From the Back Cover
"The Precious Present
puts life in its simplest form. We should all follow its message and
live life in the wonderful state The Precious Present awards
each of us. I read it to all of my teams before we take the floor
for the first day of practice."
--Rick Pitino, author of Success is a
Choice
"The precious present has nothing to do with wishing. The richness
of the precious present comes from its own source. The precious
present is not something that someone gives you. It is something
that you give to yourself." The parable of The Precious Present
is a quiet one to muse upon and sit with, and finally to take into
your heart. Spencer Johnson, coauthor of the bestselling business
classic
The One Minute Manager, has created a
simple path for the reader to follow in the search for peace and
clarity.
While The Precious
Present may read like a children's book for adults, its slow
pace requires the mind to quiet down so that it can really register
the meaning of Johnson's words. "The Present Is Simply Who I Am Just
The Way I Am... Right Now. And It Is Precious." We may be familiar
with this philosophy in theory, but the experience of reading The
Precious Present is truly synchronous with its message.
--Jodie Buller
