Book Description
Había una vez dos ratoncitos y dos hombrecillos que vivían en un laberinto. Estos cuatro personajes dependían del queso para alimentarse y ser felices. Como habían encontrado una habitación repleta de queso, vivieron durante un tiempo muy contentos. Pero un buen día el queso desapareció...
Esta fábula simple e ingeniosa puede aplicarse a todos los ámbitos de la vida. Con palabras y ejemplos comprensibles incluso para un niño, nos enseña que todo cambia, y que las fórmulas que sirvieron en su momento pueden quedar obsoletas. El "queso" del relato representa cualquier cosa que queramos alcanzar "la felicidad, el trabajo, el dinero, el amor" y el laberinto es la realidad, con zonas desconocidas y peligrosas, callejones sin salida, oscuros recovecos... y habitaciones llenas de queso.
Escrito por un autor de fama internacional, este relato está prologado por un renombrado consultor empresarial. Sus enseñanzas han servido de inspiración en todo tipo de compañías y organizaciones empresariales.

Lectura Obligada.......2005-09-16
Ayer leí el libro "¿Quién se ha llevado mi queso?" de Spencer Jonson. Es un libro muy corto, cuya lectura no es tediosa en absoluto. Se puede leer fácilmente en una hora, o máximo dos horas.
La esencia del libro es una fábula en la que intervienen cuatro personajes: dos ratoncitos y dos hombrecillos que vivían en un laberinto.
Los cuatro personajes necesitan queso para poder alimentarse y para ser felices, por lo que recorren el laberinto en busca de queso.
Un día encontraron un almacén con abundancia de queso, por lo que vivieron durante un tiempo sin preocuparse, y muy felices. Entonces, el queso desapareció.
Los cuatro personajes, que en realidad representen las partes simples y complejas del ser humano, se ven en la necesidad de encontrar nuevo queso.
Las ideas principales que esta fábula expone son las siguientes:
* El cambio ocurre (el queso no cesa de moverse)
* Anticípate al cambio (prepárate para cuando se mueva el queso)
* Controla el cambio (olfatea el queso con frecuencia para saber cuándo se vuelve rancio)
* Adáptate al cambio con rapidez (cuanto más rápidamente te olvides del queso viejo, antes podrás disfrutar del queso nuevo)
* Cambia (muévete con el queso)
* ¡Disfruta del cambio! (saborea la aventura y disfruta del sabor del queso nuevo)
* Prepárate para cambiar con rapidez y para disfrutarlo una y otra vez (el queso no cesa de moverse)
Como se pueden dar cuenta, los principios expuestos en la fábula son muy simples y sencillos, pero muchas veces nos olvidamos de ellos, o simplemente no los queremos aplicar, porque eso implicaría que saliéramos de nuestra zona de confort.
No pueden dejar de leer este libro. Es una cuestión de cambiar o morir.
Overcome the Wishful Thinking Stall.......2004-09-14
While the world changes ever more rapidly and with wider volatility, many people continue to wish (in vain) for constancy. People will probably never lose their desire for predictability, but acting as though no change is happening can be very harmful.
While we can all relate to this problem intellectually, Who Moved My Cheese? brings to bear the all-to-human emotions that keep us from taking timely, appropriate actions. As you read this book, you will experience those emotions and recognize their power. This will help you the next time you experience these emotions, because you will realize what you are doing. By making you consciously aware of your wishful thinking, you should be better able to overcome it.
I hope that Dr. Johnson goes on to write sequels to this book that deal with all of the major stalls that people are subject to: Disbelief, Miscommunications, Procrastination, Avoiding Ugliness, Defensiveness, Tradition, Misconception, Bureaucracy, Directionlessness, Helplessness, Xenophobia, Over-Optimism, Covering-Up, and Taking on Excess Volatility.
If you read this book from a literal perspective, you will probably not get too much benefit. Try to imagine yourself as each of the characters. It'll work better that way.
Enjoy!
Simple, pero lleno de verdades que no queremos ver........2003-09-21
La historia del libro es jocosa y me ayudo a ver como en el pasado yo enfrente los cambios: en el trabajo, con mi familia, con los amigos... Se que me ayudara a enfrentar los cambios del futuro y a no cometer los mismos errores.
Useless, stupid.......2003-06-11
Anyone who is reading me is able to adapt to technology. Do we need a stupid book to tell us so?
Una Fabula deja mas.......2003-02-04
Pobre literatura y muchas vueltas y palabras para algo tan simple. Cuesta trabajo acabar el librillo de lo aburrida que es la trama. Todo el libro se puede resumir en unas cuantas páginas no en un libro.

Quién se ha llevado mi queso?

