mice w/ teeny tennis shoes.
You can read this book in about 45 minutes, but it will feel like a week. I think that I would have enjoyed the Spanish version better. I don't speak Spanish.
I don't know whether the authors of this book have an employer, but if they do, I would recommend a "random" drug test.
This book is about a team of two mice and a team of two minature exectives who each slide into a pair of size 0.005 sneakers and run through a maze in search of cheese. All goes well--until...more

This is a book about victimized lower and middle class mice trapped in a corporate capitalist maze, forced by The Man to scurry around, looking for "The Cheese" (salary, 401K, maybe even decent PPO or HMO). Then The Man (maybe Boeing, maybe American Airlines, maybe Monsanto--whoever) MOVES THE CHEESE because it interferes with his quarterly earnings reports or THE CHEESE will be more cost effective if it is shipped to China or Rwanda where labor is cheaper. So what are the mice suppose...more

anyone who can't find his/her own ass using both hands & a flashlight.
SPOILER ALERT! I am going to save anyone who thinks they need to read this book time & money by summarizing the entire book in the next two sentences: Things change. Learn to adapt.
You're welcome. If you still feel the need to spend money please contact me & I will tell you where to send it.

When I saw a hot hispanic girl reading this book I used it as a conversation starter.
"What are you reading?"
She opened up and told me it was the best book she had read in a long time and it really helped her in her social, professional, and her family lives. In order to impress her with my devotion I took down her phone number and immediately read the thing to secure a successful conversation on our upcoming date.

Silly little self promoting book. First third is a bunch of people sitting around talking about this new silver-bullet omniscient business book that changed their lives.
Middle third is this fairy tale that I can sum up in five (5) words: SHIT HAPPENS, GET OVER IT.
And finally the most insulting part is the last third where that group of high-potential future cult followers reassembles and discusses this epiphany of a book that they have read and they all agree to buy c...more

This book reminds me of an old Groucho Marx routine: Patient: Doctor, I get a stabbing pain in my eye every time I take a drink of tea. What should I do? Doctor: Take the spoon out of the cup. [rim-shot]. Sadly, the lack of ability to see the obvious is pandemic in the corporate world, so I am not at all surprised that this restatement of the obvious was such a major hit in the business world. Not that I am cynical after my life as a corporate prisoner, but my observation is that there really...more

...Reading this book is like sitting through one of those stupid motivational speeches. It was obviously written as such, and then a loose "story" was thrown over top of the content to make it into a book. I mean, there are points, where you can actually visualize a person showing the power point slides with one of the sayings in the book written on it, trying to pump up the crowd by saying it with force, and the crowd clapping...

I'm giving it 2 stars simply because it's mildly amusing. Makes interesting points but these are not things that any grown person hasn't already figured out. I think this would be better suited for a high school student for the purpose of preparing to go out into the real world some day. It could give them a little forward look and maybe it would even help them realize that every little thing is not the end of the world. Tomorrow will come. Remember whenyou were 14 or 15. Everything was the ...more

THis book is a contestor for the most STUPID BOOK award. If you are a person who believes that little teeny people who are content to eat cheese, and are outsmarted with ease by mice,who realize they must look for more cheese sources from time to time-can give YOU advice- then you STILL shouldnt read this book,because its STILL absurd advice to problems no one has, written so badly that it will become the new definition of a bad, HORRID book. Unless you have a friend to read with so you can lAUG...more

For years I have managed to avoid reading the popular book Who Moved My Cheese? However, it was recently recommended to me because I mentioned that I'm not especially enthusiastic about change.
I wish I could un-read this book. I thought it was overly simplistic and rather insulting to any intelligent person. This book contains such clever little proverbs as "He was happy when he wasn't being run by his fears" (in other words, just stop being afraid, and you'll be happy)....more

someone who is willing to look at themselves and decide how they feel about change
When my boss first gave me this book to read, I was definately in place where I had no interest in even knowing what my attitude was towards change. After taking an hour to read the book, I found it to be ridiculous and that it didn't apply to me at all -- "I had always been an advocate for change, what the hell was my boss trying to tell me?"

its author, to be read forever and ever in Hell
It requires a unique sort of demonic skill to take the utterly obvious, lather it with sentimentality, turn it into an animal story, give it a big font and wide margins so that what really ought to be a pamphlet handed out for free on subways becomes instead a "book," and then expect businesspeople to buy it.
Which they did. God help us all.

Is there a more asinine book on the planet? I'd be hard pressed to find it. That is was a bestseller speaks volumes to the apalling lack of real education in America today. I am fairly certain that they force you to read this book in hell... oh, wait I'm confusing eternal damnation with my office. Sorry.

I wouldn't wish this piece of garbage on my worst enemy
I still cringe at this title, as it reminds me of my days trapped in that soul-crushing hellhole known as Corporate America. This was required reading and discussion by our management who were convinced that moving our office 3 miles south was going to thoroughly traumatize us all. Actually, some were thrilled with the move, because we were in a much nicer building with a cafeteria and gym, and the rest didn't give a flying crap. But, as most people know, management, and their tender egos really...more

I came into work and there was a book on my desk from someone who shall remain anonymous.
I read the book in about an hour. It is a simple parable meant to help people.
The basic premise of the book is that change happens and you just have to deal with it. If you don't deal with it, you are going to be unhappy, unproductive and you are going to get cut from your job.
There are four characters. The characters are stuck in a maze. There is cheese in various parts ...more

professional-y types
So I got this strange little self-help-y looking book from my friend Alexs from work (on my boss's recommendation as well). Following the jacket ads, yes, it DID only take about an hour of my time to read; no, it DIDN'T change my life completely. But it's a good book to read to find out what kind of person you are in the face of change, if you already know.
I've determined that for work/every day stuff, I'm a Scurry. I don't readily sniff out change before it happens, but once it d...more

Everyone at work was given a copy of this book. It took about half an hour to read, and I definitely understand why our company saw fit to give everyone a copy of this book in hopes that they would read it.
It's all a metaphor for change and dealing with change, and the points it makes are good ones and true to boot. It just wasn't written terribly well. The intro and outro sounded like a jr. high school student wrote them. I guess the whole thing did, really, but because the story i...more
