Who Moved My Cheese? by Spencer Johnson

A Timeless Story About Dealing with Change

Who Moved My Cheese? is one of the most beloved and bestselling books of all time — a simple yet profound parable about navigating change in work and life.

The story follows four characters living in a maze: two mice named Sniff and Scurry, and two little people named Hem and Haw. All four are on a quest for cheese — a metaphor for the things we want most in life, whether that's a fulfilling career, a loving relationship, financial security, or peace of mind.

When the cheese unexpectedly disappears, each character reacts differently. Their responses reveal timeless truths about how we handle change — and how we can learn to embrace it rather than fear it.
