Who moved your cheese?

The most influential book I read in 2022 is “Who moved my Cheese?”.

It’s not a fancy book. It’s not written by a famous writer. It’s not long: it takes less than one hour to finish it. It’s a simple story, and you get a lot out of it. The magic of this book: you can read it at different stages of your life and find a new meaning.

If you are trying to cope with the loss of a loved one, a career change, a romantic breakup, or a tough financial situation, this book is a great metaphor for overcoming these issues.

We always try to blame others for our failures and stay paralyzed until a solution magically comes. But we fail to look in the mirror. Too often, the cause of the failure is ourselves, and instead of having an honest critique of our actions and starting to fix our problems, we blame others.

Nobody is going to save you. And even if someone does, it will be at your expense, one way or another.

There is no point in wondering who moved your cheese. The only thing to do is start acting now and find the cheese you like.
