The only difference is that the opening and closing backstory that pads out <I>Who Moved My Cheese? for Teens</I> involves a group of teenagers kibbutzing in the cafeteria, not a group of adults attending their high school reunion.<p> Of course, it's hard to argue with the essence of Johnson's commonsense message: one of the few constants in life is change, and the sooner we learn to anticipate and adjust to change, the happier we'll be. But most criticisms of the book (and there have been many) boil down to the fact that <I>Cheese</I> is just too reductive and simplistic, and sometimes change in our lives can and should be resisted. (It hasn't helped that the book's popularity among corporate managers has come to be associated with layoffs... er, cheese removals.) But whatever your take on Johnson's philosophy, you'd do well to keep it to yourself. Otherwise, you can count on your teenager to form the exact opposite opinion.
