Book Reviews of The Present : The Gift That Makes You Happier And More Successful At Work And In Life, Today!

Book Review: Sometimes the solution to problems is simple, learn from the past, prepare for the future but live in the present
Summary: 5 Stars

The author of "Who Moved My Cheese" has hit another annoying nail of life on the head with this book. The present is not a gift that you unwrap; it is about learning from the past and preparing for the future by living and managing the present.
Like so many stories of learning, the context is a man, at first a young man, talking to an old and wise man. Following the tradition that the only effective lesson is one you learn from yourself, the wise man does not tell the younger one the precise lesson, but gives him hints so that he can learn it on his own. While the young one does learn, it is an iterative process where he must learn one lesson before he has the skills to learn the next one.
Johnson writes in a simple yet effective style, delivering his message without expansive words or the use of UPPERCASE and exclamation points. There are many writers of motivational books that would be much better off if they were to adopt this style.

Good Things Happen To Those Who Open The Present

The Gift That Makes Your Work And Life Better Each Day!

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 happier and more successful in your work and in your personal life, today! Like the young man, you may find that it is the best gift you can give yourself.
