This book contains three segments. First deals with 'A Gathering in Chicago', second with the story 'Who moved my cheese?' and last with the Discussions of the friends after the story.
THE GATHERING: One day, several former school mates gathered for lunch after their high school reunion ,happened night before. All started to speak about the changes that were happening in their life and how much they are frightened to face that. At that time, one of the friends, Michael introduced the story 'Who moved my cheese' to them.
THE STORY: There was a maze where two little mice- 'Sniff and Scurry' and two little people- 'Hem and Haw' lived. Sniff and Scurry having small brains and good instincts; Hem and Haw having complex brains and filled with many beliefs and emotions searched for the cheese station. Every morning they put jogging shoes and went to search for cheese. As the maze is so complex and have many dark areas it was so difficult to find the cheese station. At last they found the Cheese Station C. With so much of pleasure everyday morning all the four start towards the cheese station C and ate the cheese happily. Day by day the two little people got lazy as they know where the cheese is. But on one fine day, they got surprised as there is no cheese in the station. But the two little mice, not over-analyzing, having expected this situation accepted the truth and went off. But, the both little people could not accept the situation. Because the two mice watched the changes that happened in that station everyday and expected this change. Hem shouted 'Who moved my cheese?' and searched again and again in that station.
Everyday they both came and checked whether there is any cheese there as they thought some one had took it and will place it again. In the course of time, the two mice went outside and searched for new cheese station. But, being afraid of changes and to face new dark areas they came to the station everyday by saying one day there would be cheese. One fine day Haw went outside, being backed by fear and past beliefs entered the new dark side. Whether the Haw succeeded in it's try or not and whether found new station or not and what happened to Hem and Haw was the climax of the story. And how the friends got inspired of the story is the ultimate thing in the book.
