این کتاب رو در عرض نیم ساعت خوندم،نمیدونم آقای دکتر اسپنسر جانسون شاید از این اخوندای بالا منبری باشه تو کشور خودش که هی میگن،ادامه بده،برو جلو ،تغییر کن،قوی باش،و هزار مزخرف دیگه....
اگر تغییر نکنی میمیری،اگه تغییر نکنم چی داداچ

هاو وهم رو می‌خواد هی بکوبه تو سر مخاطب خودش که اگه تغییر کنی پنیر پیدا میکنی،پنیر رو بوکن،با آینده سازگار شو،با پنیر حرکت کن،اونها پنیر رو جابجا میکنن و تو باید پیداش کنی...

در تمام نیم ساعتی که مفت خرج کردم احساس میکردم ،پول دادم که یه روانشناس برام زر بزنه...

هم و هاو نمیدونست زندگی زیباست فکرمیکردن دیگه پنیری وجود نداره اما با ع��م راسخ پیداش کردن هوراااا زندگی زیباست

حرف آخر: کدوم زندگی بهتر،ملا جانسون،زندگی مگه چیزی جز بدبختی و خاک توسری هست ،جمع کنین این کتابای مزخرف رو ،هرگونه تصور از آینده بهتر توهمی بیش نیست.پنیر چی کشک چی...

کتاب مزخرفی که حالم رو اول صبحی بهم زد ،دست بوس عالیجناب سلینی هستم که بهم یاد داد
:زندگی گه دونی بیش نیست

"a change imposed is a change opposed."

Seeing how short this book was, I wasn't really expecting Who Moved My Cheese? to deliver a lot, though I've seeing it being recommended by many as a great self development book. But the very quick time required to go through the book shifted my opinion drastically, in that, this is indeed one of the most clearly written books on the necessity of adapting and enjoying the change and the importance of it.

To me, all three parts of the book were important, and helped fine-tune the self interpretation I made for the second part. I don't think the book is so successful only because it delivers the message clearly and concisely but also because it adds a lot of humor to the subject with those unique characters, which gives the reader an opportunity to understand the message in an objective yet relaxed way.

"It all depends on what you choose to believe."

Dear Mr. Christ,

I was at that meeting you held the other day up on the hill - I guess you wouldn't remember me, I was at the back of the crowd. Anyway, I really liked it. I gotta admit, some of it kind of went over my head, but it was a great speech. I particularly liked the part with blessed are the cheesemakers, I thought that was inspired. Most people never think about cheese, but I think about it all the time.

Well, like I said, some of it was hard to get, but I talked about it afterwards with my friend Brian and he explained it to me. Then I liked it even more! Yeah, that is a very cool message about living in the moment and not overthinking things. You have something there. But then I said to myself, what is this guy missing? And the answer came to me clear as clear: cheese. Just one single mention, and do you know, Brian couldn't even remember that bit.

So, I hope you won't find this presumptuous or anything, but I wrote a longer version, playing up the cheese and making it more, you know, business-friendly. I've attached a PDF and I'd love to know what you think!

Best wishes,

Spencer



Dear Spencer,

I wouldn't have used as many words, but I very much appreciated the Parable of the Cheese. I look forward to seeing you again.

Your friend,

Jesus

هذا الكتاب يأكد معلومة واحده أن جملة ( الكتاب الأكثر مبيعا ) ورائها كتاب غالبا فاشل وأن الكتاب الذى يبدأ فى أولى صفحاته بخمسين ألف مدح فيه هو غالبا فاشل أيضا ،
كتاب عديم الفائدة بل شعرت أنه ينصح بطريقة طفولية فأسلوب النصح سطحى ومباشر ، و العبارات مكررة وغير مؤثرة.

عندما يتغير ما حولنا.. قد نستغربه ومن ثم نغض الطرف عنه.. قد نحاربه.. قد نعيش معه!
تصرفاتنا فرع عن تصوراتنا
التغيير يأتي من الداخل
علينا ملاحظة التغييرات الطفيفة والتنبه لها لأنها قد تؤدي لتغييرات جذرية
الحياة وتيرة من التغييرات علينا التكيف معها والاستمتاع بها ومنحها قدرها من النشاط والانتاجية

الإيمان سرّ التغيير.. وهو سنة الله في خلقه

فكرة تغيير الذات للوصول إلى هدف ما ليست فكرة جديدة على المعتقد الإسلامي
الجديد في الكتاب هو مدى تكيفنا مع التغيير الخارجي المألوف ومدى تقبلنا لأن نتغير بدورنا!

