Excellent Motivational book
|
|
Very easy read. Simple story but very parctical and applicable to our daily lives. Can prove to be useful for anyone dealing with any kind of a change...be it academic, job related, relationships....can apply it to anything.

My boss made me read it...

Overall, this aweful little piece of mindless literature is clearly a tool of corporate America and has obviously spread like a brainwashing cancer through the system.
Do yourself a favour:
-If you are being told to read this by an employer, make sure you don't have to buy it yourself and even then only pretend to read it.
-If you are in management, you are clearly trying to tell your employees to shut up and do what you say. This is going to lead to a revolt...idiot.
In short, if you feel like reading useful material about cheese, buy a cookbook. If you want to waste an hour of your life and feel less intelligent as a result, this is the book for you.

More Moving Than Cheesy
|
The reviews of this book seem to be split right down the middle. I side with the multiple-star reviewers. Yes, this is a simplistic book, but it is deceptively simple. And when you actually practice the principles that are described in this parable -- accepting what is, taking appropriate action, and thinking positively -- your life can change for the better in a profound manner. I have often been told that my own book is the spiritual side of this same story. Well, now that I have read Who Moved My Cheese?, and I like it, Im going to take that as a compliment!

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 too how to deal with life's changes.
A little book that is big on wisdom, many should find it entertaining and useful. Also recommended The Sixty-Second Motivator -another short story that is to the point and practical.

start a discussion on change
|
|
Written with the fable of two mice; I have used this book to start the discussion on change and resistance to change. Which mouse do you most closely identify with and why? The book is a quick easy read, and provides some insight into behavior that we all identify as the other guys, not our own. Worth the money spent.
