Who Moved My Cheese: An Amazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life
With over 2.5 million copies sold worldwide, Who Moved My Cheese? is a simple parable that reveals profound truths
It is the amusing and enlightening story of four characters who live in a maze and look for cheese to nourish them and make them happy. Cheese is a metaphor for what you want to have in life, for example a good job, a loving relationship, money or possessions, health or spiritual peace of mind. The maze is where you look for what you want, perhaps the organisation you work in, or the family or community you live in. The problem is that the cheese keeps moving.
In the story, the characters are faced with unexpected change in their search for the cheese. One of them eventually deals with change successfully and writes what he has learned on the maze walls for you to discover. You’ll learn how to anticipate, adapt to and enjoy change and be ready to change quickly whenever you need to.
Discover the secret of the writing on the wall for yourself and enjoy less stress and more success in your work and life. Written for all ages, this story takes less than an hour to read, but its unique insights will last a lifetime.
Spencer Johnson, MD, is one of the world’s leading authors of inspirational writing. He has written many New York Times bestsellers, including the worldwide phenomenon Who Moved My Cheese? and, with Kenneth Blanchard, The One Minute Manager. His works have become cultural touchstones and are available in 40 languages.

Why Does The Pedlar Sing?: What Creativity Really Means in Advertising
Throughout history, selling and entertainment have gone hand in hand – from the medieval pedlar and the medicine show, to generations of TV commercials featuring song and dance, comedy, and cartoon animals, right up to today s celebrities who launch their own multi-million dollar brands. There are good reasons for this; we now understand better than ever before the psychological and sociological reasons why apparent frivolity creates serious business benefits.
And yet the advertising business today seems reluctant to embrace its powerful links with popular culture. Misled on one side by managerial myths of rationality and logic, and on the other by a cultish misunderstanding of creativity , it risks forgetting how to appeal to the public, and how to build successful brands. As a result, evidence suggests, today s advertising is less liked and less effective than ever before.
But it is not too late to reverse this trend. Advertisers and agencies who read this book will rediscover why the pedlar sings, and despite what we ve all been told, why people do buy from clowns. They will be inspired to make their advertising more popular, more famous, more fun again and much more effective.
This is a fabulous book. …It is possibly the book I would most highly recommend to anyone in marketing. Rory Sutherland, Vice Chairman, OgilvyRead more

Prospect’s Best Books of the YearPoliticians are consistently voted the least trusted professional group by the UK public. They’ve recently become embroiled in scandals relating to everything from expenses to sexual harassment to illicit parties. Every year, they introduce new legislation that doesn’t do what it sets out to achieve – often with terrible financial and human costs. But, with some notable exceptions, they are decent, hard-working people, doing a hugely difficult and demanding job.
In this searching examination of our political class, award-winning journalist Isabel Hardman tries to square this circle. She lifts the lid on the strange world of Westminster and asks why we end up with representatives with whom we are so unhappy. Filled with forensic analysis and revealing reportage, this landmark and accessible book is a must read for anyone who wants to see a future with better government.
‘This book has the power to fundamentally change how we do things in this country.’
Emily Maitlis
‘An entertaining read that addresses hard questions… invaluable for those who think they know what’s wrong with Westminster but have no idea how to put it right.’

‘So inspiring, so heartfelt … the way Donna writes is beyond beautiful.’ Lisa Snowdon
‘Some people have the Bible by their bed. Others a self help manual. I have Donna Ashworth’s new poetry collection.’ Susannah Constantine

Winning!: The path to Rugby World Cup glory
‘There is so much more to the man than single-minded determination.’ Sunday Telegraph
‘His first day in the job of England coach is superbly described, and thereafter he is forever going the extra yard to make his team great.’ Sunday Times
__________Winning! tells a remarkable story – an unforgettable journey that began in September 1997 and took the English Rugby Team team from the lower ranks of international first-class rugby to the top as World Cup Champions.
Sir Clive Woodward and his team mounted a campaign of vast change, great learning, team building and clear vision to achieve their aim. ‘We would question everything, change anything and leave no stone unturned,’ he writes.
WINNING! will talk about the team’s journey of innovation and discovery and will reveal exactly how it happened, the fundamentals of their success and how these principles can be applied to any human endeavour. ‘We changed the way we coached, the way we played and, of equal importance, how we operated off the field.’ Bringing his business management skills to the game, Woodward simplified the entire approach to the structure of the team and created new management systems both on and off the pitch.
In an anecdotal style, Clive Woodward entertains and informs while he describes the thrilling build-up to England’s World Cup triumph in 2003.
