Who Moved My Cheese? An Amazing Way to Deal With Change in Your Work and in Your Life
|
 by Spencer Johnson, Kenneth H. Blanchard
|
ISBN: 0399144463, Paperback- $12.97 BUY
Change can be a blessing or a curse, depending on your perspective. The message of Who Moved My Cheese? is that all can come to see it as a blessing, if they understand the nature of cheese and the role it plays in their lives. Who Moved My Cheese? is a parable that takes place in a maze. Four beings live in that maze: Sniff and Scurry are mice--nonanalytical and nonjudgmental, they just want cheese and are willing to do whatever it takes to get it. Hem and Haw are "littlepeople," mouse-size humans who have an entirely different relationship with cheese. It's not just sustenance to them; it's their self-image.
Their lives and belief systems are built around the cheese they've found. Most of us reading the story will see the cheese as something related to our livelihoods--our jobs, our career paths, the industries we work in--although it can stand for anything, from health to relationships. The point of the story is that we have to be alert to changes in the cheese, and be prepared to go running off in search of new sources of cheese when the cheese we have runs out.

Thrive! Stop wishing your life away
|
 by Alan Weiss
|
ISBN: 192861115X, Hardcover- $35.00 BUY
Thrive! is the first book from best-selling author Alan Weiss to deal with self-mastery and taking control of your own life. Hundreds of pragmatic techniques help the reader avoid the victimology; mentality; accept personal accountability; identify and throw baggage off the train (even at the cost of a few cows in the countryside); build self-worth; and master the five traits which Thriving people employ. Example: You will be a ball in that strangely hypnotic Japanese game of Pachinko if you listen to...unsolicited feedback...I've seen people's dreams ruined by those who offer 'help.' It's usually not malicious (though sometimes it is), it's usually done with the intent to help, it's usually focused on 'fixing' you. And it's usually deadly. Alan Weiss takes you through specific steps and techniques he's developed and utilized with thousands of coaching and mentoring clients globally over the past 25 years. In 200 pages and one day you can begin to retrieve control of you life, your relationships, and your career, and escape the pressures trying to make you into someone else every day. George Irish, the former president of Hearst Newspapers (reviewing Alan Weiss's Life Balance) observes, (Alan Weiss)...provides a wealth of information in an engaging and thoroughly readable fashion. He shows that to be successful you don't have to just work, work, work. Learn why real wealth is discretionary time, and why so many people erode wealth by mindlessly trying to simply make money. Come to grips with TIAABB (there is always a bigger boat). Face the fact that decisions, not wishing, move you along the road to your goals. Too many people are merely trying to survive, blaming the economy, technology, the competition, their parents, their kids, or the fates. Don't waste another minute. Start Thriving!
