The Present is an engaging story of a young man’s journey to adulthood, and his search for The Present, a mysterious and elusive gift he first hears about from a great old man. This Present, according to the old man, is “the best present a person can receive.” Later, when the young boy becomes a young man, disillusioned with his work and his life, he returns to ask the old man, once again, to help him find The Present. The old man responds, “Only you have the power to find The Present for yourself.” So the young man embarks on a tireless search for this magical gift that holds the secret to his personal happiness and business success.It is only after the young man has searched high and low and given up his relentless pursuit that he relaxes and discovers The Present—and all of the promises it offers. The Present will help you focus on what will make you happier and more successful in your work and in your personal life, today! Like the young man, you may find that it is the best gift you can give yourself. www.ThePresent.com Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Sometimes the solution to problems is simple, learn from the past, prepare for the future but live in the present The author of "Who Moved My Cheese" has hit another annoying nail of life on the head with this book. The present is not a gift that you unwrap; it is about learning from the past and preparing for the future by living and managing the present. Like so many stories of learning, the context is a man, at first a young man, talking to an old and wise man. Following the tradition that the only effective lesson is one you learn from yourself, the wise man does not tell the younger one the precise ...

After that huge hit, publishers couldn't get enough of Dr. Johnson's writings. But what's a one or two-hit wonder to do when you've already used up your best ideas?

Too often I found myself guilty of not living in the present and worrying about the past or the future. Troubling times made me re-evaluate and refocus my life. The Present teaches what I personally experienced and gave me reason to ponder and pause. May this powerful story help others learn and grow. steven Rating: - A Welcome Gift Through a parable about an old man and a boy, Spencer Johnson reveals the secret to success and happiness. Simply put, the "Present" involves living life purposely in the present, learning from the past, and planning for the future. We are most engaged when we are concentrating on the present. There is no sense dwelling on the past, or worrying about the future. If we are unhappy about the present, we look to the past for lessons learned and implement them in the present. If we'd like to change ...

For those who have not read it, the book is all about living in the present, and focusing on the positive aspects of every moment, never focusing on the negative.
