Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk 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, non-analytical and non-judgmental; they just want cheese and are willing to do whatever it takes to get it. Hem and Haw are "little people", 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, 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - They've said it all before ... BUTWho 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) Rating:  - Entertaining Lesson.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 ... Read More: Rating: - interesting but...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 ... Read More: Rating: - Cheese - Intriguing MetaphorCheese - 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 and Scurry were sophisticated enough to get new Cheese. On the other hand, 2 Littlepeople, Hem and Haw got agitated because the Cheese ... Read More: Rating:  - The sickness of our timeTo reduce philosophy and literature to pieces of garbage is the main characteristic of our time, a dark age in belief. Absolute individualism, freedom, egocentricism are destroying the Western society have already show serious signs of all kinds of sickness. And this book and 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 ...
