Who Moved my Cheese by Spencer Johnson

About this episode

The episode discusses Spencer Johnson's book 'Who Moved My Cheese' and its themes of adapting to change.

Personal goals, career goals, squad goals, any and all of it can be considered "The Cheese." But what happens when someone moves the cheese? What wildly oversimplified options do you have? Well Spencer Johnson lays it all out in this tiny little business fable about adapting to change and the very literal rat race. Mean Book Club is four ladies (UCB, BuzzFeed, College Humor, Impractical Jokers) who read, discuss and whine about NYT bestselling books that have questionable literary merit. It's fun. It's cathartic. It's perfect for your commute. New podcast (almost) every Tuesday! Here’s the Season 20 reading list: The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld We Were Liars by E.
