The coauthor of the multimillion bestseller The One Minute Manager™ has written a deceptively simple story with a dramatically important message.
With Who Moved My Cheese? Dr. Spencer
Johnson realizes the need for finding the language and tools to deal with
change--an issue that makes all of us nervous and uncomfortable.
Most people are fearful of change because they don't believe they have any
control over how or when it happens to them. Since change happens either
to the individual or by the individual, Spencer Johnson shows us that what
matters most is the attitude we have about change.
With the approach of the year 2000, most work environments are finally
recognizing the urgent need to get their computers and other business
systems up to speed and able to deal with unprecedented change. What
businesses are only just beginning to realize is that this is not enough:
we need to help people get ready, too.
Spencer Johnson has created his new book to do just that. The coauthor of
the multimillion bestseller The One Minute Manager™ has written a
deceptively simple story with a dramatically important message that can
radically alter the way we cope with change. Who Moved My Cheese? allows
for common themes to become topics for discussion and individual
interpretation. Who Moved My Cheese? takes the fear and anxiety out of
managing the future and shows people a simple way to successfully deal
with the changing times, providing them with a method for moving ahead
with their work and lives safely and effectively.

Who Moved My Cheese? because it means the book has now been written, and is
available for all of us to read, enjoy and share with others.
This is something I've wanted to see happen ever since I first heard
Spenser Johnson tell his great "Cheese" story, years ago, before
we wrote our book The One Minute Manager together.
I remember thinking then how good the story was and how helpful it would
be to me from that moment on.
Who Moved My Cheese? is a story about change that takes place in a Maze
where four amusing characters look for "Cheese" - cheese being a
metaphor for what we want to have in life, whether it is a job, a
relationship, money, a big house, freedom, health, recognition, spiritual
peace, or even an activity like jogging or golf.
Each of us has our own idea of what Cheese is, and...
