Most instructors make a syllabus available at least 3 weeks before a semester starts. For whatever reason my instructor uploaded the wrong syllabus, the first day of class we spent more time re-writing her corrections. It was at that time that the whole class discovered that we had a quiz on 2 chapters in 1 week (even the ISBN # was wrong). Needless to say, I know I was not the only feeling pressure when we left class. My instructor suggested this book, I came home and found this GREAT DEAL and a delivery date that fit my needs, with a day or so left over to have sometime off after writing a 10pg book report on it, according to the delivery options. Well, beyond my expectations, the book arrived today !!!! Not only is this a surprise, it is a relief and I get an additional few days off, for a total of 5 days. I mean what college student would pass that up ??? I am going to email all my classmates and let them know, how efficient you are. This is amazing, honestly !!! Thank you bunches !!!!

This is a second time I have read this book. The content is all there but the presentation is drab compared to the original book. The discussion and story about the how it came about and then the views of the peanut gallery in at end of the book were not part of the original book I remembered. It is all interesting but the story is what I was mostly interested in to share with another person who has had several times her cheese has been moved. I hope she will get the point of the book. The cover is drab, the pictures are too even though they are the correct pictures Presentation is what begins the sell of many things. How the book looks at first glance is for some a deciding factor to purchase an item..

I had heard a lot about this book. Never ever got to read it. Recently I got hold of one copy from HR in our company. I read it on a plane journey. The concept is pretty simple but what is important is author has tried to spell it out in a very interesting fashion. Author uses mice respresenting simple straight thinking and mice like people representing complex thinking. Author's idea of 'Keeping things simple in order to make our lives much comfortable' is so very true. Beginning of the book is nice and intriguing. I wouldn't be surprised if the reader gets bored in the middle of the book. Some times author is trying to emphasize a point over and over again. This can be really boring for some people. Nevertheless the objective of empasis seems to be justified as you reach the end of the book. Overall it was interesting light reading with some inspiration and new outlook towards looking at things in life. Its a really small book, if you like reading somethign light, its worth reading once. I surely say that the central idea may or may not apply for individual's situation.Read full review
The books start with a group of friend meeting up after their high school reunion, and on of the friends start telling a story, Who moved my cheese??? It is a story about two little mise and two little man looking for a cheese in a maze .The cheese in the story is a symbol for everything we treasure in life ... The cheese can be our job,our relationship,or everything else thats important to us ,When the cheese in the book runs out each and every character deals differently with the situation , As you continue reading the book you will find yourself relating to the character and notice the way you react to the changes that occurs in your life The fear of unknown, the fear of failed and how we let fear control our life, and that sometime we rather stay in our comfort zone instead of dealing with the changes. This book is about how we adapt the changes in our life. and how we can create new possibilities when the change accurs. Who moved my cheese??is a great book for dealing with everyday changes. The story teach us how to imburse the change ,and it how to let go of old ideas and habits and embracing new ones.Read full review
This parable featuring two mice named Sniff and Scurry and two people named Hem and Haw attempts to address the subject of change and characterize the pros and cons of different approaches to change. Sound simple ? It is. This could be a kid’s book written in 15 point font and still not make 15 pages. How and why the author managed to generate enough verbiage to fill an entire book, let alone make a fortune as a bestseller, is beyond me. Seriously, this is kindergarten 101 stuff. Things change. You can react or not react. You can react slowly or quickly. You can be flexible or inflexible. You can embrace change or fear and avoid change. Are you bored reading this review ? Think how bored you will be reading the book. Why would you ever buy this book ? There are plane rides that are too short to get really drunk on. There are conversations with your mother-in-law that could potentially be avoided. Maybe youre actually dealing with a major change in your life, aren’t sure how to deal with it, and need a framework to think about your options. These are all good reasons to buy the book and given the money ($5) and time (1h 25m) you’ll need to invest to read the book, it seems like a small price to pay. My big take away from this book is that I need to change professions and become a self-help writer recycling childhood life lessons in the form of parables that sit in the business section of the bookstore.Read full review
