5.0 out of 5 stars Shafer's 'Cheese' has bite!, June 3, 2003

By 

Paul Boland (San Pedro, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nobody Moved Your Cheese! (Paperback)

I just finished reading Ross Shafer's book "Nobody moved your cheese" on my flight to Alaska and I have already recommended it to several people on the plane. I am going to tell all of my friends, co-workers and even strangers, that they must read this book. It is the best Self Help/non-Self Help book you will ever read. Shafer takes on the so-called self helpers, with great wit and insight. It is a very enjoyable read!!! Now, you must excuse me. I have to go figure out my 'Plan B'. (When you read the book you will know what I mean.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny, insightful, and motivational, May 25, 2003

By 

Tom Dreesen (Studio City, Calif.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nobody Moved Your Cheese! (Paperback)

I know Ross Shafer is a very intelligent comedian who writes thought provoking, topical, and hysterical material...and then takes it to the stage and performs as well as any comedian in the business today. Why am I not surprised that he would write a book that's not only funny and insightful; but motivational.
If you feel that life knocks you on your butt every now and then, read 'Nobody Moved Your Cheese' and I promise you (like the lyrics in one of Frank Sinatra's) songs - You'll pick yourself and get back in the race.

5.0 out of 5 stars "BURGER" Loves the "CHEESE", June 30, 2003

By 

Michael Burger (Beverly Hills) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nobody Moved Your Cheese! (Paperback)

Every once in a while someone not only says what your thinking.. they have the inspiration and talent to put it in a book. In Ross Schafer's new book "Nobody Moved Your Cheese" the author not only points out the flaws in today's quick fix media soothsayers but goes one better. Every one of the well written 32 chapters, closes with a brilliant "It's All About You" fix. In this short paragraph, Shafer backs up his accusations with a solution and a resolve to the very complaint he illustrates. Anyone can slam... but clarifying and then offering a solution, puts this book on a shelf all it's own. It also shows the skill of the writer and the intelligence of the work. At 200 pages you wish Shafer could have found more paper and knocked out a Harry Potter version. It was all over too soon. Do I smell "sequel?" On a personal note, I've known Ross for many years. Not only did I not know he was such a talented writer, I quite frankly didn't know he could read. I kid....This is funny well written, informative tome, written by a funny, talented and well liked artist. If you don't love this book, I will personally call Ross and have him send you your money back. At the very least you can have my free copy.
