Default Who Moved My Cheese

I just finished reading, "Who Moved My Cheese", by Spencer Johnson. M.D. It takes about one hour to read.

A fascinating little book that talks about change and chesse is an euphemism for what one wants out of life.

Has anyone else read this book? It has been out for a while.

Years ago, when I was still working, a portion of a national meeting was devoted to "Who Moved My Cheese?". Dr. Johnson was the moderator etc. It was an interesting session. Since I was due to retire soon, I didn't finish the book. Your thread has motivated me to dig it out and read it.....

I read it several years ago when I worked doing HR training sessions. Good principles to apply to any part of life.

Read it a few times over the years! Also had my kids read it! Definitely should be required reading in high school maybe even middle school! My daughter would liked to have read it long before she did when she was a junior in college.

I hope you enjoyed it.

This was required reading for my workplace. We all need to learn to adapt to and accept different concepts in life. I may have to use that link and re-read!

I read it and read it again. The concept of how to embrace and accept change is amazing.
Great book for short reading.

Thank you for providing this link. My son is going through a very difficult time right now in his career and I think this little book will be a great help to him.
