Has anyone read this and found it helpful? I originally was going to get hold of it for a friend but wondering whether I should read it too!

I have no idea what its about Jo, can you cut and paste a synopsis?

This is from Amazon:

Change can be a blessing or a curse, depending on your perspective. The message of Who Moved My Cheese? is that all can come to see it as a blessing, if they understand the nature of cheese and the role it plays in their lives. Who Moved My Cheese? is a parable that takes place in a maze. Four beings live in that maze: Sniff and Scurry are mice, non-analytical and non-judgmental; they just want cheese and are willing to do whatever it takes to get it. Hem and Haw are "little people", mouse-size humans who have an entirely different relationship with cheese. It's not just sustenance to them; it's their self-image. Their lives and belief systems are built around the cheese they've found. Most of us reading the story will see the cheese as something related to our livelihoods--our jobs, our career paths, the industries we work in--although it can stand for anything, from health to relationships. The point of the story is that we have to be alert to changes in the cheese and be prepared to go running off in search of new sources of cheese when the cheese we have runs out.

Sounds interesting, and I would rad it yourself, before passing it on.....always useful to look a bit deeper into life's journey

I haven't got hold of it yet... waiting for it to pop up as a swap or in a charity shop, so will keep my eyes open for it!

I've read it but I don't think I have it any more - I found it quite interesting. The analogies that were used were fascinating - definitely worth a read.

Guess I should pick up a copy... maybe I'll take a trip to the library this weekend as I've been a member since June and not been yet!

It's only little and doesn't take long to read!

It's only a small book and worth reading .....there are some quite apt analogies, I haven't seen it as a swap, but will cetainly grab a charity shop copy if I ever find one....

Well I managed to get this as a swap, it arrived today and I have read it already... only 95 pages with big writing!!

I found it very interesting and could see what it was saying... just need to work out how to implement it I guess, in a simple way!!

I was going to put it back on my swaps, but did anyone want to borrow it first???

Hmm, timing of this was pretty interesting too......I love how life throws up the things you're ready for

I was thinking about standing up in that meeting on Monday and offering to lend everyone the book... but I decided it was probably not the right time!

Yep, it's something you needed to have read in advance I think.
