- Who Moved my Cheese by Spencer Johnson
“The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.” Robert Burns
Life doesn’t always turn out the way we think it will. When change happens, a lot of us have a natural tendency to resist that change. Why? Simply put, we are afraid of change. Change represents the unknown which challenges our sense of safety and security.
Who Moved my Cheese? is a very simple story about change. It’s about seeing change, anticipating change, and adapting to change. Now, that sounds incredibly boring, but luckily the author, Spencer Johnson, has put a cool little twist on a boring topic and has interwoven the lessons of change into the story of 4 characters: 2 mice named Sniff and Scurry and 2 little people (the same size as mice) named Hem and Haw.
These 4 characters represent parts of us - they represent the simple and complex within each of us. As Spencer put it: “Sometimes we may act like Sniff who sniffs out change early, or Scurry who scurries into action, or Hem who denies and resists change as he fears it will lead to something worse, or Haw who learns to adapt in time when he sees changing can lead to something better!”

Thank you for summarizing this in a digestible way quickly. ❤
Funny. I sent this summary to a friend because this book has helped me in my early years. I didn't realize that it was me who needed to hear it again.
Thanks for the wonderful animation,it's great.
Me too
I lived in a unstable childhood but with great parents. We moved all the time and lots of changes happened so it lead me to have my excitement towards change and one of my mottos
“Treat life like a blackjack deck, don’t judge you next hand by your last”
I then had a nervous breakdown that filled me with anxiety. Now every change and next move freeze me. Have spent the last six years trying to reach me old mindset and slowly getting less scared of being in the world.
Only constant in the world is change! A very important message, delivered so well in 12 minutes. Love the animation, love the clear and succinct commentary.
Thank you very much! Glad you liked it :)

In the past 21 years this book has changed me and my perspective towards my fellow beings

Progress is impossible without CHANGE. If you want something you have never had, then you have got to do something you have never done 🖖
Well said, I'll check out your channel!

You said exactly what I was going to say 🙌👍
Really? Like? 😊😮
I’ve never heard anyone highlight the significance of laughing at yourself. That is so crucial and it’s a giant impediment for those that can’t do it.
I laugh at myself and lay myself out of I do something stupid 👍
I read this book every 5 years and get something new out of it each time!

True if the change in question is a matter of survival..

I read the book as one of the recommended books for my Master in Special Education over 10years ago! But this animated video of the book makes the book more simpler and succinctly summarized! Thanks for this good work!
Thanks Eunice!
I was given this book when I worked for a major Gas Company. It has stayed with me in my heart for over 20 years. I think it's a very valuable book to give to employees who are not willing to change to give themselves a chance to think and also to those who you think might make better Management in the future. Luckily, I was one of the ones that they expected to become management (and have always been, since then). Had I not chosen to seek out my cheese, I would not be where I am today.
One of the best have read! The animation version makes it clearer. Thank you
Excellent food for thought! Let's embrace Change... Thank you so much!
Credit Of the story goes to the writer of course, but i was very happy by the way you made this summary. Thank you!
This channel is a blessing for mankind
I read the book years ago. (like 30). You did an outstanding job making it interesting and to the point. Well done. Thanks!
Hi do u have instagram
I love your short version of this book.
I remember reading this book almost 20 years ago. It made little sense then. 😢 Now the lessons are crystal clear. 😮
As a good buddy of mine recently said, “We all mature at different points in our lives.” 😊😅
A wonderful animated summary delivering some great lessons for life !
Got done reading the book today and then came across this video. Great job summarizing the book!
this is such a great video summary! you put out great contents all the time and thank you!
Thanks Lily, I appreciate your constant support! :)
Read this book 18ish years ago. And just bought 2 copies to give to friends. Eye opening. This video sums much of book up and is truly life changing
Who who moved my cheese is an absolute management classic
Agreed! Such a short little book too! I love how it's not boring either
@@wisdom-for-life ❤️
A clever metaphor for adapting to change and direction to achieve what you want from life whether it be your personal life or in the workplace.
Your explanation was EXCELLENT!!!!
THANKS for being so accurate!!!
I LOVE that book! Since I am a visual person, this artistic rendering of stories is one of my favorite ways to learn. Thank you!
When your company has everyone watch this movie, it's time to get your resume in shape because the cheese is your paycheck, and the cheese station is your job.
Nothing changes if nothing changes
7:58 There is no evidence in the story to think the little people are smarter. Great video! 👍
True that.. I was paraphrasing the author
Although, Smarter does not always mean wiser 😁
Change is in the air... Thank you!
Trrruuuee! Thanks for stopping by Leila

Thank you for the videos. i truly appreciate it, informative and inspirational. pls post more videos like this and the 7habits. been watching it on repeat. thanks again!

