‘Who Moved My Cheese?’ is a fantastic little book to help you deal with changes in both the work environment and in life. The book’s set in a maze that represents where you spend time looking for what you want. This can be the organisation you work in, the community in which you live or the relationships that you have.
In this case, cheese is the success you want in life, whether it’s a job, a relationship or money. The story is told as a parable through the eyes of Haw, a little person, and he explains how the attitudes of Hem, Sniff and Scurry effect their successes and failures.
While disbelieving and sceptical readers may find the book a little too simple, its beauty is that it sums up everybody’s life in one of the four characters and reminds us that things change whether we resist or not. While there’s no single way to deal with change, the consequences of pretending change won’t happen are always the same – the cheese will always run out! [Review by Carla Cumbridge]
