Book Review : Who moved my cheese?

It's a  motivational and self-help book which i was hoping to read since long time as it is  favorite book of one of my friend and he recommended me to read it.

The book is all about broadening personal vision / perspective on certain things which are dear to oneself which are depicted in book as "cheese" .Now, cheese can be anything... one's professional life, one's personal life, certain situation in one's life .. The book tells you how to have a broad perspective so that you will not likely loose... and about winning .. that all depends on how you deal with the situation ..

So, the book tells it's story in a very interesting way. In the form of story of 4 characters. 2 of them are  mice and 2 of them are little people each having unique  characteristics.These characteristics depicts major qualities of human kind.  Like , Sniff ( the mouse ) is representation of "very active mindset" who "sniffs" out the early changes in one's environment. so, it depicts the people who keeps check on change.  Similarly, Scurry ( the mouse ) depicts the persons who move very quickly , takes action promptly. Hem ( little people ) depicts the people who are skeptic and pessimist and who keeps on cribbing about everything into their life that changes . This is a classic example of  failed person .. :) . Haw ( little people) depicts the strategy chosen by failed people to get back in game.. if, one does not  follow this strategy then one will turn Hem-like..

I would say the hero of the story if Haw, who first acts like Hem ,fellow little people , but, after realising the real scenario  , he starts changing his strategies and he finally wins the game. but, does not stop there. He learns from his mistakes and then finds out long term winning strategy ..

Few of the GOLDEN lines carved on wall by Haw are :

                                    Be Ready To Change Quickly And Enjoy It Again

                                              They Keep Moving The Cheese.

I seriously loved the book as in it says more about how to win back into game instead of just lamely telling winners strategy. If one is really stuck due to constant failures ,this book should definitely be guide for oneself. Must read book..