Thank you for the review, I really enjoyed it. Haven’t read this book in YEARS!!!!❤
About to grab one
1. Never give your old cheese away in anticipation of finding new cheese.
2. Never turn down cheese offered to you, even if you already have too much.
3. Never turn down cheese offered to you just because you've never seen that kind before and have no idea what to do with it.
4. When someone brings unfamiliar cheese to you, your response should be "I've done this many times".
5. Don't let anyone else know you've found some cheese.
6. Don't share your cheese.Cheese can go away at any time without notice, hence #5.
7. Cheese can go bad at any time. When this happens, disregard #5 and go ahead and share your cheese. An added benefit of this is that it will appear as if you're finding cheese for others and you'll be a hero.
8. Do not ask for tools (e.g. software, or a computer that is at least as fast as the secretary's) that will help you bring in new cheese.
9. Do not expect your management to find you cheese. You are expected to find the cheese.
10. Be careful. Just because it looks like cheese and/or smells like cheese, it may not actually be cheese.
11. If you run out of cheese you'll be assigned to do self-assessments until you learn not to run out of cheese.
12. The self-assessments will take all of your time so you will not be able to look for new cheese.
13. Did you ever think that maybe they keep moving the cheese because they don't want you to find it?
✨
Thank you!
I'm so confused...
"Smell the cheese often so you know when it is getting old" 🦉
Excellent break down of the book!
Thank you for commenting. Glad you enjoyed the video!
I read this book many years ago, I personally find the contents of this book still relevant for me today.
Great book and you're visual is spot on!
23 yrs ago smith and nephew wound care division in Largo, Florida gave us this book. Soon after that they took the s to the Ritz Carlton in Cancun and said we were going to reapply for our jobs when we get home. I couldn’t enjoy myself at the Ritz. I wasn’t laid off then but waiting at home for 2 weeks for the call to see if we had our job still was so agonizing. I was nt laid off then but a year and a half later there was another. That is the most polite any company laid people off. Today they dump people from narcisstic gaslighters who lie. Any one else see the trend of the very bad people stay?
Thank you so much! It's much more easier for me to write reflection about this movie. Your explanation video help me a lot.
I found my cheese in Thailand. I moved here with one checked bag and my computer backpack (a 26-hour flight). I love it here. My condo costs $207/month (less than $250/month with utilities, as I run the AC 24/7). I made a video of my condo.
Timely reminder for me! Thanks for the succinct summary! :)
Any one knows which websites can do this type of videos, please ?
Bro it's a great story. You put it very well. Its a great story and it puts you in your in your place. And it's so true that's the point. Its a children's story but impacts us all... Ty
An excellent summary of a classic book. We have two choices. Believe that change will harm us or believe that change will help us. The latter gives us more power.
Thanks! And thanks for dropping some knowledge!
Hi

