I bought this book for a class in Human Development through the life span. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It had humor and realism. It is basically a guide in how to spend your last months on this earth. What an amazing viewpoint. I was awed by how he could keep his perspective, while facing his own mortality. He was so involved in his family and making a lasting memory for his children. I think this is one must read.
This book is very motivational and moving. I would recommend everyone to read it. It's a very fast read and will leave you thinking when you are done...Enjoy the book.
I ordered two of the same book, one of which I received promptly. The other I never got. Its been almost 3 months I tried contacting the vendor and even Ebay and never got a response. Needless to say I wont be ordering books from this site any time soon.
I haven't finished it yet, but it is a inspiring book, and personal, and gets you to think about the most important things in life. It is life-changing.
I saw part of Randy's speech on the internet and then again on TV specials and thought he was amazing so I decided to buy the book. Not only is he a motivational speaker, but he lived an amazing life. He had great experiences and the most positive attitude. Not a book to set down. He truly touched my life just through his book. A MUST READ!!!!+
I saw the author on TV and thought the book would be interesting. By the time I got it, he had died. It is an excellent book. Really puts life events into perspective.
I purchased a copy to take to work for our library of reference books - it has some great insights into leadership, time management and balancing work and home life.
I bought this book because I thought it might divulge some valuable nuggets of insights about life's journey. Unfortunately, I found the book to be rather pedestrian with nothing new to offer as just about everything written I had read before. I know the hype related to the book had set me up to expect a banquet of insight, but this book left me hungry because what was proffered was so spare.
If you have been inspired by Dr, Pausch, this book is for you. Book is filled with all the inspiration one needs to succeed in life. The format is easy to follow, Would recommend this book to everyone (and have).
I have the book, but I have no confidence in your Paypal transactions. I have not bought anything since and am trying to figure out how I can buy w/o risk. Has anyone been identified as the credit card thief? You track everything I can't believe you can determine how my cc was compromised. Have a great day. Randy Raab
This was an extra-ordinary book written by a world famous man. It was written for his three children. Randy was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and he wanted his children to know about their father from their father. Excellent, excellent book. I highly recommend it.
I totally admired the way Randy Pausch faced his death and stayed strong for his family and friends. His wit and humor and his excellent insights are very much worthy of your reading time.
As I have coached in High School for 15 years, I found this book to be a road map for better instruction. It's about what is good in the human spirit. It dwells on the POSITIVE IN LIFE and helps the reader see what is really important, and what isn't. Although Randy Pausch is dead now, this self help book lives on. It should change the way you relate to life, for the better. Live your dreams! Stay positive! Help others! The Dali Lama couldn't have said it better. Thanks Randy!
I saw the TV program all about Randy Pausch and decided I just had to read the book. I am done and I want more! Great reading. I highly recomend this one!!
Wonderful Ebayer, super fast shipping, products were just as described A+++++++ I do wish we could've gotten combined Shipping because we ordered 8 books, but it was still worth it.
I decided to buy Mr. Pausch's book, after hearing so much about him. He was such a brilliant person. I read his book in a day!!!!! It was wonderful!!!! The path he took & so publicly shared, will help so many others of us, who will someday have to make the same journey. My favorite excerpt, was when he talked about the creations he made on his wall, while growing up. My son, who is 8 years old, is an advid football fan. I went into his room, not too long ago, and he had taped several pictures of his favorite players on his wall. I immediately thought about Mr. Pausch and smiled, for in each of us, there lies such interesting talent. Although I was never able to meet Mr. Pausch, I will forever remember him, for his book taught such a wonderful lesson in living!!!! I would recommend this book to everone, young and old!!!!!!!!
I liked the book very much. I am glad Randy Pausch was able to leave it as a legacy to his children. I had heard about the concept of last lectures, but this one really was. It is heartbreaking to hear of his early death due to pancreatic cancer, but he offered a lot of insight about living and never really seemed to feel sorry for himself. We all need to remember it really is about being able to set goals for your life and then being able to complete them. We need to live like we have only a limited amount of time left, because we really do.
