¿Qué portugués no se ha sentido ofendido, irritado o confundido con los españoles y su forma de ser? ¿Qué español no se ha sentido incomprendido, también irritado o confundido con los portugueses y su forma de ser? Siendo vecinos, los dos países han pasado siglos de espaldas uno al otro y posiblemente no haya dos culturas que, siendo tan cercanas, se conozcan tan poco. A través del humor, de anécdotas reales vividas durante sus años en Portugal y de una reflexión intelectualmente exigente, Federico J. González Tejera analiza las diferencias entre las dos culturas y las dos formas de ser, tanto en el ámbito profesional como personal.
Federico J. González Tejera has worked in the business world since 1988. In 1995, he decided to accept a posting and move to Brussels with his family, initially intended to be for only a short period. Now, more than twenty years later, he has lived and worked in Stockholm, Lisbon, and Paris, before returning to Madrid in September 2013. He now divides his time living in Brussels and Madrid. Having shared this experience with his family allows him to offer a profound reflection on professional and personal aspects of expatriate life. He has written two other books, "How to Succeed in Business the Swedish Way" and "How to Live and Work with the Portuguese", both published by Biblioteca Nueva.
