You're far from unique in that.  I have a hunch that Peter de 
Jager feels the same way.  Read his review of Who Moved My 
Cheese?, which he summarizes this way:

	When management moves the cheese you should not ask
	questions, you should not resist, certainly don't
	"think" and don't over analyze... just change, damn it.
	If you don't?  Then you're the problem.  Be a good
	little mouse possessing only a simple rodent brain, and
	good instincts, and accept the change without question.
	(or else...)

Peter says, "It is the first management book I've read that I 
found morally offensive."
