Who Moved My Cheese?
Book • 1998
The book tells the story of four characters—two mice named Sniff and Scurry, and two 'Littlepeople' named Hem and Haw—living in a maze and searching for their favorite cheese.
When the cheese at their usual spot, Cheese Station C, disappears, the mice adapt quickly and find new cheese at Cheese Station N. However, the Littlepeople struggle with change, with Hem refusing to move and Haw eventually embracing the need to adapt.
The story serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of complacency and the importance of embracing change to succeed in both personal and professional life.
