Kate’s 2¢: “Who moved my cheese?: an amazing way to deal with change in your work and in your life” by Spencer Johnson

“Who moved my cheese?: an amazing way to deal with change in your work and in your life” by Spencer Johnson

Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,     describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read.  I’m just saying…

Characters: Mice Sniff and Scurry; little people: Hem and Haw

Writings on the wall:

— Having cheese makes you happy

— If you do not change, you can become extinct.

— What would you do if you weren’t afraid?

— Smell the cheese often, so you know when it’s getting old.

— Movement in a new direction, helps you find new cheese

— When you move beyond your fear, you feel free.

— Imagining new cheese, before I find it, leads me to it.

— The quicker you let go of old cheese, the sooner you find new cheese.

— Old beliefs do not lead you to new cheese

— When you see that you can find and enjoy new cheese, you change course.

— Noticing small changes early, help you to adapt to the bigger changes that will come.

   Patrick Spencer Johnson (November 24, 1938 – July 3, 2017) was an American physician and author. He was known for the ValueTales series of children’s books, and for his 1998 self-help book Who Moved My Cheese?, which recurred on the New York Times Bestseller list, on the Publishers Weekly Hardcover nonfiction list. Johnson was the chairman of Spencer Johnson Partners.[2]

   Johnson wrote the book “Yes” or “No”: The Guide to Better Decisions (1992).

He co-authored the One Minute Manager series of books with management writer Ken Blanchard, though each author has added their own books to the series.

Johnson’s last book, Out of the Maze, is a sequel to Who Moved My Cheese that references Johnson’s struggle with cancer (which ultimately ended with his death in 2017) and was published posthumously in 2018.[7]

Johnson’s books have been translated into twenty-six languages.[8]
