The Last Lecture

The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch

My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book falls under the self-help/inspirational category with an added twist. It was literally written by a college professor who came down with cancer and would be dying within the year.

It's a heartbreaking book in some regards. Knowing that he has a wife and kids and trying to make the most of out of his last year of life.

Much of what he says is common sense type of stuff, but the gravity of his situation and his philosophy in going about handling it puts this book a notch above others in my view.

I choked up or outright cried more than a few times while reading this. I will keep it on my shelf as a reminder for some time to come.
