I Moved Your Cheese: For Those Who Refuse to Live as Mice in Someone Else's Maze (Bk Business) Hardcover – September 5, 2011

World populations in a mass media monotony induced state of unconscious staring, total distraction and suspended disbelief. We have a lot we could learn from the mice in this short tale. Worth a read and then you can return to your comatose state immediately.

The PROS: short, concise, quick-read, easy to understand, humorous, engagingThe CONS: frustrating to know not everyone can immediately apply these concepts, so perhaps the message of the book is a little too idealistic for the average person, and the discussion questions at the end are a little overwhelming due to the volume of questions provided. Overall, a good book though. I bought the Kindle version initially, and later a hard copy version to share with others. I also own WMMC which is equally enlightening and counterintuitive, so I encourage people to chase WMMC down with this book to get a balanced perspective on cheese-hunting.

This is not casual reading. Although I do read to learn and be able to share what I learned, this material should give you a letter grade for reading it. This level of reading could be used in a business course to engage and expose young minds in preparation for a corporate life.

In an era of data overflow, complex models and increasing instability, Professor Malhotra, a tenured HBS Scholar, offers us a fable? I bought the book because I really apreciated the author's work on The Negotiation Genius. And I was expecting more Negotiation tools and insights. But this book really surprised me. On the surface there is no Negotiation there. The simple and engaging narrative makes it a quick read. But the message is powerful. I think the great contribution Professor Malhotra, as an educator, offers with this book is to extend the concept of framing to a larger audience. This is key in Negotiations. This is key in every life decision. It's worth reading and passing it to our loved ones.

This is a very short book - it took me about 1/2 hour to read, including the foreward and "discussion questions" at the end - but an interesting fable that gives you some philosophical points to ponder. It didn't hold any "aha" moments for me; none of the philosophy contained in the fable is either new or dramatic, but I enjoyed it and thought it was worth reading. Certainly worth the .$99 special price I paid for it.Note that (to me) a 3 star review is a decent book worth reading, a 4 star review indicates a book I thought was really good, and a 5 start review would indicate a book that is well worth reading multiple times and is might even be on the list of my all time favorites.

This book is short enough to read in an hour, but powerful enough where you will want to read the same sentence several times over. I Moved Your Cheese hits it spot on. It is not only a business book, but also a book to help open your eyes, increase your awareness, helping to take you to a place of greater enlightenment. There are many threads of Buddhism and yoga woven throughout the book. I have now purchased a dozen copies and have given them to everyone from Yoga Instructors to Senior Vice Presidents. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is interested in asking questions rather than just accepting the status quo.

Read who move your cheese when working corporate. Read this years later now that I own my own small business. Should have read this immediately after the first book. Very different messages but both are valid. Worth a few reads as we all get different messages depending on what we are going through in life.

I've read both books: Who moved my cheese and I moved your cheese. They are both awesome books.Awesome in the message they transmit, awesome in the way they transmit it.Two simple mouse stories that make us accept that the world is changing and in this book, impelling us to be curious about what is going on, to excel with the tools (our body) at our reach and to exceed ourselves.thank you for making it simple to understand and to live better in a very complex world.

Una fábula que incita a pensar, pero nada original. esperaba más del autor, que es un gran conferenciante.

This is a book I read with scepticism. I thought this was written just to refute what was written in Who Moved My Cheese. I got the same feeling in the beginning pages of introduction but once I started reading, it opened up a completely new world of thinking.Who Moved My Cheese was an excellent book addressing vital question of adjusting to changing world. There was a chance that message has been misinterpreted by some as recommendation not to resist the change or to escape from it.This book addresses this question of possible misinterpretation admirably. In fact it is a book which gives new insights every time you study and analyse. This is a stand alone book which stimulates thoughts and action.I think this book is an essential reading in addition to Who Moved My Cheese and Out of the Maze by Dr Spencer Johnson. All three books together give enjoyable and life education.This book is worth every penny we pay for it- I would strongly recommend it.

Not worth the read, not a nook but a metaphor that can be twisted as best fit, but without giving any helpful take-away

This book is simply amazing. I felt after reading "who moved my cheese " that the message was good but somehow something was missing. This book definitely fills that void. Its again quite a small book but the messages in this book are very profound . I have gifted the hard copy to 2 of my close friends.

Fast delivery, and product is just as described. I would recommend this seller.
