Review - Who Moved My Cheese

Everyone one of us want to live a life which is peaceful and prosperous.. Similar to the physical and cognitive changes in us, the circumstances and situations surrounding us also change. Though we know "Change is inevitable",we do panic. This book is about how to manage and overcome that fear that we have about change. Its a small book which you can finish reading in just a couple of hours. Its written in the stand-point of a person who experiences change. The language is simple, clear, with no pretension.

The four characters are Sniff, Scurry, Hem and Haw who live in a maze which can be thought as analogous to real life. The cheese can be imagined to something that a person has(maybe money, job, relationship) and which he expects to remain as he /she wants it to be. One day abruptly the supply of cheese that the four of them had vanishes off and the whole story revolves around how each of them react to this sudden change that catches them unawares. There are a lot of parallels that we can draw from this book that matches with our personal experiences in life. Sometimes emotional pain is accompanied with change, in such a situation the pain should be forged to overcome the change rather than brooding over why it happened.
Just read the book if u wanna know how change should be tackled, suppose in future if someone moves ur cheese u dont have to worry coz u know what should be done.. So don't miss this masterpiece

PS: One of my friend doesn't read any books and the only book he has read is this SPECIAL one.. Now I presume there is nothing more that I need to add to its credentials.. Enjoy reading..
