#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER - A simple yet profound fable about the challenges we face in times of unprecedented change, and how to emerge more successful both professionally and personally--from the bestselling author of Who Moved My Cheese?

This edition includes a new introduction by the author

"Many of the people I have observed could have been even happier and more successful, in their careers and their lives, had they been given the gift of The Present."--Norman Augustine, former chairman and CEO, Lockheed Martin Corporation; former under secretary of the U.S. Army

Good things happen to those who open The Present, because:
- It's the one thing that doesn't change in changing times.
- It will help you be more productive and more prosperous.
- It will make you feel happier and more successful in everything you do.

This life-changing book tells the engaging story of a young man's journey to adulthood and his tireless search for The Present, a mysterious and elusive gift he first hears about from a wise old man.

As the young boy becomes a man, he grows disillusioned with his work and his life. So he returns to ask the old man to help him find The Present. The old man responds, "Only you have the power to find The Present for yourself." Heeding the old man's advice, the young man embarks on a worldwide search for this magical gift that holds the secret to personal happiness and lifelong success.

It is only after the young man has searched high and low and all but given up his relentless pursuit that he discovers The Present--and all of the promises it offers.
