Title: The Present: The Gift that Makes You Happy
and Successful at Work and in Life
Author: Spencer Johnson
Stars: ***
Through a parable about an old man and a boy, Spencer Johnson reveals
the secret to success and happiness. Simply put, the “Present” involves
living life purposely in the present, learning from the past, and planning for
the future.
We are most engaged when we are concentrating on the present. There is
no sense dwelling on the past, or worrying about the future. If we are
unhappy about the present, we look to the past for lessons learned and
implement them in the present. If we’d like to change the future for the
better, we need to put a plan in place to do so and execute in the present.
People are bombarded with so many things in life. Thinking in terms of
this paradigm can help simplify and restore some sanity, and facilitate
genuine improvement - a welcome gift.
