Who Moved My Cheese?

Who Moved My Cheese?is a motivational business fable written by Dr. Spencer Johnson, published in 1998. The book uses a simple allegory to illustrate how people deal with change in their work and lives. It tells the story of two mice, Sniff and Scurry, and two little people, Hem and Haw, who live in a maze and are in search of cheese, which symbolizes happiness and success.

As the cheese supply runs out, the characters have different reactions to the change. Sniff and Scurry quickly adapt and venture into the maze to find new cheese, while Hem resists change and refuses to leave the empty stockpile. Haw eventually learns to embrace change and follows the mice in search of new cheese, realizing that change can lead to new opportunities.

The key lessons of the book focus on the importance of adapting to change, not fearing it, and being proactive rather than reactive. Who Moved My Cheese?has gained popularity in corporate training and personal development, providing valuable insights into managing change effectively.
