Who Moved My Cheese (L): An Amazing Way to Deal With Change In Your Work and In Your Life Paperback – 1 January 1999

I came across this book on amazon 5 days ago and read the review that it is a great book and everyone should give it a try. After reading it in 1 hour, I love the book which divide people into 4 groups, 2 of them ( Sniff and Scurry in this book ) are simple minded, don't make things complex and are ready to move on, the mext one (Haw character in this book) with a complex brain and thinging who are feared to change but later then change and overcome their fear but some time has passed then later they thibk it as like 'late than never' then last type of people are (Hem in this book) with a complex brain and who love to live in the comfort zone, don't want to change and are so much feared that they also discourse the circle of people they are in. They don't notice that time changes and just want to live in their comfort zone.I now learned from this great story that first sense the change and prepare yourself before time to move on, the chances are you often get a great part of life ahead (keep in mind that your cheese or dream you have will be moved several times in life) and if you don't get a great life the time is still there as you changed before like sniff and Scurry in the story.It is a great story whom I will recommend to everyone to give ot a try this will be with you for whole life.

What a wonderful book. I have finished reading in an hour. Truly inspiring us through a very simple story. An amazing piece everybody should read.

Honestly loved the book and the message it had to deliver. But I'm more of a collector when it comes to books. I like having them in the best possible condition. It was not as per the standard as per the paperback quality. The cover looked original but the pages inside had a bad quality paper. Something you get from the streets or the hawkers on red lights. Where the pages are of poor quality hence makes sense for them to be worth 50-100 rupees.I don't why the printing wasn't as it should be. Had the quality been good this would've been a seamless experience.Anyhow, a fantastic book to read.

Very good packing and quality of books

Story has moved me.I m happy to review & recommend this book to read.Author has painted this story by using d same brush which was used for Rabbit & Tortoise story, but this one has many colours, some merging into another & some contrast to each other. Maintained simplicity though to show big picture.Michael is sharing this story to his few classmates after lunch, having attended their highschool reunion d night before.Qualities, behaviours r characters & how our emotions & beliefs can make impact on our decisions while reacting to changes & being afraid of changes & more importantly denial of d same r explained very well.Haw's journey to find new cheese, when d existing pile of cheese vanishes from the section, teaches us to grow & shine even in d failures. He keeps on writing on d wall about his past & present experiences during his search in d maze of labyrinth for new cheese.Story starts with d search of daily cheese with 2 mice following KISS (Keep It Simple & Straight) strategy with their natural instinct & ability (merging colours) & 2 little people with their brain capability (contrast to each other). They keeps on getting their cheese everyday after searching it thoroughly in d maze.One day they found a section of abundant cheese & noticed that every morning new cheese is also being kept there by someone unknown.Yes, then little people (Hem & Haw) decides to move their home permanently there. Author describes d feeling of security, arrogance of richness in d minds of little people (Hem & Haw) & unchanged behaviour of 2 mices (Sniff & Scurry).One day due to not paying attention to d small changes that had been taking place each day, unprepared for what they found is No cheese at their section & Hem shouting loudly “Who moved my cheese?”. Before that, Mice group following their natural instinct had left d spot in search of new cheese, without reacting on no cheese at that section. Eventually after their efforts, Mices found what they had been looking for: fresh & new cheese section which is bigger & with lots of variety of cheese.Hem & Haw out of stock & hungry, spent so many days in waiting to get cheese some day there itself. Haw decides to move on, but failed to convince Hem, he leaves Hem by writing down on d wall for Hem, “If u do not change u can become extinct” speaks a lot.Hem's old beliefs of following old path even after continuous failure & then Haw's weakness in search of cheese due to time spent at old section. He comes to know that may be ‘he thought MORE about what could go wrong than what could go right’, this needs to be read carefully with word MORE in it.Haw after finding traces of new cheese station, decides to go back to see if Hem is there in old section & ready to join. But Hem wanted to have his old cheese only & not ready to even taste it. Haw had to return to d new cheese station leaving Hem alone & he settled down at new cheese station with alertness to surroundings this time.Well, what happened to hem ? Story ends, where Haw listens some sound. Then author opens door for readers & listeners of d story for fruitful discussion. The discussion is explained separately, which is actually main part to read now. Actually writer has given liberty to readers & listeners through discussion & Re-View. As far as Hem's part, some say those people will not change, some say he might HV changed. As far as my experience with Hems. There r 2 types of such Hems I HV faced so far. One types of HV thinking ‘not to fix until it breaks down completely’ & other types of, wants to be saved by God directly & solution sold occur miraculously. For me story never ends even if Hem decides to change with d situation & returns to Haw, point is that will Hem literally learns & become vigilant to change even then, just like Haw has became even after findingnew cheese section.Well, I will keep on trying for Hem, if I HV special feelings in my heart for Hem, at least until, there is agreemental reflection of friendship in d behaviour of Hem. my brain might do calculations of staying away from Hem, but my heart will always put me back behind Hem, knowing no one is there to take care of Hem. But Author had to do justice with d natural flow of story to show Haw trying twice & then eventually leaving Hem to make him realize & then change on his own.The discussion that happens between friends after d story, speaks more ways about change at every level, should read that to understand what change means.I want to give solid 5 gold star rating. & This story will definitely help me in my new year resolution.

Thanks to Dr Jensen for this incredibly written book. The lessons learnt were phenomenal especially laughing at your mistakes often. It's a small book, hence it commands a greater mass appeal for sure

It was indeed a short and fun read, it imposes a clear picture of taking risk, comfort zone and basically a dod and don'ts

We shall be quick to accept changes occurring around us.Very very simple and eye opening book.Great to read us a good book.
