In fact, this book was written by one of the best authors who has helped millions of people discover
simple truths they can use to enjoy healthier lifestyles. The book delivers unique insights and phrases
helping the reader deal with stress and changes of everyday life. Dr. Spencer Johnson has changed the
lives of many people whether it is struggling in a job or getting a peace of mind. There also is a very
tricky part to this book, and that is how the author uses metaphors throughout the book. For example
the word “cheese” is a metaphor used for a decent job, a loving relationship, money, a possession,
health, or peace of mind. Basically the story is about two mice named Sniff and Scurry and two “little
people” named Hem and Haw. In the story all of the characters live in a maze, which is a metaphor for
where you look for what you want, or the family or community you live in. The characters are faced with
unexpected changes. Eventually, Haw deals with the change successfully and writes about his journey
and how he accomplished it.

For this reason, the four characters undergo one of the biggest turn points in their lives. The four had
found a great deal of cheese. They thought they had enough cheese forever and ever, but time based by
and the cheese got shorter and shorter. Eventually, they ran out of cheese. The two mice went to go
look for more yet the two little people waited for more cheese to come. The cheese never came and the
little people become arrogant and selfish. This book makes the reader reflect on his or her own personal
life. Many people have benefited from reading this book such as corporations, governmental agencies,
small businesses, churches and schools and hospitals. In fact, the whole first section of the book is filled
with how people solved their problems after reading this 94-page book. The book also describes what
types of change there are. For example losing your job, or your company shutting down. The little
phrases used in the book guide you to settle your perfect future. The phrases are the key parts to the
book, since they teach you how to handle the future. Many peoples future would be to have a successful
career and a caring family.

Similarly, This book is an amazing way to deal with success in your work and in your life. The book put
emphasis on using what you learned for day-to-day life. The most important parts to this book were the
phrases the author used. Some of the phrases were: what would you do if you weren’t afraid, the
quicker you let go of old cheese the sooner you find new cheese, if you do not change you can become
extinct, and much more. The last section of the book is a group having a discussion about the book. They
relate the book to their personal lives, and discover ways to get better at turning change into a good
thing.

Overly, this book was well written. Dr. Johnson clearly stated how change affects every on and can be a
positive thing. This book demonstrates the ability to turn a persons life around. I recommend this book
for people struggling with change in their lives.
