But things keep changing…
Most people are fearful of change, both personal and professional, because they don’t have any control over how or when it happens to them. Since change happens either to the individual or by the individual, Dr. Spencer Johnson, the coauthor of the multimillion bestseller The One Minute Manager, uses a deceptively simple story to show that when it comes to living in a rapidly changing world, what matters most is your attitude.
Exploring a simple way to take the fear and anxiety out of managing the future, Who Moved My Cheese? can help you discover how to anticipate, acknowledge, and accept change in order to have a positive impact on your job, your relationships, and every aspect of your life.

A former employer gave this to everyone in the office, so I felt obligated to read it. It was years ago, but I don’t remember learning anything earth-shaking from reading it. Then again, it felt a little like most self-help books that I used to devour many years ago.
I read this book some years ago during a time when I was laid off from a 28 year job and was completely out of sorts. It was a short read and it gave me insite to being out of my work comfort zone
Maybe in 1998, when the book was published, the idea that change can be a blessing or a curse, was newer or a bigger revelation. However, in 2018, after people worldwide lived through the Great Recession this book offers absolutely no new insights, at all. Most aggravating is the introduction which the author uses to praise his own work.
The story itself is also aggravating. “Change can be a blessing or a curse.” There you have it, that’s the story. The End.
Spencer Johnson and Kenneth Blanchard construct their story of the mice and the little people whose cheese was moved around the concept of change. It’s not even an entertaining story. Having taught high school I can vouch for that at least 10% of high schoolers could come up with a more creative and better story.
My go-to all time favorite to give to somebody who is struggling with a life changing situation. Well done, Spencer!
A quick book about change.
Obnoxiously oversimplified. A waste of time.
