Amanda's Reviews > Who Moved My Soap?: The CEO's Guide to Surviving Prison: The Bernie Madoff Edition

In 2002 the book "Who Moved My Cheese" became a national bestseller. It had CEOs everywhere praising literature. It had my dad giving me an enthusiastic book review during the drive home. It had lessons about coping with change in the workplace.

I ended up at Uncle Bob's house a few years later and was sitting alone in his basement with nothing to do. The coffee table was a messy shelf of magazines, and one book: Who Moved my Chees? I devoured it in a few hours. Hem and Haw moved their way into my impressionable heart and into my dad/daughter conversation repertoire.

So at work this book came accross the desk, and it seemed relevant in so many ways. It took me four chapters to realize that is was not real, that it had been written by a humor columnist. It took me ten chapters to stop feeling angry. The whole thing was rather trivializing, and I can't stand for that kind of nonsense. Especially this close to home.
