I Moved Your Cheese

For Those Who Refuse to Live as Mice in Someone Else's Maze

De: Deepak Malhotra

Narrado por: Robert Fass

For all its good intentions, Who Moved My Cheese? basically reduces us to mice in a maze sniffing after cheese. Harvard Business School professor Deepak Malhorta uses a fable involving a different set of mice in a maze—mice who question everything—to help readers see how they underestimate their ability change the rules, overcome the constraints they face, and control their own destiny. I Moved Your Cheese encourages readers to audit their assumptions about what limitations they really face and which are self-imposed or unthinkingly accepted. We can create the circumstances and realities we want—we can go beyond simply changing our behavior (find that new cheese!) to changing the game itself. But to do so we need to understand the ways we’re holding ourselves back. As one of the characters in the book says, “the problem is not that the mouse is in the maze, but that the maze is in the mouse.”

Good fable!

The story is quite fascinating and open for challenges and interpretations. However, there is no techniques or tools for better achieve the goals ..

The mice are not in the maze. The maze is in the mice

Never stop asking why? If the first question doesn’t seem to have an answer, perhaps you need to change the question. In this case curiosity didn’t kill the cat. Curiosity got the mouse out of maze!

insightful

A new perspective into dealing with obstacles, Questioning the way we live, and properly defining our purpose.

Great leadership analysis

I would have loved to know the end questions at the beginning so I could reflect back and deeply look at their traits as the story was being told. I would listen to that first and then listen tot he story if I were to listen to it again.

Entrepreneurs move your cheese (?)

And listening to this it’s like Who Moved My Cheese? is for typical people who want to work a job 9 to 5 not don’t appreciate change and some change but in general I think that first book does a great job of representing what most people want. This book on the other hand seems like it is about people who won’t work the status quo many of whom are going to either be entrepreneurs maybe a side hustle, etc.

The Best Mind Awakening Book

My Biggest Lesson is This:

The Only Way Out of The Maze is UP !!

Great Book

Different

I liked this book gave a different thinking viewpoint for each mouse. I believe it was more realistic as a leaders viewpoint.

Thought provoking

Deep thoughts on the psychology of change and the walls we put up for ourselves, and what it takes to break out of them by expanding our way of thinking.

Thought-provoking, but…

After reading who moved my cheese it was natural for me to want to read this book as a follow up. I read them both on the same day. I found the first book to be whimsical and the second to be cerebral. I like the philosophical bent of the story, but was not drawn in by the characters or their experiences in the maze like I was in the first book. Listening time was so short I couldn't resist and if you have the time neither should you.

Nice launch

I was intrigued by this title and what it offered. Yet, I was disappointed that it didn’t go into a more in depth discussion on the process and mindset of getting out of the proverbial maze.

It, was a great undertaking.

Enjoy🦅
