Ready or Not...

Change Happens
A decade ago, Spencer Johnson's Who Moved My Cheese? was a runaway bestseller. Still popular, the book tells the story of two mice and two humans who live in a maze until someone moves... their... cheese. Change ensues, at first none too happily, but is eventually embraced.

Dr. Johnson is back with another bestseller, Peaks and Valleys: Making Good and Bad Times Work for You -- In Work and in Life. In this book, a young man who lives unhappily in a valley meets an old man who lives (you guessed it) happily on a peak. More about how to change than change itself, Johnson's latest may provide inspiration in these challenging times.

Both books are quick reads and represent pop-psychology at its best.
