 Paradigm Changer!!! February 24, 2008

I am CEO of the fastest growing company in my industry. I discovered this jewel at a time when I was stuck in a paradigm that no longer worked.
Who Moved My Cheese got me unstuck.
I don't know why so many people rated it one star. Ho hum. Let em die cheeseless. As for me and my house, we're having a feast.
Only one inaccuracy in the book: its title. No one should be worrying about WHO moved the cheese. Gotta get out and find it. A better title: Where is the Cheese?
 The most stupid book I have ever read. February 16, 2008

This book is just a JOKE. The fact that so many people think it's "life changing" shows the intelligence level of the average person (moron) out there. It is a stupid little kids story that takes about 10 minutes to read. The book tells a story about two "little people" and some mice in a maze and how they adapt when their supply of cheese runs out and how one little person goes looking for new cheese supplies and the other one sits there moping about the fact there is no cheese left and wishing everything would return to normal and blah blah blah...............you've heard enough of this drivel.
The book uses this stupid juvenile story to illustrate the facts that:
* Change occurs.
* You must adapt and sometimes embrace change rather than fight it.
* You must prepare in advance for change.
This book is a waste of time and is actually an insult to the average persons intelligence. Avoid at ALL costs. For those that think this book is life changing, you need to seek help, NOW.

I won't hash all that other previous reviewers who also gave it 1 star have already said. I can not believe this book was all the rage in big companies and they had employee programs based on this book! Somebody needed to yell that the emporer had no clothes!!!!

Sometimes, simple examples, using animals help us to see things more clearly about ourselves. Such is the case with this story told of 4 "mice" who constantly yearn for their "cheese". It is very easy to see the parallels with regard to our own lives and how we deal with the obstacles set before us. Even more telling is the illustration of the different ways we, as humans, deal with change. This book is a fast read, probably less than an hour, and will stimulate your thinking for a long time after. Like me, you will immediately want to share it with someone you care about.
 Amusing interpretations! February 1, 2008

I'm laughing as I read the reviews for this book. The intrepretations pretty much cover the gamut. I see not where some get the impression this book poses an image of the giant corporate pressing thumb telling you to get used to change or die. I enjoyed the book somewhat although I agree it's everything we, who are of at least average intelligence, already knew and ponder on a daily basis. The best message for me in this book is something I've been hammering into my brain endlessly for the past few years, so far, with no results. The line reads, "We keep doing the same things over and over again and wonder why things don't get better." We all need to absorb that.The second most powerfull message in this reading to me is to pay attention to what's going on around you. Some of us are blind to the inevitable.
Cheers,
Phil Vanderloo
