Who Moved My Cheese?

Over and over listeners are subjected to one self-help lecture after another. WHO MOVED MY CHEESE? is different! Listeners learn invaluable life lessons about "change" by way of a humorous parable narrated by Tony Roberts. His memorable interpretation of two mice and two tiny people caught in a maze (life's many paths) searching for cheese (a metaphor for your heart's desire) is gratifying and good fun. Hem and Haw, the tiny people, emulate us humans with all our faults, fears and frustrations. Roberts provides them with distinct personalities that mimic many stressed-out individuals we have grown to know. Overcoming stress and discovering successful living is the goal, and Roberts takes the listener on a curious and offbeat journey to discover the path. B.J.P. (c) AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine


This outstanding production has two parts. First comes a parable about how four whimsical characters deal with change. Next is a story about the story--a discussion among friends after a school reunion regarding how each of them reacted to the parable's lessons. Narrator Tony Roberts brings the full measure of talent and engagement that the popular story deserves--his performance is a treat to hear. Karen Ziemba's performance is equally enjoyable. Her beautiful speaking voice and total immersion in the narrative contribute substantially to the audio's impact. The timeless message is that we can wait passively for change and ignore it when it comes or we can anticipate change, adapt to it, shape it, and get excited about what it will bring into our lives.
