Randy Pausch and Jeffrey Zaslow - The Last Lecture Review

"The Last Lecture" by Randy Pausch is more than just his dealing with his impending death. It's a celebration of all those things in life we often take for granted, the things that really matter: family, friends, all those with whom we have relationships, those we don't know so well, community. It's a reminder to go for your dreams NOW...before it's too late. As importantly, the book is a reminder to tell those you love that you DO love them in both words and actions. I liked his take on finding someone you want to spend the rest of your life with: Someone who's happiness is more important than your own. This book made such an impression on my that I bought copies to give to family and friends. It's one of those books that you want to keep, to know it's there when you want to re-read the whole thing or just a passage or two or three. In short, this book has made me view the world and my own life in a different and much more positive light.
