'An amazing way to deal with change in your work and in your life'
The cover alone would have put me off reading this little 'self help' book, with endorsements by various newspapers and big bold text telling me that it's sold over 24 million copies! But about four people at work had been singing it's praises....and it's only very short.
So short in fact that it only took me about an hour to read - more of an article than a book.
The basic premise of the book is that it uses a short parable about four characters in a maze looking for cheese to show how we can better deal with change in our lives.
So, learn how you deal with change, which one of the characters you are and how you can change to be one of the others - very few of us are one of the two mice; Sniff who sniffs out change early, or Scurry who scurries into action. Many more of us are more like one of the Littlepeople; Hem, who denies and resists changea he fears it will lead to something worse; or like Haw, who learns to adapt when he sees that change to lead to something better.
A very interesting book, an excellent way of getting across a simple message, which really we all know - but fear!
