Book: Who Moved My Cheese?

Book review:

This is an old classic book, which I have recently reread because I know I was facing a lot of changes and sometimes it feels overwhelming and stressful when dealing with a number of changes. This book is an enjoyable, easy to read and a recommended book, which helps you understand how to anticipate, adapt and enjoy changes.

This book is great story about a four characters in a maze looking for cheese and how they reacted when changes occurred. The cheese represents something we are looking for or in pursue of. The maze represent where we spend time looking for what we want. Eg the organisation you work in, or family or community you live in.

A few quotes i have taken from the book:

"we keep doing the same things over and over again and wonder why things don't get better"

"when you change what you believe, you change what you do"

"in a world that is constantly changing, it is to our advantage to learn how to adapt and enjoy something better"
