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.
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 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...
