I'm not sure what to make of this book. It's incredibly popular, has sold a ridiculous number of copies, and is heralded as life-changing by many. And yet, despite this acclaim, I can't really find much redeeming in it. Ostensibly, 'Who Moved My Cheese' is meant to show us all how to live go-with-the-flow lives, 'keeping your eye on the prize' despite constant changes. Unfortunately, it never explores whether all changes are necessarily good, or what to do when they're not. The advice offered is only 'deal with them'. While sometimes there is nothing else you can do, I simply can’t believe it’s good life advice to assume that this is always the case.
In addition, the story is so shallow, and the language so simple that it feels like it was written for kids still in elementary school. I recently discovered there's a Teen version of this book. I don't know how they could have dumbed it down still further, but I suppose anything's possible. Don't waste your time.
I agree, the book was so boring that I couldn't even skim through it. There are more effective books out there on the same topic, plain and simple.
