My eleventh book of the year was “Who Moved My Cheese?” By: Spencer Johnson, M.D. My Dad had this on his bookshelf. He said it was really good and I should read it. From the moment I read the title, I had to read it! I borrowed it a couple of weeks ago but didn’t have a chance to read it until recently because of finals. Now that I have had a chance to give it my undivided attention, I can honestly say that everyone should read this book!
Amazon Description
THE #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER WITH OVER 28 MILLION COPIES IN PRINT!
A timeless business classic, Who Moved My Cheese? uses a simple parable to reveal profound truths about dealing with change so that you can enjoy less stress and more success in your work and in your life.
It would be all so easy if you had a map to the Maze.
If the same old routines worked.
If they’d just stop moving “The Cheese.”
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 co-author 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.
My Thoughts
I’m so glad my Dad had this and encouraged me to read it. The book is about four characters in a maze. Two mice and two people the size of mice. One day they all run out of cheese. The mice notice they are running low but the people don’t see it until it’s too late. The whole rest of the book centers on how different personalities deal with change and the importance of being proactive. There are so many life lessons that are relevant to everyone such as “What would you do if you weren’t afraid?” and “When you move beyond your fear, you feel free.” Take my advice and read this small but inspiring book!
