Who Moved My Cheese?

Who Moved My Cheese? is a simple parable that reveals profound truths. It is the amusing and enlightening story of four characters who live in a maze and look for cheese to nourish them and make them happy. Cheese is a metaphor for what you want to have in life, for example a good job, a loving relationship, money or possessions, health or spiritual peace of mind. The maze is where you look for what you want, perhaps the organisation you work in, or the family or community you live in. The problem is that the cheese keeps moving. In the story, the characters are faced with unexpected change in their search for the cheese. One of them eventually deals with change successfully and writes what he has learned on the maze walls for you to discover. You'll learn how to anticipate, adapt to and enjoy change and be ready to change quickly whenever you need to. Discover the secret of the writing on the wall for yourself and enjoy less stress and more success in your work and life. Written for all ages, this story takes less than an hour to read, but its unique insights will last a lifetime.

random 5min read at second hand pop up store. actually quite a good metaphor but a bit too cheesy (haha but fr)

My second time reading it. The first time I couldn’t relate. I was Haw I guess. This time around I’m in awe of the simplicity of this book and the timing of my reading this now couldn’t be more relevant. Timeless book that I’ll treasure forever.

The overall lesson gained from this was decent and valuable if you didnt know it before. But reading the first and last chapters are torture and make you wish you never brought the book. The first chapter is dull but bearable because at least you have the story to look to. The last chapter, not so bearable every page was rambling. I took me a week just to read the last chapter because I was so uninterested in it. If you do get this book I advise you please skip to the story for the sake of your sanity

It was really a gem-small and valuable. Sometimes we oursleves do not know when we are behaving like hem and not able to see our new cheese. I think everyone in any corporate company should read this book and realise which character represent them and try not to become like hem. This story easily stick to your mind.

Anticipate and embrace change. That's it.

Changes is inevitable. This opens up my mind about being too comfortable.

Who Moved My Cheese

I liked the book and the story inside the book was particularly inspiring. However, at some parts in the book it felt like the author was really stretching it. The point had already been made but the author kept repeating it in different ways and extending the book.

The One and only thing I liked Here was That question: 
What would you do if you weren't afraid?

Hussein Mahran

it's simple and effective! I'm not so into self development but I 'unexpectedly' liked it :)
the best I can quote out of it is maybe:
"it's safer to search in the maze than remain in a cheeseless situation".

Ashutosh

A beautifully written story that's fun to read and insightful at the same time. The actual summary of the book might seem cliche, but delves nicely into the practical applications in life. 
"A Must-Read"👍🤩

Madhuri Sridhara

A simple yet valuable lesson. But one that is unnecessarily drawn out.

JT Bicket

The main concept in this book can be summed up as:
Life is full of changes outside our control. Therefore, choose to see the positive, embrace change, and adapt.

The story was drawn out making me feel as though there was some revolutionary conclusion “at the end of the maze”. There wasn’t. It could have been easily summed up.

witty, insightful and sometimes downright correct. Spencer teaches you some really good management lessons using simple stories...

Słaba. Opowieść o myszach, oczywiście można ją odczytywać na kilku płaszczyznach. Prosta jak budowa cepa - myszy mają jakieś tam przygody w labiryncie, zdobywają nowe doświadczenia i na koniec rozdziału widzimy tabliczkę ze złotą radą.
Mego życia nie zmieniła mimo trafnych, choć wcale odkrywczych rad.
A wydanie naprawdę ładne - twarda okładka, piękny papier.

for teens : an a-mazing way to change and win!

I was forced to read this book by my dad, and I think that from a perspective from an actual teenager, the book title doesn't really fit the book. It seems to be a book much more fit to younger kids, maybe elementary school kids, because as a highschooler we know that we should be changing but it just isn't something that comes as easily as the book says. It also seems like something that would be helpful in the short term (see around 24 hours) and loose its meaning.

I was forced to read this book for a business class. In a nutshell - there are some mice running around a maze chasing after "cheese" that represents how people deal with change in a very simplistic manner. What is most bothersome is that the authors try to take something that can be quite complex and smush it into a tiny simplistic box. Even more irritating was the paper I had to write afterwards of which mouse I was. Well now that all depends because lets face it - I'm lactose intolerant!
