Who Moved My Cheese? A Self-Help Examination
             Two mice, Sniff and Scurry, Two "littlepeople", a giant maze, and cheese; what do these things all have in common? The answer, they are all elements of the self-help book entitled "Who Moved My Cheese?" by Spencer Johnson, M.D. and Kenneth Blanchard, Ph. D.

In the story the mice and the littlepeople must adapt to and overcome changes in order to make it through the "maze" of life in order to find the "cheese" they must have in order to survive and be happy.
             In the third section, A Discussion, people discuss what the story meant to them and how they are going to use it in their work and their lives, both private and professional. These ranged from, children getting used to living in a new place and starting new intimate relationships, to working in order to receive a promotion and gaining a new position at work.
