A gift you can finally meet
Cumulative sales of 1 million copies, masterpiece written by Spencer Johnson over 20 years
Moments where life is not easy. There are times when I feel stuffy, as if all the things surrounding me are turning their backs on me, just like the line in the drama, ‘bitten by society, then bitten even more when you come home’. There are days when I can't sleep due to regret about the past, hopelessness in the present, and anxiety about the future to come. Perhaps we are living in more desolate and desolate times than ever before.
Spencer Johnson, a storyteller who tells the truth of life in the simplest language, has given us a way to turn ordinary everyday life into the best moment. In particular, Spencer Johnson's representative work, "The Present" (original title: The Present), has been loved for a long time, conveying the process of reaching ultimate happiness without losing one's self in a given environment.
There is no sweet rhetoric in this book, which reminds us that the ordinary gift of 'present' given to anyone is the greatest gift that influences our lives. There are no convincing suggestions to jump like a moth to happiness and success. It's just a consideration to find 'the world's most precious gift' in everyday life. Living each day faithfully in order not to lose one's identity even in a tough world. Even in a world where ‘effort’ is disparaged as ‘no-oh-oh-yeok’, to fully protect my today. It helps me to reflect on the value of focusing on my life right now, not a life for anyone else.
