Question:
Have any of you read Who Moved My Cheese?

On the Kaiser list this last month, someone suggested reading the book Who Moved my Cheese? It is a hardback book but has large print and 94 pages. What a great book. Written by: Spencer Johnson MD <BR><BR> *****<BR> Here's a quote from the cover: "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.<BR><BR> Two are mice name Sniff and Scurry. And two are "little people" -- beings the size of mice who look and act a lot like people. Their names are Hem and Haw.<BR><BR> "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.<BR><BR> And the "Maze" is where you look for what you want -- the organization you work in, or the family or community you live in." <BR><BR> ****<BR><BR> Here are some quotes that hit home with me:<BR><BR> "When you move beyond your fear, you feel free."<BR> "What would you do if you weren't afraid?"<BR> "If you do not change, you can become extinct."<BR><BR> Definitely would recommend the book. I could put myself into the story line with regards to some many aspects of my life including my weight loss journey.<BR><BR> Have you read this book? I highly recommend it.<BR> Mary    — [Deactivated Member] (posted on June 18, 2003)

Mary I know you didn't really require an answer, but yes I did read this book. I read it 4 years ago after my husband had been laid off from a job after 23 years at the age of 50. It helped me through a very rough time. I have since reccommended it to several friends with problems too hard to deal with. It was an inspiration to me and I hope it helped my friends.
