I was very touched by the book, maybe because of the fact that the author passed away on July 25th. The book to me clearly is a declaration of love to mankind, and to his family in particular. A few of his ideas I may try and build into my daily routine. His family is very lucky to have had him. The passage where he says that he was the first man ever to fall in love with his daughter made me cry. His positive attitude certainly is contageous, and worth being passed on to others. 'Never take anything for granted, an definitely seize the moment.' The paragraph where the one friend of his describes passing a convertible that's driven by a guy who drums his fingers on the driver's door, and has this big grin on his face really made me smile. Special to me also were the paragraphs where Randy's message is to begin things from zero, scratch false pride, and try new things, to put a lot of effort into doing things even though they may not always carry the promise of reaching one's goal/s. Interesting to me were the parts about making people aware of what it truly means to be a team member, and what it requires to become one. All in all, a noteworthy book that I will recommend to anyone who, in geeral, has an interest in intelligent literature.Read full review
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.

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.

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.
