THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER – OVER 30 MILLION COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDE

A timeless business classic, Who Moved My Cheese? is a simple parable that reveals profound truths about dealing with change so that you can enjoy less stress and more success in your work and in your life.

This is the 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, for example a good job, a loving relationship, money or possessions, health or spiritual peace of mind.

The maze is where you look for what you want, perhaps the organisation you work in, or the family or community you live in. The problem is that the cheese keeps moving.

In the story, the characters are faced with unexpected change in their search for the cheese. One of them eventually deals with change successfully and writes what he has learned on the maze walls.

Discover the secret of the writing on the wall for yourself and learn how to anticipate, adapt to, and enjoy change whenever you need to. Written for all ages, this story takes less than an hour to read, but its unique insights will last a lifetime.

Exploring a simple way to take the fear and anxiety out of managing the future, Who Moved My Cheese? is the life-changing guide to help you accept change and enjoy less stress and more success in your work and life.

Was recommended by a manager when I was concerned about change within the company. This book is amazing. I listen to a bit before work everyday and I just FEEL better about a new day. It utilises metaphors that can apply to many individuals and interpretations about what cheese means to them.
Highly recommend if you’re going through a rough patch, need something to validate fear of change whilst also providing ways to combat it.

Wow! 10/10

A very well written illustration depicting the various responses to change and the consequences of each outcome. A very light hearted way to honestly examine our own approach to change which is none invasive or demanding. Very effective!

Embrace the moral of the story - change!
