What to expect

For all its good intentions, Who Moved My Cheese? basically reduces us to mice in a maze sniffing after cheese. Harvard Business School professor Deepak Malhorta uses a fable involving a different set of mice in a maze—mice who question everything—to help readers see how they underestimate their ability change the rules, overcome the constraints they face, and control their own destiny. I Moved Your Cheese encourages readers to audit their assumptions about what limitations they really face and which are self-imposed or unthinkingly accepted. We can create the circumstances and realities we want—we can go beyond simply changing our behavior (find that new cheese!) to changing the game itself. But to do so we need to understand the ways we're holding ourselves back. As one of the characters in the book says, "the problem is not that the mouse is in the maze, but that the maze is in the mouse."

Critics Review

  • “An excellent book with sound lessons on how to change our circumstance and create new realities in our personal and professional lives.”

    Deepak Chopra

  • “Every once in a while a book comes along that makes you question the way things are. This is the book. Deepak Malhotra allows you to glimpse a world of your own making without the limits and barriers that others create. An excellent read.”

    Stephen R. Covey, New York Times bestselling author

  • “Deepak Malhotra tackles our assumptions about business and life with humor, zest, and wisdom in this delightful fable. If you’ve ever rankled at the thought of being just another mouse in the maze, this is the book for you.”

    Daniel H. Pink, New York Times bestselling author

  • “A magnificent story with a powerful message. As someone who has encouraged scores of professionals into breaking through the maze and defining their own pursuits, I find this to be a gem of a book. A must-read.”

    Vinod Khosla, cofounder and former CEO and chairman, Sun Microsystems, and founder, Khosla Ventures

  • “A book that will inspire the imagination of mice and managers. A formula for breaking out of the maze and creating new realities in life and in business.”

    Barry Nalebuff, cofounder of Honest Tea and coauthor of Thinking Strategically
