Who Moved My Cheese? Short Summary

Who Moved My Cheese? makes you think about change in a different light. Spencer Johnson shows through a short story how to see change not as the end of something, but the beginning of a new chapter. The story will feel close to home and it will give you a different perspective on your life.

They Keep Moving The Cheese

Change is inevitable. You can see it in every aspect of your life.

But despite that, you hold on to what you have and ignore the writing on the wall.

“The more important your cheese is to you the more you want to hold on to it.”

This is your fear talking. You worry you’re not capable of adapting to the new reality.
