A timeless business classic, Who Moved My Cheese?  uses a simple parable to reveal profound truths about dealing with change so that you can enjoy less stress and more success in your work and in your life. It would be all so easy if you had a map to the Maze. If the same old routines worked. If they'd just stop moving "The Cheese." But things keep changing... Most people are fearful of change, both personal and professional, because they don't have any control over how or when it happens to them. Since change happens either to the individual or by the individual, Dr. Spencer Johnson, the coauthor of the multimillion bestseller The One Minute Manager,  uses a deceptively simple story to show that when it comes to living in a rapidly changing world, what matters most is your attitude. Exploring a simple way to take the fear and anxiety out of managing the future, Who Moved My Cheese? can help you discover how to anticipate, acknowledge, and accept change in order to have a positive impact on your job, your relationships, and every aspect of your life.

REVIEW

Lessons that can be applied to work, love or any aspect of our lives we need to improve in order to have a healthy life; and all this without lecturing the reader. The author doesn't see lack of success as a sin, but as a stage from which we can learn and we can be strong to surpass and get the thrilling emotion to run and get into adventures, but not mindlessly as hard work is not necessarily productivity. And then when success is mentioned there is a caution about being too comfortable in it and not being ready to flow with the changes and be afraid of not having a youthful vision of ourselves. There is much that could be labeled as common sense but until reading this book, and a couple of other books, I couldn't place their importance in the way I do things. Being honest with oneself and acknowledge in what we are good and what actually hinders our goals was also quite an impactful version. I am more enthusiastic about the issues I face in my creative work and my customers are also more enthusiastic to have and pay for my services. I am still working in getting to achieve my goals and I sincerely recommend that this book should be in your basic personal library. Even if it is not understood by, let's say, children at home, the story is quite engaging. If there is somebody that wouldn't like this book though, I think persons that like a direct approach to explain and not much of parables. Maybe not for Hems : D
