The Present
The Present is the best gift you can receive because it makes you happy and successful!

The Present
The Gift that Makes You Happy and Successful at Work and in Life
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 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 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.

      A master storyteller, the bestselling author of Who Moved My Cheese? offers a parable whose timely message can have value for just about anyone. It's based on the notion that much of life's pain comes from resentments about the past, excessive self-importance, worry, and control, or lack of connectedness with the good in the world. The remedy to this pain and the other bad habits of intellectualized Western civilization is to enjoy each moment in the present. Read with seamless understanding and respect for the challenge it recommends, the program is an essential lesson wrapped up in a catchy and inspirational narrative. A pleasing audio for anyone with baggage to unload and a desire to live more immediately. T.W. 2004 Audie Award Finalist (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine
