This document summarizes a book about two types of mice - Sniff and Scurry who are simple mice that follow routines, and Hem and Haw who have complex brains and think before taking action. When the cheese is removed from their maze, Sniff and Scurry immediately go farther into the maze to search while Hem and Haw analyze the situation and delay searching, waiting for a miracle. The document also includes sections about the author, a spectrum of acceptance of change, and lessons about managing change.
