Book description
For over two decades, Spencer Johnson has been inspiring and
entertaining millions with his simple, yet insightful stories of work
and life that speak directly to the heart and soul.
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 acumen. 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 the promises it offers.
THE PRESENT will help you focus on what will make you happy and
successful in your work and in your personal life. Like the young man,
you may find that it is the best gift you can ever give yourself.
