Have you read "The Last Lecture" by Randy Pausch? I had... with thanks to DT who t-loan the book to me.
Randy was diagnosed with metastasised pancreatic cancer, and he gave this "last lecture" to inspire people to live to their fullest, and to leave behind some teaching messages for his three young kids. A recording of it was uploaded on YouTube and millions had viewed it. He is also the co-writer of the book, which is still on the top list of best sellers.
The Last Lecture was an easy-to-read book - all about realising your dreams, how each step leads you to where you want to be, injecting creativity and having fun along the way.
I had joy reading this book, just that I found it to be a little too dry at the last few chapters, where the content was getting a little too short to drive across thoughts meaningfully. If there is a need to compare, I would still prefer "Tuesdays with Morrie" - a moving book that show profound insights about living life to the fullest. Yet, there should be no comparison, isn't it? It is just a different style of writing.
Randy just passed away last Friday at an age of 47. Grab that book if you have not read it, or view the video on YouTube if you want to.
