Who Moved My Cheese?
by Spencer Johnson
Disclaimer: I picked this book as a part of a reading challenge.
The first time I read the book was sometime in 2009/10. No points for guessing why. It’s a must-read for every MBA grad. Being wary of self-help books and literally falling asleep when reading another such recommendation, I was surprised to note that I did finish reading the book in less than an hour. Of course, it’s a little book (thank God!), but still…
Now in 2022, I have to tick off a prompt for a reading challenge- a book from a genre I dislike/ hate. After shortlisting a few books (with help), I chose this one (recommended by a friend) because of the page count.
Who Moved My Cheese is about understanding, acknowledging, and accepting change to lead a happy and better life. The concept is presented as a parable with two mice and two little people. As expected, they have different approaches to life, influencing their decisions and lives.
The book talks about how accepting change makes the transition smoother and readies us to deal with the subsequent developments in our lives. The writing is easy and without too much gyan. The book has an intro section and a discussion section where a group of friends discusses their lives and how they can use this story to adapt to changing circumstances.
What do I gain from the book? I completed the challenge and re-read a self-help book. I might try to act a little more flexible, though I’m sure it won’t last long. I’m a Taurean for a reason. ;)
