In Spencer Johnson's world, Sniff and Scurry are not verbs, but mice; and Hem and Haw are "little people-beings." Chances are if you don't know what any of this means, no one has moved your cheese. Still confused? Read on....
Who moved my Cheese? Is a simple parable that reveals profound truths about change. It is an amusing and enlightening story of four characters who live in a "Maze" and look for "Cheese" to nourish them and make them happy.
"Cheese" is a metaphor for what you want to have in life--whether it is a good job, a loving relationship, money, a possession, health, or Spiritual peace of mind. And "The Maze" is where you look for what you want--the organization you work in, or the family or community you live in.
The characters are faced with unexpected change. Eventually, one of them deals with it successfully, and writes what he has learned from his experience on the maze walls.
When you come to see "The Handwriting on the Wall." you can discover for yourself how to deal with change, so that you can enjoy less stress and more success (however you define it) in your work and in your life.
Written for all ages, the story takes a little over an hour to listen to, but its unique insights can last a lifetime.
This is a brief tale of two mice and two humans who live in a maze and one day are faced with change: someone moves their cheese. Reactions vary from quick adjustment to waiting for the situation to change by itself to suit their needs. This story is about adjusting attitudes toward change in life, especially at work. Change occurs whether a person is ready or not, but the author affirms that it can be positive. His principles are to anticipate change, let go of the old, and do what you would do if you were not afraid. Listeners are still left with questions about making his or her own specific personal changes. Capably narrated by Tony Roberts, this audiotape is recommended for larger public library collections.--Mark Guyer, Stark Cty. Dist. Lib., Canton, OH Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.
