July 21st – “Who Moved My Cheese” By Spencer Johnson

Below is the book discussion from the SCC Book Corner meeting on July 21, 2008.

Some book reviewers do not understand the “hype” behind this small book. What people call “hype”, Spencer Johnson M.D. is calling “success”. Many companies and colleges are buying up copies of this motivational book and handing them out to their employees and students.

This small book (94 pages) is divided into two parts. The first part is the story behind the story (foreword by Kenneth Blanchard). The second part is a meeting between high classmates. This is the beginning of our story. A tale about a maze, two mice, two little people, and cheese is formed.  

Everyone reacts to change one way or another. The two mice and two little people are examples of our personalities during change. The maze is a representation of our environment. The cheese is a representation of happiness or success.
