Who Moved My Cheese? An Amazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life

The story itself is cute. Two mice and two little people live near a maze filled with cheese. When the cheese is gone, the mice leave to search for more cheese. The two little people stay, hoping the cheese will come back. Unfortunately, when I got to the "discussion" part of the book, it was a let down. It was sort of like the wrap-up at the end of a talk show. The introduction does mention that you can stop at the end of the story and interpret its meaning on your own. From the back cover it states "Dr. Spencer Johnson will show you how to ... Anticipate change, Adapt to change quickly, Enjoy change, Be ready to change quickly again and again. That's false advertising because he doesn't "SHOW" you how to do any of that per se. You have to think of what "your cheese" is and figure out the rest. It was a quick read (not less than an hour as it states on the back cover) and enjoyable.
