 Who moved my cheese? June 5, 2010
Paul Cox (Surrey England)
This book is one of the most famous and successful management tools. It can be read in under 2 hours and leaves the reader to assess which of the characters in the story represents them.
It has changed my life in the way I teach people and make them understand that, if one does not change, then success is left to chance.
 Embracing Change May 22, 2010
A John (Uk)
This is a fairly straightforward book, which encourages the reader to appreciate that sometimes they need to embrace change, and move on.
For some, this may be overly simplistic, and a bit patronising. But it is also a general encouragement to take a few risks for the long term.
For myself, I'm undecided. I was recommended this book by a friend, who thought it was brilliant. I wasn't quite as convinced. The only solution in the book is to take a risk and move on. But there is more to transforming a situation than just walking out and starting again.

A quick way to learn one of lifes most important lessons April 29, 2010
The Truth (UK)
This book was given to me to read when I was younger - I must have been in my early 20's and going through a very rough patch in my life at the time, and a friend gave me it to read. And I give it 5 stars not because it's a brilliant read, but because of the important lessons it contains and the way it helped me out of a dark place.
It's a very simple book - you'll read it quickly - but it delivers a a fundamental and very important rule in life. That you have to move with change of be left behind. The world changes and we have to change with it - we have no other choice if we want to thrive.
Some of the people and reviewers here may sniff at this lesson and say it's obvious - but lots of people don't adhere to this rule and for me it made it clear. No one had taught me that. No one had told me this little nugget of info. But this book did, and for that I'll always be greatful.It is true though, as one reviewer put it, now you've read this review you don't need to read the book - lol. But is cute and quirky and delivers the message in an easily digestible way (cheese pun added and then thought better of and removed at this point).
So...
Do I still hate it when things change?: yes
Do I still moan when new procedures are put in place at work?: yes
Do I still hate computers and pine for the slower pace of life before them?: yes
...but now I realise there is nothing I can do to fight the tide and best thing I can do is just get on with it.
A great book for teenagers or people going through an upheavel in their life. It's one of those books I'll never forget, but purely for the lesson it taught me.
 An Execrable Piece of Tosh April 18, 2010

Please, if you're going to read this - and I don't recommend that you part with money to do so - read "The Spirit Level" by Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett first. In a world where we blame the poor for their poverty and the weak for their weakness, this self-righteous, smug bucket of steaming ordure serves to allow us all to feel happy with the injustices of a society where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Because that's why some folk are poor, isn't it? They're too lazy or too pampered to look for fresh cheese.
This book is not for people who need help in dealing with "harsh economic realities like losing your job" - you know, the kind that wealthy people have to face. It is a self-serving tome to anaesthetise the comfortably-off from the pain of those at the bottom of the pile. It is Smiles's "Self Help" for the Me Generation. It is wilfully naive and unforgivably simplistic. That the author can put "Dr" in front of his name is the worst condemnation of the educational system I can imagine.
I've had to give this one star. I begrudge it.