Buffett, the Bard of Omaha, is a genuine American folk hero, if folk heroes are allowed to build fortunes worth upward of $15 billion. He's great at homespun metaphor, but behind those catchy phrases is a reservoir of financial acumen that's generally considered the best of his generation. For example, in an essay on CEO stock options, he writes, "Negotiating with one's self seldom produces a barroom brawl." This is his way of saying that an executive who can give himself compensation totally disproportionate to his performance surely will. There are uncountable gems of financial wisdom to be harvested from these essays, taken from the annual reports he writes for Berkshire Hathaway, his holding company. Just to pick one more, here's a now-famous line about those he competes with when making stock-market investments: "What could be more advantageous in an intellectual contest--whether it be chess, bridge, or stock selection--than to have opponents who have been taught that thinking is a waste of energy?"
While Buffett has a policy of seldom commenting on stocks he owns--he feels public pronouncements will only lead to the public's expectation of more public pronouncements, and he likes to keep his cards close to his vest--he loves to discuss the principles behind his investments. These come primarily from Ben Graham, under whom Buffett studied at Columbia University and for whom he worked in the 1950s. First among them is the idea that price is what you pay and value is what you get--and if you're a smart investor, the first will always be less than the second. In that sense, the value of the lessons learned from Buffett's Essays could be far greater than the book's price. --Lou Schuler
Book Description
The definitive work concerning Warren Buffett and intelligent investment philosophy, this is a collection of Buffett's letters to the shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway written over the past few decades that together furnish an enormously valuable informal education. The letters distill in plain words all the basic principles of sound business practices. They are arranged and introduced by a leading apostle of the "value" school and noted author, Lawrence Cunningham. Here in one place are the priceless pearls of business and investment wisdom, woven into a delightful narrative on the major topics concerning both managers and investors. These timeless lessons are ever-more important in the current environment.

Perfect.......2007-08-14
Lucid and brilliant, a clear lesson on capital allocation. The only objection would be the repeated content, but truthfully it helped the ideas sink in a bit.
Thank you for editing this collection Professor Cunningham.
Real Wisdom at a Good Price.......2007-08-05
I work for a financial services company, and I'm subjected to corporate gobbledegook on a daily basis. Warren Buffett gets to the point. His explanations of financial transactions seem so effortless, I can't imagine how others get so confused and obtuse. Here's a mind worth delving in to, and this book lets you sit on the shoulder of a modern genius to see how he thinks. Good stuff.
excellent.......2007-07-09
These are the actual words penned by Buiffett. Not as dry as one would think, he's actually a wonderful writer. The Oracle of Omaha can turn a phrase and while parts of this are slow going, I enjoyed it throughly.
I heartily recommend this book for those desiring wealth. I also strongly recommend The Millionaire Mind by Tom Stanley. The Millionaire Mind
Buffett's Favorite book about him.......2007-06-06
In the CNBC Liz Clayman interview with Buffett, he stated that of all the books written about him, this one is his favorite...it is an excellent read.
Lessons for Corporate America.......2007-05-14
This is a great book for people to understand the relationship between Corporate governance and business wellness. a must read for a long term investor.
Product Description
This book is designed to support the expansion in scope of the Professional Responsibility course. While attending to the Model Rules and the disciplinary process, Cases and Materials on the Law Governing Lawyers allows treatment of a wider range of sources of the law that governs lawyer conduct than the ethics codes and a wider range of control devices than the disciplinary process. The result is a more dynamic set of materials that presents a picture of the constraints on lawyer conduct that is closer to the realities of practice.
Cases and Materials on the Law Governing Lawyers presents the material in a manner similar to the presentation of the material in other mainstream law courses: the law governing lawyers is just that, law, and students seem to respect the courses place in the curriculum when the materials are presented as such. In most other courses, the law studied affects client conduct; the lawyer interacts with it as an expert, a step removed from the laws application. Not so in the Professional Responsibility course, in which the law is about the lawyers conduct and relationships. Students find motivation for the course when they recognize this simple insight.
The Second Edition of this casebook adds approximately 20 problem scenarios, incorporates the significant changes in the February 2002, Ethics 2000 Commission-inspired amendments to the Model Rules, and adds materials on both multidisciplinary and multijurisdictional practice. As an aid to those teaching the casebook in New York and California, the appendix includes the New York Code of Professional Responsibility and the California Rules of Professional Conduct.

Book Description
Although the Anti-Corn Law league played a most important part in the politics of the 1840's, there is no modern study of its activities and organization. Based on several years work on the original sources, as well as papers belonging to George Wilson, President of the League for most of its life, this book sheds light on the internal history and organization of the League.
Written from a political perspective, Dr McCord describes the origin, organization and activities of the League, together with its effect on the contemporary political scene, and as such, fills an important gap in our knowledge of the political history of early Victorian England. At the same time, the book provides an analysis of an unusually well-documented political pressure group, making it a most welcome addition to literature for historians and economic historians, as well as students of political science.
This book was first published in 1958.
