The Present is the

Whether it means …

live with.
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.
