The FISH! philosophy is a workplace management system created by John Christensen. The system was first published as a film, with a spin-off series of books. The central concepts of the system were inspired by the observed work culture at Seattle's Pike Place Fish Market.

CRITICISM
In a video on YouTube, "Pike Place Hates FISH! Philosophy", a Pike Place Market employee informs his interviewer that the FISH! philosophy does not represent Pike Place, stating, "The guys that work here don't actually like the FISH! videos." The employee states that they "put on a show" for the maker of the FISH! video for three days, and implies it's not possible to work all year round in such a way. Some employees find these techniques ridiculous and demeaning. They contend that the idea of 'choosing your attitude' is naive and can be alienating for those with mental health problems such as depression, for whom a negative attitude is an affliction rather than a straightforward choice.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has.
---Margaret Mead
