Book Reviews of Who Moved My Cheese?: An Amazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life
Book Review: Insult to your intelligence
Summary: 1 Stars
I have never written a review on Amazon before, but this book is so insulting, I can't resist. I was forced to read this where I work, and then they made us watch the cartoon in a Manager's meeting. That anyone with any common sense doesn't realize that this was the equivalent to reading Barney or the Tele-Tubbies needs to seek help. The author got filthy rich off of your willingness to be sucked into the PC World of Corporate America. This is what they think of you folks, that they can only really get to you if they communicate at this level. Be insulted; you should be.
Terrible!

Book Review: Paradigm Changer!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am CEO of the fastest growing company in my industry. I discovered this jewel at a time when I was stuck in a paradigm that no longer worked.
Who Moved My Cheese got me unstuck.
I don't know why so many people rated it one star. Ho hum. Let em die cheeseless. As for me and my house, we're having a feast.
Only one inaccuracy in the book: its title. No one should be worrying about WHO moved the cheese. Gotta get out and find it. A better title: Where is the Cheese?
Book Review: The most stupid book I have ever read.
Summary: 1 Stars
This book is just a JOKE. The fact that so many people think it's "life changing" shows the intelligence level of the average person (moron) out there. It is a stupid little kids story that takes about 10 minutes to read. The book tells a story about two "little people" and some mice in a maze and how they adapt when their supply of cheese runs out and how one little person goes looking for new cheese supplies and the other one sits there moping about the fact there is no cheese left and wishing everything would return to normal and blah blah blah...............you've heard enough of this drivel.
The book uses this stupid juvenile story to illustrate the facts that:
* Change occurs.
* You must adapt and sometimes embrace change rather than fight it.
* You must prepare in advance for change.
This book is a waste of time and is actually an insult to the average persons intelligence. Avoid at ALL costs. For those that think this book is life changing, you need to seek help, NOW.
Book Review: Worthless
Summary: 1 Stars
I won't hash all that other previous reviewers who also gave it 1 star have already said. I can not believe this book was all the rage in big companies and they had employee programs based on this book! Somebody needed to yell that the emporer had no clothes!!!!Book Review: Are You a Man or a Mouse?
Summary: 4 Stars
Sometimes, simple examples, using animals help us to see things more clearly about ourselves. Such is the case with this story told of 4 "mice" who constantly yearn for their "cheese". It is very easy to see the parallels with regard to our own lives and how we deal with the obstacles set before us. Even more telling is the illustration of the different ways we, as humans, deal with change. This book is a fast read, probably less than an hour, and will stimulate your thinking for a long time after. Like me, you will immediately want to share it with someone you care about.
