Who Moved My Cheese? is a simple parable that reveals profound truths about change. It is an amusing and enlightening story of four characters who live in a "Maze" and look for "Cheese" to nourish them and make them happy.

Two are mice named Sniff and Scurry. And two are "little people" -- beings the size of mice who look and act a lot like people. Their names are Hem and Haw.

"Cheese" is a metaphor for what you want to have in life -- whether it is a good job, a loving relationship, money, a possession, health, or spiritual peace of mind.

And "The Maze" is where you look for what you want -- the organization you work in, or the family or community you live in.

In the story, the characters are faced with unexpected change. Eventually, one of them deals with it successfully, and writes what he has learned from his experience on the maze walls.

When you come to see "The Handwriting on the Wall," you can discover for yourself how to deal with change, so that you can enjoy less stress and more success (however you define it) in your work and in your life.

Written for all ages, the story takes less than an hour to listen to, but its unique insights can last for a lifetime.

The parable as a blank canvas

Who Moved My Cheese is a classic that uses a story without the burden of extra detail to force you to put your own life into the situation, and learn from it. It's true that this method isn't for everyone, but the book is popular for a reason: it helps people.

Who Moved My Cheese has that special something that most fables lack. It makes you think. The only other fable I've seen accomplish this in the last decade is Squawk!: How to Stop Making Noise and Start Getting Results.


The Mystery of Change

As a corporate director of human resources, it is a good day when I find a book that can actually be put to good use in our managerial training. This is one of those books. In fact, it is one of the rare books that weeks and months after using, I still find that managers refer to "cheese" when dealing with change management problems and solutions.

While change certainly means different things to different people, the basic underlying theme is the same. The world as we know it will cease to exist and how will you respond.

I find that the really good management books will usually use a story or parable in getting the point across. This is far superior to dry, straight away lecture. The stories make visual connections and these stick with adults. I highly recommend this book for anyone in management. Whether first line supervisor or CEO.

Skeptic Impressed

I was required to read this book for a college class. One of my classmates and I were skeptical of how this book could be of any help, since it is not the scientific literature we're used to reading. I was pleasantly surprised. The simplicity of the story allows the reader to easily apply the information to his/her-self and quickly realize some possible bad habits.

I will surely be able to apply the lessons in this small book to my professional career as a personal trainer and co-owner of L.E.A.N. Wellness Center in Mesa, AZ.
