Episode 8:Unwelcome Change and Review of Who Moved My Cheese

Greetings Humor Consumers!

This is episode 8 on the topic of "Unwanted Change." We review the classic book Who Moved My Cheese? by Spencer Johnson, M.D.

We discuss...

• Summary of Who Moved My Cheese?
• Cheese is a metaphor for what we really want in life whether it's a relationship, career, money, lifestyle or something else.
• Four characters in the story: Sniff, Scurry, Hem and Haw. Sniff and Scurry are mice with simple brains and Hem and Haw are tiny people who are the same size as mice but they have complex brains and emotions. In the story, the cheese is permanently moved from Cheese Station C where the four characters live and Sniff and Scurry get to work right away looking for more cheese elsewhere in the maze. Hem and Haw spend their time overthinking the situation and letting their emotions rule the day. 
• Fear is responsible for Hem and Haw hemming and hawing. The author asks: What would you do if you're not afraid? The author points out that: When you move beyond your fear, you feel free!
• Handwriting on the wall: The book talks about clues that things are changing and if one is looking for these clues, it can set you up to be in a better position to adapt to the change.
• Process of Change and Tips to Cope: CrisisNetwork.org
• Serenity Prayer
• Romans 12:2
