I read this book twice. The first time I read it, it changed some of my perspectives. I felt that I am like Hem, a character in the book. Hem always complains about everything but never do anything to try and change the situation. I think I am Ham the second time I read the book.

Found it full of patronizing pap and pizzle. Offers few tips for managing change. Mostly tells you to get over it.

For those who are not familiar with the book, "Who Moved My Cheese?" is a simple parable that illustrates the natural tendency to resist change. The uncertainty that generally accompanies change in the workplace provides a level of discomfort that some try to escape. Rather than take the necessary steps for change, some employees cling to old notions and actions that produce little or no results.

Of course, it has been known for decades that people tend to avoid tasks that cause physical, mental, or emotional discomfort. Why it takes a simple little story about mice and cheese for some people to understand this is beyond me. Perhaps it provides a non-threatening, feel-good reminder of what we already know about ourselves?

The problem I see with "Who Moved My Cheese?" is not the message, but the difficulty in reducing such a simple little concept into practice. Knowing that we need to "search around the maze for new cheese" is equivalent to the stock market wizards telling us to buy low and sell high, or business experts telling us that we need to possess organizational savvy to be successful. These are things we all nod our heads in agreement with . . . but then what? We are left without any guidelines for determining when we are "moving around the maze" or simply "sitting at the cheese station."

Reading "Who Moved My Cheese?" is like signing up for the membership at the health club. It sure feels good, and it can be the start to something better, but the real work is yet to come. Read the book. Ponder its contents. But expect some discomfort if you really want to make progress.

While the message in this book would seem obvious, not everyone takes away the same "lessons". My wife, for instance, insists that it is better to enjoy your cheese while it lasts rather than looking for new cheese all the time.

Someone else has created entire website around this subject and insists that you should resist when someone moves the cheese.

An insipid book to give to an incompetent employee before laying off.

Read this enlighted book. its so great and a very informative story. It will be a few minutes of your time to read this book.
