Nur nicht den Mut verlieren: Schon die ersten Seiten bringen einem zum lachen und regen zum nachdenken an. Das Buch ist ansprechend und leicht verständlich geschrieben. Gut gemacht sind die zahlreichen Zitate die kurz zusammenfassen worauf es in den einzelnen Abschnitten des Buches ankommt.
Aha-Effekte hatte ich während des Lesens genug und ich muss sagen ich kann es nur jedem weiterempfehlen der nicht auch schon mal das Gefühl hatte nicht vom Fleck zu kommen.

Required reading for all the managers at my last job. Everyone else got to see the short movie. Yuck. Another bit of obvious, repackaged, self-help pap for the politically correct, corporate scene. ( )

En fin lille øjenåbner der forstår at skabe rammer for forandringer i hverdagen samt i arbejdslivet. ( )

If this is a motivational book, the average level of people "in need of motivations" must be pretty low!
Terrible book. ( )

Who Moved My Cheese?

Book description

Amazon.com (ISBN 0399144463, Hardcover)

Change can be a blessing or a curse, depending on your perspective. The message of Who Moved My Cheese? is that all can come to see it as a blessing, if they understand the nature of cheese and the role it plays in their lives. Who Moved My Cheese? is a parable that takes place in a maze. Four beings live in that maze: Sniff and Scurry are mice--nonanalytical and nonjudgmental, they just want cheese and are willing to do whatever it takes to get it. Hem and Haw are "littlepeople," mouse-size humans who have an entirely different relationship with cheese. It's not just sustenance to them; it's their self-image. Their lives and belief systems are built around the cheese they've found. Most of us reading the story will see the cheese as something related to our livelihoods--our jobs, our career paths, the industries we work in--although it can stand for anything, from health to relationships. The point of the story is that we have to be alert to changes in the cheese, and be prepared to go running off in search of new sources of cheese when the cheese we have runs out.

Dr. Johnson, coauthor of The One Minute Manager and many other books, presents this parable to business, church groups, schools, military organizations--anyplace where you find people who may fear or resist change. And although more analytical and skeptical readers may find the tale a little too simplistic, its beauty is that it sums up all natural history in just 94 pages: Things change. They always have changed and always will change. And while there's no single way to deal with change, the consequence of pretending change won't happen is always the same: The cheese runs out. --Lou Schuler
