THE PRESENT is an engaging story of a young man's journey to adulthood, and his search for The Present, a mysterious and elusive gift he first hears about from a great old man. 
 
Later, when the young boy becomes a young man, disillusioned with his work and his life, he returns to ask the old man, once again, to help him find The Present. 
 
The old man responds, 'Only you have the power to find The Present for yourself.' So the young man embarks on a tireless search for the secret to his personal happiness and business acumen. 
 
It is only after the young man has searched high and low and given up his relentless pursuit that he relaxes and discovers The Present - and all the promises it offers. 
 
THE PRESENT will help you focus on what will make you happy and successful in your work and in your personal life. 
 
Like the young man, you may find that it is the best gift you can ever give yourself...

This is the amusing and enlightening story of four characters who live in a maze and look for cheese to nourish them and make them happy. 
 
Cheese is a metaphor for what you want to have in life, for example a good job, a loving relationship, money or possessions, health or spiritual peace of mind. 
 
The maze is where you look for what you want, perhaps the organisation you work in, or the family or community you live in. The problem is that the cheese keeps moving. 
 
In the story, the characters are faced with unexpected change in their search for the cheese. One of them eventually deals with change successfully and writes what he has learned on the maze walls.  
 
Discover the secret of the writing on the wall for yourself and learn how to anticipate, adapt to, and enjoy change whenever you need to. Written for all ages, this story takes less than an hour to read, but its unique insights will last a lifetime. 
 
Exploring a simple way to take the fear and anxiety out of managing the future, Who Moved My Cheese?  is the life-changing guide to help you accept change and enjoy less stress and more success in your work and life.
