The Present: The Gift that Makes You Happy and Successful at Work and in Life Audiobook

" It explains why purpose and staying in the moment are so important. I like Spencer Johnson’s books find them real treasures. "

" The most wonderful present at all. "

" Nice simple lessons. Author of Who Moved my Cheese. "

" A quick reminder to live in the now and not when something finally happens that will make you happy. "

" I LOVED the calligraphy--so pretty! I read this to my Mom as she was making soup this morning and I was drinking coffee in my fleece pajamas. It reminds me that I need not ruminate about the past or worry about the future; I can learn from the past and plan for the future but to be happy I can experience the present moment. "

" Spencer Johnson's approach to self motivation and personal change is always so simple. You can't help but smack your forehead and let out an audible, "Duh!!" when you read his books. Simple doesn't take away from the overall message. I have gifted this book on more than one occasion. Be cognizant of where your stepping today. "

" EVERYONE needs to read this at least once a year!! It takes about 10-20 minutes to read and is the ultimate, simple truth about appreciating what we have and not dwelling on what we want. Living in the present is a simple, understandable concept but, let's face it, how many of us actually do it???? This may be a little sentimental and cheesy, as one reviewer put it, but a little cheese is necessary sometimes to offset the whine of regret and desire. Read it to your children too...they get it!! "

" This should be read about once a month! "

" A terse introduction to mindfulness for the uninitiated. "

" What a load of cheesy drivel. "Be happy, and you'll be happier in life." "Work hard and work smart, and you'll be better at work." This book was a waste of half an hour. I'm glad I borrowed it from the library instead of shelling out $14 for it. "
