The Present: The Gift That Makes You Happy And Successful At Work And In Life
by Spencer Johnson
The Present is a story about a young and an old man, about the search for true happiness and success, and the realization that neither can be found in the past or the future, but in undivided attention to the present moment, in consciously living in the here and now.
Instead of repressing past mistakes, we should learn from them and apply the lessons in the present. Instead of just dreaming of a better future, we should plan for it and implement our plan in the present.
This short, engaging read is a recommendation for anyone striving for success and a fulfilling life at the same time.
