Synopsis
After being diagnosed with terminal cancer, a professor shares the lessons he's learned--about living in the present, building a legacy, and taking full advantage of the time you have--in this life-changing classic. "We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand." --Randy Pausch A lot of professors give talks titled "The Last Lecture." Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them. And while they speak, audiences can't help but mull over the same question: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy? When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave--"Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams"--wasn't about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because "time is all you have . . . and you may find one day that you have less than you think"). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living . In this book, Randy Pausch has combined the humor, inspiration and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a book that will be shared for generations to come., "We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand."---Randy Pausch A lot of professors give talks titled "The Last Lecture."

It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living . In this book, Randy Pausch has combined the humor, inspiration and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a book that will be shared for generations to come., Based on the extraordinary final lecture by Carnegie Mellon University professor Pausch, given after he discovered he had pancreatic cancer, this moving book goes beyond the now-famous lecture to inspire readers to live each day with purpose and joy.

    Worth a second read

    Read this when it first came out and enjoyed it so much I bought several copies to give to family and friends. Some how I gave mine away as well. The lessons are timeless and enjoyable to read. So, Had to buy and re-read it again. And of course, tell a bunch of new people how wonderful this is to read. Everyone can connect with the stories and lesson inside of them.

    Makes You Think

    This is a great book to start a new year because it makes you think about your life and how to make the most of every day. If you have lost a loved one to cancer, it can be a difficult read at times, but you can relate to it even more. Also, contains lots of good ideas on how to improve family relationships and friendships. After reading it, I sent a "Thank You" note to several friends.

    Short but Very Sweet!

    This is one of my all time favorite books! Packed with touching thoughts on love, family and living life to the fullest from a man who did not have the luxury of length of years but lived a beautiful life- easy read- highly recommended for any age!

    Good life story lessons

    This book was recommended to me by a friend. It isn't exactly spellbinding, but the content is interesting and real life truths. It would be more applicable to a young person like the author intended, but I don't fall into that age category.

    Fast and Accurate

    Bought the Last Lecture for my dad to read. Like Dr. Pausch, he has been diagnosed with a terminal cancer. Thought the book would help change his perspective on living life and accepting death with grace.
