Eventually, one of them deals with it successfully, and writes what he has learned from his experience on the Maze walls. It is an amusing and enlightening story of four characters who live in a "Maze" and look for "Cheese" to nourish them and make them happy.Two are mice named Sniff and Scurry. When you come to see "The Handwriting on the Wall," you can discover for yourself how to deal with change, so that you can enjoy less stress and more success (however you define it) in your work and in your life. Their names are Hem and Haw. "Cheese" is a metaphor for what you want to have in life -- whether it is a good job, a loving relationship, money, a possession, health, or spiritual peace of mind. The 10th anniversary audio edition of Who Moved My Cheese? includes exclusive new bonus material in which Spencer Johnson offers fresh insights on its origins, impact and applications that will help you put its powerful wisdom to work.. And the "Maze" is where you look for what you want -- the organization you work in, or the family or community you live in. Who Moved My Cheese? is a simple parable that reveals profound truths. And two are "Littlepeople" -- beings the size of mice who look and act a lot like people. In the story, the characters are faced with unexpected change

You would do well to purchase this book and read it, especially if you are struggling through change or working in a profession that aids others in change.. Excellent book! It is a must read KLynn Excellent book! It is a must read. When I was still working in the school system this book was a suggested read by all faculty and staff members at one of the school.

Their lives and belief systems are built around the cheese they've found. Dr. Johnson, coauthor of The One Minute Manager and many other books, presents this parable to business, church groups, schools, military organizations--anyplace where you find people who may fear or resist change. They always have changed and always will change. It's not just sustenance to them; it's their self-image. Who Moved My Cheese? is a parable that takes place in a maze. Hem and Haw are "littlepeople," mouse-size humans who have an entirely different relationship with cheese. And although more analytical and skeptical readers may find the tale a little too simplistic, its beauty is that it sums