قصة بسيطة معبرة

شكرا لمن أعارتني كتابها :)

I read this for work many years ago. It was a very interesting read. We broke into small groups and discussed the concepts.

This is a fine book.

Actual rating: 1.5 stars.

The book sends us a nice and important life message in a fun and easy way.

My problem with it is that the dialogs and explanations are painfully obvious. A bit redundant at times. To me, the narrator over-explains things as if we were in need of extra help to understand, which is really annoying.

Generally, I would describe it as basic.

This is a very good book. The biggest plus point of this book is that it's short and easy to read.

It gives a good moral lesson in the form of a story that makes it more alluring.

This is a book about how two mice named Sniff and Scurry and two miniature humans named Hem and Haw (that's right) are trapped in a maze that serves as a metaphor for the inherent restrictions and viccisitudes of our lives. One day some invisible force beyond their control takes the cheese from a sector of the maze, sending our mice and little people looking for more, if, indeed there is anymore to be had. Sniff and Scurry, we are told, have the right attitude because "they keep life simple...they don't overanalyze or overcomplicate things," and rather than question why the cheese was taken from them they accept change and just get out there and bust their balls humping it through that maze like good little unquestioning furry mini-zombies looking for more. Hem and Haw, like too many humans, we are told, over-think things and fixate on their past comforts and expectations and spend too much time stewing over the unfairness of their loss of food rather than fearlessly getting out there and looking through the maze for more.

So, who moved/stole their cheese? That question is never answered. Nay, it is, posits this book, a completely unimportant and irrelevant question to ask, because, fellow bitches, the system is how it is, it's gonna stay that way, you can't do a fuckin' thing to change that and it's just too goddamned bad if you don't like it, because your cheese is going to be stolen and sent to South China and that's that. So stop bellyaching about jobs and health care. Just get yourself rich with stinking piles of cheese, or just shut up about it...liberals!

Another key question that is not asked is: "Who designed, built and maintains the maze and whose interests does that serve?"

I have a theory, not addressed in the book, that stinking rich executive-types, most of whom have driven their companies into the ground or into slave-wage zones and sent their employees off to look for "New Cheese" while enjoying their own golden-parachute-financed retirements and/or bailouts, may be among those who have stolen our cheese. But, according to the book, such things are not only outside the realm of questioning, but are irrelevant. The very idea of changing or creating a more equitable system is simply beyond the pale. You won't be the master of your own cheese, suckers, so be happy with what you can get. Those who take the cheese always know better.

In an unexpected turn of events, however, some disgruntled employees at the facility where this book was printed--who had just been told that their cheeses were being moved to Mexico and they would lose their $15-an-hour living-wage jobs to $1-an-hour Mexican slaves--decided to slip an alternative version of this story into some of the copies of the book, some of which turned up on Amazon and the late-lamented Border's.

In this version, Hem and Haw and Sniff and Scurry notice their cheese missing and, after looking for two years for no cheese dispensaries and finding themselves at the end of their 99-weeks of insufficient government-issue unemployment-benefit cheese rations, decide to put Hem and Haw's human smarts and Sniff and Scurry's uncerebral pluck to new uses and ends. Since cheese is the goal, or the ends, and since the ends justify the means, they decide to figure out who is taking their cheese, prevent further cheese-moving shenanigans, and keep those tasty fromage comestibles for themselves. Thinking "outside the maze", they decide that having their cheese taken away arbitrarily--especially by the one-percent who already own more cheese than the other 99 percent of cheese-eaters combined--is not the kind of change they will accept, and instead of being on the receiving end of change decide to mete out a little change of their own--for a change (after all, who says that change always has to come from "above," from outside? Why not from below, from the bottom up? I know, change from the bottom is class warfare; change/cheese moving from the top is, well, the marketplace working like it should). Deciding not to take it anymore, the plucky mice and men donned commando gear, staked out the various points of infiltration, and with their cache of weapons including Molotov cocktails, took out the greedy cheese-hoarding scumbags.

No cheese was stolen thereafter.

But who produced the future cheese? After all, there were no more job exporters...I mean, "job creators." The anarcho-syndicalist collective, of course. And there was cheese for all.

It's the type of book I needed right now to remind me of a certain things that I forgot about. It's not perfectly written but the message reached and I'm glad I read it at this time exactly!
