Review – Who Moved My Cheese by Dr Spencer Johnson
Who Moved My Cheese by Dr Spencer Johnson is a great read that has a look at how different people go after what they want in life and deal with the disappointment or happiness of attaining it.
The book is a light read and easily be dealt and finished within 2 or 3 days. With a premise and explanation before hand – then the story itself and then a reflection and theory section. Johnson presents what we all want in life, whether that be success, happiness, a family etc and calls it ‘cheese’. It then takes four characters – 2 mice – Sniff and Scurry and two ‘little people’ called Hem and Haw.
When looking around at reviews of this book, you will see that many either love or hate it. I am the former. The book, lets us watch how these 4 characters deal with change and unease as they look for their ‘cheese’ after it is moved. With prompt points and an underlying serious message, Who Moved My Cheese is a great motivation tool. You will notice how you examine many of the traits the characters are showing and notice the effect they have on the journey for ‘cheese’
I found the title, thought provoking and would recommend it to anybody who wants to look at, understand or appreciate how people deal, respond and behave in relation to change.
