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.

One of the first books I read about leadership and team work that was different than anything else. An instant classic.
Personally I didn’t care for this book. Everyone already knows things change. Sometimes for better. Sometimes for worse. I had an employer who made us read this. I didn’t need this story to point out the obvious! (yes, can you tell I’m a little bitter about wasting my time on it)
It was required reading, but love this book. The beat part of it was I had already learned this lesson.
Do yourself a favor and devour “Who Moved My Cheese.” This is easy, quick read uses an entertaining twist to teach a simpler way to anticipate undercurrent developments (i.e. the proverbial “writing on the wall”) too often overlooked while swimming upstream in the day to day work grind.
“Who Moved My Cheese” easily illustrates how to be more alert for any “cheese changes” in workforce direction in this world of ever quickening “new normal’s”. Whether a person is an officer, mid-level management, or a check-out clerk or grocery sacker… Better anticipate subtle developments in the workplace and be better prepared.
A Staple Read
Easy to read
A timeless classic on change, how others react to change. How do you see yourself reacting to change? How do others perceive you? Change is inevitable, we control how we react to Change.
This book taught me about how to prepare for change by checking for change often so that you will not get comfortable.
Very easy to read, but with a powerful message.
EXCELLENT BOOK & A MUST READ FOR EVERYONE!

A must ready for everyone who goes throughchanges
A very humorous presentation on how the deal with life changes whether personal or job related.
We received this book when they were closing our office and sending it overseas. Great
The basic concept of adjusting and adapting is good. It isn’t revolutionary but has a catch phrase that conveys a good idea in a few words. Not quite as big as all the hype and much longer than it needs to be even though it is a short book
5 minute story turned into a book. Wish I’d thought to charge people for such a simple silly thing.
Simple, easy to read book that can be applied to every day life. A great book to teach about people, principles, business, etc.
Excellent book for gaining a new perspective on the inevitable changes that come in life, whether it be on the job, in personal relationships, or in any area of life. Transitions can be overwhelming, but the story the book is built around helps bring sanity back into focus (speaking for myself as I’m undergoing a huge life and work transition as I’m reading the book). Our misplaced fear can get us stuck when the very things we need in order to thrive are out there and accessible for us to discover, and though it might be scarey at first, going out and finding them is much easier and less stressful than trying to hold on to what’s gone — or what’s not working any more. The common sense and clarity of the analogy is helpful to reflect on when fears or resistance start to set in. Flexibility and overcoming fear are key ingredients to finding new and fresh “cheese”.
This book extols the value of change. It makes a lot of sense. You need to change to move forward in your life, and in your work. I bought this at my local Walmart, in hard back, for sixteen bucks. It took no more than an hour to read. But what I took from it was how some people, in some of the companies I’ve worked in, change things simply to show they have a job, to prove they have a reason to be there, to be paid for their time. And copious amounts of change usually means the person changing the rules doesn’t have enough to do. Change is good, and it is good to know where else to get your cheese, or your money, if you please. But it mostly served to remind me, even to this day, that some changes have no good reasoning behind it at all.
