Day before yesterday I went to Barnes and Noble to read some books but soon I bot bored of them and ended up reading 'Who moved my cheese' (http://www.amazon.com/Moved-Cheese-Amazing-Deal-Change/dp/0399144463).

Here are my thoughts about it.

I just finished reading this book Who moved my cheese by Dr. Spencer Johnson. Its a simple book, well-written with easy language which makes for good reading. Using mice and little people as characters, the author builds an engaging, straight forward parable of how different people react to changes around them and how he hopes we all, by that I mean all the readers, can take a lesson or two from this magically successful book. The author later came up with many versions applicable to teens and kids etc.

I definitely recommend everybody to read this book. Even though I found the book inspiring with all those insights and anecdotes in it, I also have a disclaimer which goes like this, read and try to enjoy the book in one sitting because its a little cheesy. The book really has few pages and I completed it in 2 hours.

I have a eBook, pirated ofcoure, of this, but didn't have time to read

Good that you could read books, for me for the past few months, getting enough time to sleep has become a novelty given the early morning and late evening meetings we have to accommodate team India :mad::)

read it... i guess it'll give a new perspective to whatever you do...

The thing i miss most about my student life (yeah yeah... sadly its over) is not being able to read any books... just got into the mood day before and finished the book in one go...

During the dot.com bust, this book used to be handed out along with a pink slip! Executives wanted employees to read this book and prep them for being downsized.

Basically, the moral of the story is "Move on in life...don't get hung up over your past successes/failures!"

Hope I haven't given away the ending!

Why do I need a book to tell me to get over my past successes and faillures? I know it already -Karmanyavadi karasthey... ma faleshu kadachana...
