A nova edição de um dos maiores sucessos do mercado editorial brasileiro em todos os tempos. Spencer Johnson criou uma história divertida e esclarecedora sobre quatro personagens – dois ratos e dois humanos do mesmo tamanho dos roedores que vivem em um labirinto, numa eterna procura por queijo, que os alimenta e os faz felizes. O queijo é uma metáfora daquilo que se deseja na vida, seja um bom emprego, um relacionamento amoroso, dinheiro, saúde ou paz espiritual. O labirinto é o local onde as pessoas procuram por isso: a empresa onde se trabalha, a família ou a comunidade na qual se vive. Nesta história, os personagens se deparam com mudanças inesperadas. Um deles é bem-sucedido e escreve o que aprendeu com sua experiência entre as paredes do labirinto. Suas palavras ensinam a lidar com a mudança para viver com menos estresse e ter mais sucesso no trabalho e na vida pessoal. Escrito para pessoas de todas as idades, Quem mexeu no meu queijo? é uma leitura rápida, mas que traz ensinamentos que vão permanecer por toda a vida.

Qui a piqué mon fromage ? n''est pas du tout une histoire pour les enfants. Cet ouvrage, numéro un des ventes aux États-Unis pendant des mois et traduit en dix-huit langues, est bien un ouvrage de management : les PME comme les multinationales en ont fait leur vade-mecum pour salariés stressés, et les médecins le recommandent à leurs patients.Sous ce titre humoristique se cache une fable sur le monde contemporain, un monde en changement perpétuel. Comprendre que le changement est inévitable, et s''adapter à ce changement, telle est, selon Spencer Johnson, la clé du bonheur. La parabole est simple : deux souris et deux hommes sont dans un labyrinthe, et leur fromage a disparu. Comment vont-ils réagir pour retrouver ce fromage symbolique : place dans l''entreprise, dans la famille, dans la société... La morale de cette histoire est illustrée par une postface décrivant la réaction d''un groupe à l''écoute de ce conte. Cet ouvrage grand public est avant tout un outil d''initiation aux problématiques du management. L''humour en plus. --Cyril Demaria

Un sistema perfectamente aplicable tanto al ámbito profesional como al de la vida privada.

Quien desee potenciar las habilidades que le permitirán tomar mejores decisiones le sacará el máximo partido al sistema propuesto en Sí o No, y que ha sido puesto en práctica en un sinnúmero de importantes compañías norteamericanas.
