摘要作者斯宾塞•约翰逊是世界上最具影响力的思想家和最受欢迎的作家之一。作者的十本国际畅销书包括《谁动了我的奶酪?》。超过4000万份约翰逊博士的书被印刷出版成42种语言。《谁动了我的奶酪?》是一个有趣的和具启发性的故事,讲述的是四个“人物”居住在一个迷宫里靠寻找奶酪来滋养他们,使他们感到幸福。奶酪是一种代表着人生中人们所追求的目标——它可以是稳定的工作,和谐的人际关系,金钱或财产,健康或精神心灵的安宁。迷宫在这里就是追求他（她）们想要东西的场所——他（她）们在工作的企业,或者是他（她）们生活的家庭或是他（她）们居住的社区。
作者擅长用简单有效的手法分析解决问题。在作者的书中,作者总是创造一个有需求的群体,继而是传授人们如何处理危机、如何应对信息时代的变化。“奶酪”就是一个典型的例子。《谁动了我的奶酪?》给出了一个发生在学校里变化的例子。继而它向读者展示如何预测变化,如何快速地适应变化,如何享受变化以及如何应对一次又一次的快速变化的方式和理据。因为，只有变化才是亘古不变的现实存在。发现挖掘变化的秘密和学习如何应对变化,这样人们才会遭受更少的压力,期待工作和生活上的更大的成功。写给所有年龄层,这个故事需要不到一个小时的阅读,但其独到的见解可以使人受益终生。
