THE LAST LECTURE

I am so glad that I read Randy Pausch's "Last Lecture". This 47-year-old professor at Carnegie Mellon University is dying of pancreatic cancer. He was invited to give a lecture last fall. Clips were shown on "Good Morning America" and Charlie Gibson named him as his person of the week. This uplifting book covers Randy's approach to life, the lessons he wants to teach his students, the things he hopes that his young children might learn and the importance of pursing your dreams. I plan to bribe my kids to read this book as I feel it is written in such a way that anyone who reads it and thinks about the wisdom it contains, can't help but change their perspective on life in general.

Rating - 5 stars