Does it really? I think this 12 min video shows that mankind is going down a path of destruction. To see change as something good is a false statement. To remove ones human emotions and beliefs is to lower ones self to mice searching for cheese. Who makes the decision of what should change and when? Why doesnt this video point out that important peace of information. We are human beings made by god and our emotions and beliefs and faith are what we must never loose else we will turn into rats looking for cheese.
Thanks you made the main points of the book really clear.
Love your animation and great job simplifying the summary!
just finished reading the book! Thank you for this video!
Good way to dissect and animate the life lesson
The wheel... the wheel hasn't changed it thousands of years but, we have changed the way we use it like the wheel of a cart is now the wheel that powers a conveyor belt or the wind will is a water turbine or a gyro in a guidance system.
Another thought provoking video. Thanks!
Thanks! :D
That was awesome interpretation and defining 🙌🏽🤞🏽🤝🤝🤝Thank you for posting as well 👍
Simple and very well narrated, especially with cartoon graphics and typed lines makes it more lucrative and easy to understand. Good job.. keep it going like sniff and scurry 👍🎈😅
Thanks Shaajz! :)
spoiler alert: hem is dead of hunger :D. keep doing what your doing man, your CHANGING lives for the better!!!!!
Fantastic summary of Who Moved My Cheese?
I learned about Who Moved My Cheese? at my last job where the executive team got a 5 year client contract. Believe that change can help you. Instead of sleeping late tomorrow, I am going to change my routine to find something better. *******This management classic is also taught in college courses. Don't be scared and adapt to change with this 2020 pandemic.
Lol my boss gave the whole department a talk on this book with PowerPoint back in 2003 a week before the layoff started.
Kind of him
Great reminder of this book and its message especially now with the COVID pandemic. The future is still uncertain as the cheese keeps moving in the maze.
I love Thanksgiving, too!!! We all have so much to be thankful for and Thanksgiving is just looked over and Halloween just takes over.
I have read the book, but it didn't stay in my collection when I moved, so I need to recollect it. Great animation, and explained concisely. Thank you 😊.
Nicely done!
Thank you so so much! This summary was great, you taught me a lot and even saved me 11 Euro :)
The one idea conveniently left out of Who Moved My Cheese? is that YOU can also move the cheese. And you don't have to feel any worse about it than they do.
That's an interesting take. I like the idea - I think it could be a book all by itself. To me, Who Moved My Cheese, is more about adapting when the circumstances are beyond your control. Now, when it is within your control, that's a whole different book - Move Your Own Dang Cheese! by Argetno Thanks for commenting!
Wow, this was amazing!
Thats a good book, with some great msg. The video is giving out the messages in a very simple way. I am sure just like reading the book, if we refer to hr video again it will keep giving out the messages always. Thanks.
Ang ganda ngpagkakagawa ng video! Salamat @wisdom for Life!
We're on the road
We move from place to place
And oftentimes when I'm about to call it home
We'd have to move along
Life is a constant change
The friends we know we meet along the way
Too soon the times we share form part of yesterday
'Cause life's a constant change
And nothing stays the same, oh, no
Clouds that move across the skies
Are changing form before our very eyes
Why couldn't we keep time from movin' on?
Hold on to all the years before this moment's gone?
Why must we live the days at such a frightening pace?
We're all like clouds that move across the skies
And changing form before our very eyes
Have we outgrown our Peter Pans and wings?
We've simply grown too old for tales of knights and kings
'Cause life's a constant change
And nothing stays the same
Oh, no
Its too good
Very well done and explained.
Thank you so much for this. This video just gave me the "nudge" that I need.
Thank you. and good luck :)
Great I'll have to get book.
Changes is constant and you do have to adapt.
Thanks
Thank you for this beautiful summary🥰
I love so much this book
Thanks Gh RT!
well said.. nice vidz easy to understand .. Change will adopt if a person feel comfortable
Thank you, it was great listening to the review. I enjoyed and learnt a lot. A request if possible: Please try to be a bit slow in speaking.
This vid is incredible tbh
I remember being a 13 year old reading who moved my cheese. I was too young to understand what management was but I could understand the lessons in it. Today, 7 years later I came back to this somehow. I am a biotech engineer hoping to move into management. In retrospect, I do see my child self reading and gathering management skills. I am glad I was an avid reader and perhaps the reason I remember the story is because of the author's efforts into making it interesting enough for a 13 year old. Loved this summary! Thank you!
" biotech engineer" at 20 years old? I doubt it.
Well done! Thank you!!!
Watching this for business class
I was sniff/scurry till 22 then became Hem and am using this to continue my transition into Haw ! This helped so much !!
...isn't sniff and scurry supposed to be better than Hem?
Plenty of cheese will be moved in this decade. Many will not be able or willing to adjust, others will. Then there are those capable of moving the cheese.
Beautiful and well put.
Loved it! It totally broadened my perspective & yes, I surely laughed at myself😂
Ndim lowo...That time that book was issued by management at work boma last week...😎😎😎
Thanks for the video!!!
Thanks. Great animation
Thank you for useful content!
My job required me to read this. And now I'm applying it to my own life and not my job
I want another job now and I shouldn't be scared of change
ty I needed this for an essay, I have ADHD and the audio books are all in robot voices.
yikes! Hope you can find a hard copy. It's a very short read
My business was going well for the past 3 years, then Elon ruined it.
Basically he moved my cheese.
I reacted like Hem at first, now I'm embracing my inner Haw and accepted that the cheese is gone, it's time to find new cheese, and I'm trying my best to remain hopeful and optimistic about the new possibilities.
Good luck and hang in there Alvin!
Thank you
Wow explained so well ❤
Can you please give pdf for this work?

I read the book today and while searching for Book Summary, i found your video. It was well designed in a visual way to create ever lasting impression. Many Thanks for your contribution towards the society. May i know what software you used to create this animation content ? Thanks a lot.
Thank you. Yes, videoscribe is the software I use.
9:53 I miss the character of my boss:
Sees opportunity for change, let's call it Trend. Forces change even if it does not lead to something better.
all praise tzeentch god of Change!
FSR said you have nothing to fear but fear itself.......
Change is the rule of nature, nature changes slowly people's changes rapidly. Keep changing your self.
Thanks for dropping a comment !
Great summary thanks!
I guess I'm a bit of a Haw, I have worked with so many people in municipal government that will change poorly or just for the sake of it. I am cautious. I will adapt and even embrace the change once it is communicated well or pass a proof of concept.
Love it. Thanks.
I must be naive, because although in general terms I may agree with the philosophy sustaining this principle . I also believe that you need a certain energy if not ambition to do that. At the age of 70 for example, you have a moderately quiet and comfortable life should one revolutionize his existence in search of the unreachable or the unattainable? Can someone comfort with an educated opinion or advice. Thnx
Thanks to all. In spite of the fact that most of the arguments are valid, pertinent, and true. They don't necessarily conflict with the idea That one can live in complete serenity without feeling the need to update his game in order to blend in an environment that is alien to him/her
Why do I feel like this is also a little kid version of the gold rush in the early years
Great video👍
good one!
Thanks! Hey, I have a twin.
Hey, Thanks for this Video. Really liking your content :)
Just wanted to know what's the average RPM of your channel?
