In this episode of Read By Ed, I review Who Moved My Cheese by Dr. Spencer Johnson, a classic story that teaches powerful lessons about dealing with change in work and life. I recently listened to this book on the Libby app while traveling, and it turned out to be one of the most impactful short reads I have ever gone through.

This simple story follows four characters Sniff, Scurry, Hem, and Haw as they navigate a maze in search of cheese. Their reactions to unexpected change mirror so much of what we face in our careers, relationships, routines, and everyday life.

Here are my 3 biggest takeaways from Who Moved My Cheese:

What would you do if you were not afraid
Fear often keeps us standing still. This question pushed Haw forward and it pushed me to reflect on the areas where I need to move too.

If you do not change you can become extinct
Staying stuck in old patterns can drain you. Sometimes the new thing you need is already in front of you, even if it looks different from what you expected.

Expect change and look for it
Change is constant. Instead of resisting it, we need to smell the cheese often, adapt quickly, and stay ready for what is next.

This book is a quick but powerful reminder that change is always coming. The question is how we respond to it. If you want to read it for yourself, check out the link in the show notes.
