After having gone through some tumultuous challenges in my own personal life, and having a loved one die of Cancer (and another ill), seeing Randy Pausch, provide an account of his own life dynamics - has given me a genuine appreciation for the unknown.
A lecture to listen toMay 4, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
To admit it front-up: I'm biased by viewing the Last Lecture online, which impressed me beyond words. So did the book: I read it from first page to last, and I feel I have learnt a lot on each and every page of it. I've attended a number of "regular" - and very good - last lectures. Compared to Randy Pausch's lecture, those "regular" ones were more or less focused on a certain area of research, typically the lecturer's field of work. Randy Pausch's Last Lecture describes his ways to fulfill his dreams - he gives an account of how he succeeded in living an exceptionally productive and fulfilled life, and describes his key points succinctly and clearly. Many thanks to him for this wonderful book.

I read it in one sitting. It is not morose or depressing as it could have been. This end of life book reflects on the importance of life, on attaining goals, on treating people responsibly, on the importance of giving back and most of all, the writers love of his family. I pray that medical science and G-d see fit for this man to elude his diagnosis. He has so much more to offer his family, his students and himself being on this planet.

This is an amazing book!!! I can't stop smiling while reading it. Randy Pausch talks about what really matters in life, reaching your dreams and the importance of the family too. For sure is THE BEST LECTURE!
