Who Moved My Cheese by Dr. Spencer JohnsonIt seems that the author has mastered the art of KISS - Keep It Short And Simple
I was recommended this book by one of my colleagues and the ebook kept lying in my folder until i decided to open it and go through.
It's a story of 4 living beings. 2 mice and two little humans. The story revolves around their attitude towards life and it's biggest challenge - Change.
As quoted in the book, “Cheese is a metaphor for what you want to have in life – whether it is a good job, a loving relationship, money or a possession, health or spiritual peace of mind. The maze is where you look for what you want – the organisation you work in, or the family or community you live in."
To be honest, i have mixed thoughts on the book.
First reaction was the immediate one -
1. It's great. It teaches a great lesson in life that change is unavoidable.
2. It teaches to be motivated and not to loose hope
3. I completed the book in 3 hours shuffling in between my work...:P
The second and more thoughtful reaction was that
1. it depends on the perception of reader. One reader might consider the cheese to be challenge and move along with it with open eyes and other one with closed eyes. The one moving blindly is in great danger as that person might be accepting change without regard to whether it is appropriate or not.
Thank god i am not reviewing it and only posting my views. I am saved from the deli-ma...;P
Don't have patience to read, I found many videos on YouTube and here is the one with maximum views. Have a look and decide for yourself.
