Who moved my cheese ?

Some books can literally change your life, because they change YOU. Or rather, because they change your behaviour in some circumstances. THIS BOOK is one of THIS KIND.

Who moved my cheese ? is about change. Every kind of change : in your professional, family life or in your relationship with your soulmate.

Who moved my cheese ? is the simplest story ever. It tells the tales of four tiny characters and a cheese. Two of the protagonists are mice : Sniff and Scurry. And the other two are Haw and Hem, the little people . They all lived in a Maze and they ate cheese they found in Cheese Station C somewhere in this Maze.

However, one day, the cheese is vanished in thin air. Somebody has moved the cheese.

The mice adapted rapidly. They put on their shoes and searched immediately for new cheese. The little people, with their more complex brains, overanalyzed things, regretted the good old days… and wasted a lot of time searching for the old cheese.

Which character are you ? Are you one of the mice, who changed their minds immediately
in order to adapt to the new situation ? Or the one from the little people who lost their time thinking the wrong way ?

The story is so simple, so full of enlightenment, and the characters are so typified that you can easily project and identify yourself with characters and situations.

You can use this tiny book for your own advantageous, but it can also be used as a base of support for a training course, or a campaign for change in your organization, or the basic story of a training course, or as a method of starting point for a discussion for individual coaching.

Who moved my cheese is a must. It is the prove that wisdom often takes very simple ways. It is simply a modern parable about change.

Who moved my cheese ? An Amazing Way to Deal With Change in Your Work and in Your Life, Dr Spencer Johnson, Foreword by Kenneth Blanchard, PHD, Vermillion, Randomhouse, 95 p.
