A little bit about the book
The story was created by Dr. Spencer to help him deal with the change he was dealing
with in his life. And when his friends noticed how he changed and how his life became much
better, they asked him about his secret and he told them about the story he created, the story
of “Who Moved My Cheese?”. After that his friend and co-author of The One Minute
Manager, Kenneth Blanched, Ph.D., convinced him that he should write that story in a book
and publish it, so that many people can benefit from it. So he did.
After twenty years of creating the story, the book was finally published and became
the number one international bestseller. More than one million copies have been sold in 16
months and 10 million copies in the following two years! And now they have exceeded 21
million copies.
Some people have found this book very helpful, and some have found it very simple
and just obvious common sense. And the writer commented that it is how you interrupt the
story and apply it to your own life that give it value.
The Summary
The wheel of life never stops, and it tends to change rapidly, and no one has control
over it. Either we accept, adapt and live with that change. Or deny it, live wretched, shed
tears and mourn.
