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, Amazon.com

Change to thrive and survive

Customer Rating:

I read this book in a few minutes whilst waiting for a customer to arrive for an off site meeting. I started it as a bit of fun and I found a metaphor I have come back to time and time again, when confronted with change issues. Success means changing - even when you reach your intial goal you need to continue to improve and change. My advice invest a little time and money in this book and get some big ideas!

Nice tale, but why buy when it's available as a free download?

This is a well thought out, if at times rather twee, analogy for change in life and how to deal with it. I'm sure the author's company does some excellent workshops & seminars based around it and his other publications, but they don't operate where I live (not in US or UK) so I looked around and was able to download a pdf of the book for free on the interweb. There are also video and audio downloads as well if you refine your search. My verdict, a useful teaching tool, especially when used in conjunction with other resources.

They've said it all before ... BUT

Who Moved My Cheese?: An Amazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life OK, so all the reviewers have dissected this little book to infinity and beyond. But its very much worth reading, and won't take you long, and might just give you that little push to get out of the rut and take a wider prespective. Ideal for people who live in prisons and want to break out (metaphorically speaking)

Entertaining Lesson.

Customer Rating:

A short story about 2 mice and 2 'little people' in a maze looking for cheese. Of course 'cheese' is just a metaphor for what you want in life (such as money, the ideal job), and 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 and writes what he has learned on the maze wall. In this way, the reader gets the main points in the book and can learn too how to deal with life's changes. A little book that is big on wisdom, many should find it entertaining and useful. Also recommended The Sixty-Second Motivator -another short story that is to the point and practical.

interesting but...

Customer Rating:

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 and 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 and Tolle's The Power of now.
