The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch (2008, Unabridged, Compact Disc)

This was a very well thought out book / audio. Without being the least bit "preachy" Randy Pausch helps to put life in perspective. He shares very genuine feelings and experiences as he looks over his life. He makes a very conscious decision to live his life with a positive attitude and very effectively creates (for his family and friends)a living legacy through his book. The title, "The Last Lecture", was not meant to conjure of a depressing image of a dying man. Instead he reminds people of how precious life truly is and gently reminds his readers to embrace life and not live it just for yourself. What you give to other's is very important, even if it is only in the shape of a memory. Mr. Pausch did a remarkable job with his book and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting a sincere introspective experience that will keep you smiling and perhaps provoke a few cathartic tears.
