All rights reserved.The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch (2008)
| Synopsis In this inspiring and sometimes moving publishing phenomenon, computer science professor Randy Pausch offers a summation of his life and what he has learned. The book is derived from a presentation that Pausch made after he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Addressing his children, he spoke on the topic "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams." When a tape of his talk was published on the YouTube website, it became a hit, as millions who viewed the clip found that his words struck a chord. Here he fleshes out and adds to his earlier work. What comes through is a gentle, sincere, and clear set of lessons on living and appreciating.

Reviews  Great Audio.Inspirational.Thoughtful and uplifting.Review created: 08/21/08 by:  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.

(The Last Lecture)Review created: 08/12/08 by: I watched the last half of the show about him a couple of weeks ago.And received my audio book. I am listening to the first part in the car and already in just the first 60min of this cd I am overwhelmed by his thoughtfulness of everyone and his story and advice he wants his children to hear when the time is right. It already is making me want to be a better mother to my three young sons 2,4,and 6 years. I highly recommend this even though I am only into 60minutes of 4 hrs of these cds. I can only listen when I am in the van without everyone.It will probably take me 6months to listen, but I have a feeling I will be listening to this one my whole life.
