Who Moved my Cheese

I had read this book by Dr Spencer Johnson long ago. Since the lessons are timeless, I would like to recommend it to all my friends.The book deals with managing change.Often things happen to us,and we continue to fret and fume about it,rather than just moving on with our lives. Cheese is a metaphor for all that we desire, and could be related to your organisation, your job or the relationship you are in.Change happens all around us.In fact it is the only permanent thing in life. Everyone is forced to deal with it sooner or later.About 40 pages of wisdom packed in this book will prepare you for the inevitable change that is bound to affect you. Given below are some of the principles given in the book that you need to remember.

• Change happens-Someone keeps moving the Cheese
• Anticipate Change-Get ready for the Cheese to move.
• Monitor Change-Smell the Cheese often so that you know when it is getting old.
• Adapt to Change quickly-The quicker you let go of the old cheese,the sooner you can enjoy the new Cheese.
• Change-Move with the Cheese
• Enjoy Change-Savour the taste and aroma of the new Cheese
• Be ready to change quickly and enjoy it again and again-They always keep moving the Cheese
