The Present


The Present by Spencer Johnson was a great book. The main points that the book talked about are to stay in the present, to use your mistakes and information you obtained from your past to better your present, and use your present wisely to create a better future. I believe these points are very useful in life.  The book also speaks on finding your purpose in life. Living with a purpose is very important if you are not working towards something or living for something you have no plan in life. I completely agree with the book I personally believe staying in the present is the best way to live, if you live in the present you will be more focused and appreciate life more. As adults we have more responsibility but we should not stress ourselves to the point of unhappiness. I believe unhappiness comes from focusing too much on the past or the future. The reason that I think The Present by Spencer Johnson is great because everyone can apply what he says in the book in different ways to their own life and it will help them. I like the book because the book is not directed at any specific group the information that the book shares is great and everyone can take out of the book exactly what you need. This book can help everyone in their own way and I believe everyone who has read The Present should share what they learned.
