Take a simple idea, put it into a parable and print the book for all. This is the premise behind Who Moved My Cheese?

For the book to mean anything, the reader has to be honest with themselves as to how they see their own personalities fitting in with one or more of the four characters in the story, and how they adapt – or don’t adapt – to inevitable change.
In the 21st Century corporations who do not change with a changing situation will soon be outpaced by the adaptable organizations who see the advantage of strategic change and are always on the outlook for newer, better, and more economical means to succeed.
In personal relationships, those who are not continually aware of the growth of themselves and their partner, and who do not renegotiate their relationship on a regular basis, are doomed to face problems. Considering the divorce rate this seems to be a problem already, especially when couples are citing irreconcilable differences as grounds for dissolving a relationship.

The cheese is just a metaphor for something we value such as a job, or a relationship, and when that concept of value changes, how do you deal with it? Do you take advanced notice of changes and take preventative measures to ensure continuity in some form or do you hold on to ‘the cheese’ until there is nothing left to save?

The book contains examples told in narrative form about people discussing the concept of change and how they managed, or did not manage the impact of the changes, and how they were going to rectify the situation.
The book itself can be read in about 30 minutes, but the life lessons that endure could change perceptions and attitudes for a lifetime.

A MUST read for anybody undergoing a life change or is seeing the handwriting on the wall that their current corporate or personal situation may be changing.

Who Moved My Cheese?: An Amazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life Specifications

Change can be a blessing or a curse, depending on your perspective. The message of Who Moved My Cheese? is that all can come to see it as a blessing, if they understand the nature of cheese and the role it plays in their lives. Who Moved My Cheese? is a parable that takes place in a maze. Four beings live in that maze: Sniff and Scurry are mice–nonanalytical and nonjudgmental, they just want cheese and are willing to do whatever it takes to get it. Hem and Haw are “littlepeople,” mouse-size humans who have an entirely different relationship with cheese. It’s not just sustenance to them; it’s their self-image. Their lives and belief systems are built around the cheese they’ve found. Most of us reading the story will see the cheese as something related to our livelihoods–our jobs, our career paths, the industries we work in–although it can stand for anything, from health to relationships. The point of the story is that we have to be alert to changes in the cheese, and be prepared to go running off in search of new sources of cheese when the cheese we have runs out.

Dr. Johnson, coauthor of The One Minute Manager and many other books, presents this parable to business, church groups, schools, military organizations–anyplace where you find people who may fear or resist change. And although more analytical and skeptical readers may find the tale a little too simplistic, its beauty is that it sums up all natural history in just 94 pages: Things change. They always have changed and always will change. And while there’s no single way to deal with change, the consequence of pretending change won’t happen is always the same: The cheese runs out. –Lou Schuler
