Product Description
From Amazon
"The precious present has nothing to do with wishing. The richness of the precious present comes from its own source. The precious present is not something that someone gives you. It is something that you give to yourself." The parable of The Precious Present is a quiet one to muse upon and sit with, and finally to take into your heart. Spencer Johnson, coauthor of the bestselling business classic The One Minute Manager, has created a simple path for the reader to follow in the search for peace and clarity. While The Precious Present may read like a children's book for adults, its slow pace requires the mind to quiet down so that it can really register the meaning of Johnson's words. "The Present Is Simply Who I Am Just The Way I Am... Right Now. And It Is Precious." We may be familiar with this philosophy in theory, but the experience of reading The Precious Present is truly synchronous with its message. --Jodie Buller

"The Precious Present puts life in its simplest form. We should all follow its message and live life in the wonderful state The Precious Present awards each of us. I read it to all of my teams before we take the floor for the first day of practice."

Short, sweet and powerful,
This review is from: The Precious Present (Hardcover)
No excuses for not having time to read this book because it is a quick read with a poignant message. This book makes a perfect gift for Christmas not only because of the obvious title but because the message is quite appropriate for the time of year where we get caught up about our past and the worries of tomorrow when all we have is today. Highly recommended for those seeking personal growth.

This review is from: The Precious Present (Hardcover)
Because I have had some misfortunes in my life, I used to dwell on my past a lot. This also made me plan for the future a lot because I was never happy with myself. This book though, has really helped me live in the present moment! I can really say that I am a happier person because I read this book. The other completely excellent book that has helped put this in even better perspective is "The Ever-Transcending Spirit" by Toru Sato. That one is also a fantastic book! Like Gandhi said, "Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever." These books are very true to the spirit of people like this!

One of the finest books I own,
By Nancy (Hixson, TN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Precious Present (Hardcover)
How can such a short book say so much? I remember my mother telling me when I was younger that we always say, "When I graduate, life will be better", "When I get married, life will be better", "When the kids grow up, life will be better". Spencer Johnson puts my mother's thoughts into words. Today IS better....and I am grateful for his words. I have owned this book for 10 years and continue to read it to remind me of the fact that I am definitely living the Precious Present. This one is a keeper!
