Flexibility is one key to life's success - By: Susan Donlon, 10 Apr 2008 
As a Bear Stearn's employee the timing of my reading this simple yet profound book could not have been better. If you are not aware of current financial news, Bear Stearns, a private investment bank was recently purchased by JPMorgan Chase & at this time is going through a merger of both of their businesses. It's a time of uncertainty for many folks working at Bear as well as at Chase. In reading this book, what I appreciate most are the ideas that come through the simple story of two mice & two humans in relation to their attitudes & actions for & against changes that come about in their environment. It's a refreshing & inspiring story that can have positive life altering effects. I can honestly say even in this challlenging environment I have found myself to be centered & focused on my work at hand. By not worrying about the future or the past but being aware of completing current tasks, staying flexible & open to changes I have found a way to support myself & others.
Another wonderful book full of real life inspiring stories is callled Being Here: Modern Day Tales of Enlightenment & is written by Ariel & Shya Kane. In this day & age, life is fast & full of changes, be they in our family, living or work situations. And with supportive books like these two, we are able to navigate a path through life's sometimes bumpy roads with ease, grace & enjoyment. I highly recommend both these life inspiring books
Gave me that 'warm' feeling - By: Mrs. A. K. Rix, 07 Apr 2008 I must have been going through a period of change when I read this book, because when I finished, I remember having that "it alll makes sense now" type of feeling. I enjoyed the book - very simple to read - sweet enough - I felt better for taking an hour out of my day to read it.
Disappointed - By: Ms Parrot, 05 Apr 2008 
I had heard so much about this book from friends & colleagues & so went ahead & borrowed it from the library. I must say I was highly disappointed.
- It was written in a very childlike manner
- It did not teach me anything new
- I did not like his style of writing
I guess I was expecting a lot more so was reallly disappointed. It says that it can be applied to both your working life & relationship.I only saw the work part of it & not how to apply it to change in a relationship. It was just not my "CHEESE" am afraid. And I read it alll in one go standing by the book stand at the library. I found it boring.
Dissappointed - By: Shoryuken, 13 Mar 2008 
After alll the good reviews I decided to read this book & managed to finish it within two hours. I was dissapointed..
It is a fairly simple & straight forward read & could be compared to a childrens book
I'd say this book is for:
-Those who dont know how to deal with change
-People who are afraid of change
-Finding the benefits of change
-Understanding change, why it occurs & what to do as a result
I think the main reason that I am only giving this book 2 stars is that it doesn't teach me anything new. I work in an industry which is constantly changing & is affected by volatile market conditions. From experience, I have learnt that change happens & you have to deal with it otherwise you can lose out bigtime.
sweet little story - By: Peter Martin Hartwig, 28 Jan 2008 
Who moved my cheese is a sweet & thoughtfull little story, told as a fable, about how different people react in situations of change & turmoil. It's well written & easy to digest. I read it on a flight from copenhagen to london in one sitting, & smiled as i put it down. It's heartly, & yet teaches you a few things.
It reminds me of the old saying: "you don't dig a hole in a right spot, by digging one in the wrong place deeper". The point of the book is to get people to acknowledge change & go with it, instead of using it as an excuse to complain, & being afraid of the unknown.
worth a read.
