Who Moved My Cheese?
Anyone else read this book? IF so, what are your thoughts on it? Simple story really, but the concepts in the story are not so simple. I like the question, "what would you do if you weren't afraid?" Hopefully I can carry that with me the rest of my life as a way to force myself to do certain things where I am a worried about a potential bad outcome.
Anyways, please post your comments. |

Same as with most of this management/self-help stuff: It's stuff you already know, but it's always good to have a different perspective, a new going over.
The mice Hem and Haw (think that was their names, read it a couple years ago) were a little cutesy for my taste, but what the hey. Major truth in the statement that the only thing that remains the same, is change. |

Re: Who Moved My Cheese?
At my job we had this played to us (as an audio book) a few years ago. I really didn't get much out of it but that was mostly because my company's management philosophy pretty much exemplifies the opposite of all the concepts the story illustrates. Perhaps I should re-read it on my own to get a more unbiased reaction.

To Swede and Chipwrecked,
Most of it is pretty basic stuff, and it is things that I would hope we already know, either via personel experience or via teachers/parents. I just liked the stripped down approach. It didn't try to overanalyze, it just laid it all out for you. So in that regards it was nice. Short read too. |

Its a great book as I have read it as well.
Try reading "The Tipping Point" by Malcolm Gladwell. If you liked "Who Moved My Cheese" you will love this book. |

I'm sure you have read the classic of this 'pocket management' genre, "The One Minute Manager".

Re: Who Moved My Cheese?
This book was given to me by my Senior VP about a week before he and the rest of us lost our jobs.
At the time, I didn't realize he was giving me a subtle hint. I saw him about a month later and we joked about it. He said basically he'd get fired and lose his pension/severance if anyone knew we were being let go. I called him a bastard for giving me a hint I'd only get after being let go. Good times. The book itself? Just serves as a wake up call for the terminally slack. (I include myself in that category) |
