Usually I’m very casual and laid back and take things as they come.

IMO this should be taught in late High school around grade 10-12. And reinforced in Senior year of college to prepare people well.

Book Review: Who Moved My Cheese?"Who Moved My Cheese?" by Spencer Johnson is a thought-provoking book that invites readers to reflect deeply on their approach to change and personal growth. For me, it provided a fresh lens to examine my mindset, my reactions to life's circumstances, and the reasons behind those reactions.The story uses four characters—Sniff, Scurry (mice), and Hem, Haw (little people)—to represent different attitudes toward change. This clever characterization drew me in and made the lessons relatable. I resonated most with Sniff, as I see myself as someone who looks ahead and is always searching for new opportunities. However, I also see myself evolving into Scurry, focusing on action and implementation—a shift I find empowering.There wasn’t anything I disliked about the book; its simplicity and relatability were its greatest strengths. It's a short, impactful read that captures attention and encourages self-reflection and implementation. The storytelling is so compelling that it blurs the line between a quick read and a lifelong lesson.I recommend this book wholeheartedly to my team, organization, family, and anyone eager for self-improvement. Whether you're navigating personal challenges or professional hurdles, this book offers timeless insights.Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐The storytelling, actionable insights, and brevity make it a standout. While it’s a quick read, its true value lies in applying its lessons to real-life situations.Deon C Freeman12/15/24

The book makes you think about changes in life. Great read. I have already recommended it to family and friends.

This is not your typical business or motivational book. I also feel like some of the negative reviews, while I understand them, miss the point. I can't blame them either... they were possibly given this as a "hey we're making change, but it's okay because here's a book to help you through it..." That would frustrate me too, and this book doesn't really "tell you" how to deal with change, it just describes it in a fairly simple story.If you're a fan of other Spencer Johnson books and like his tone, this is a must own... You'll feel right at home with the style. The book describes how four characters (Sniff, Scurry, Hem and Haw) navigate a maze to get cheese. They all have different personalities and roles within the story, which show their motives, frustrations and actions within change. It's a quick read, you'll probably get through the whole story in a half hour or so.Someone once told me that if you can learn one thing from a business (or motivational) book that makes you a better professional, it's a gigantic success. I'd say, at least for me, it does that. It got me thinking about change and how I can identify with all four characters. It will probably be a multiple read for me (it's short enough) and I think I'll probably get something out of it each time.I ranked it 4 out of 5 stars because the story definitely succeeded in what it was trying to accomplish. I felt the story was thorough yet short so it keeps your attention. I docked it a point because I understand a lot of the negative reviews, and it doesn't do a good job defending itself; something that could have been avoided in my opinion by a solid "how to use this" page.
