Manchester In-Person Book club: Who moved my Cheese by Spencer Johnson

There is ✨ An uplifting, thought-provoking morning about change, fear, and moving forward.

In this short yet powerful book, Spencer Johnson uses a simple story set in a maze to explore how we respond when life shifts unexpectedly.

Through four characters, two mice and two “Littlepeople” we gently look at:

• How we react when things change
• Why fear can keep us stuck
• The difference between resisting change and adapting to it
• How to move forward with more awareness and less stress

This book is beautifully simple, easy to read, and surprisingly profound. It opens up honest conversations about work, relationships, identity, and the changes we didn’t plan for.

What to Expect at Book Club:

☕ A warm, welcoming space

📖 Key insights and guided discussion

💭 Reflection on how change shows up in our own lives

✨ Practical takeaways to apply immediately

You don’t need to have read the book to join, curiosity and openness are more than enough.

Change happens. The question is… how do we want to meet it?
