I'm assuming people know that this is a transcription of a lecture given by a college professor with pancriatic cancer. I bought this book for my Mom for her birthday. She enjoyed reading it. It's not maudlin although it's clearly emotional.

  Lost Interest

I waited too long for confirmation of delivery of this book. Several day later, I finally got a message that the book had been lost and they would let me know. I decided to cancel this book. It arrived within days but, by that time, I had lost interest and returned it unopened.

I bought the book because a family member suggested I read it. Because I always worry about everything. I saw a little how it could pertain to me but not much. I thought randy took the thought of having cancer really great. He accepted it and made his life great. Him leaving a lecture taped for his children about his life and theirs was brilliant. They will always have that whenever they want to watch it.

One of the most inspirational books I have ever not been able to put down. I saw a clip on TV about the author, but never did I expect a book that sends a powerful message of strength, true love and a positive influence from a man who will never know how many people he has made such an impact on.

I bought an extra copy and gave it to a dear friend as a gift. He came to work the next day and exclaimed "I lost my book!" ... his wife grabbed it and he's been unable to get it from her since.

For those who are well, or those who are facing tragedy, you will learn from this author ...

Words of wisdom for a happy and fulfilling life. Dr. Pausch leaves a legacy for his children that we all can follow. Well worth the read. I purchased a second copy for my daughter for Mother's Day.

  The Last Lecture is the best lecture
Review created: 04/29/08

Everything about this book and Ralph Pausch's life is truly inspiring. This book is great for anyone to read and go back to when feeling like life is tough or dealing you a bad hand. I purchased this book because I had seen his Interview on T.V and having gone through depression it made me appreciate life more and have a much better attitude and I also wanted to be able to lend it to friends and family to read.

  Fitting title . Very moving
Review created: 04/29/08(updated 04/30/08)

Have a Kleenex in both hands. Seemed more like a journal, but Mr. Pausch hit the heads of many nails and brings a lot of things into perspective. Anyone who ever feels sorry for themselves should read this and realize how life should be viewed and Lived. I wish Randy, Jai, and their children the best of everything . They will be in my prayers. They are an inspiration for us all and an example that should be followed.

It is an eye opening book about how to live out your own childhood dreams. Randy tells the world in his last lecture how to do just that and how to live each day to the fullest. A brave account from a dying man with cancer- he shows all of us to make eveyday count!

  Living 110% Until Your Last Breath
Review created: 04/17/08

2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This book is from the last lecture given by Randy Plausch, professor at Carnegie Mellon University. Mr. Plausch is at this time dying of pancreatic cancer, but the lecture is not about cancer or dying, but about living with gusto and achieving your childhood dreams.

If anyone can read this book and NOT be inspired, they may need to read it again. Mr. Plausch appears to live the "mach 10 with your hair on fire" life, defying death to the end.

The book and his life challenge a person to go beyond their normal limits. He shows that you don't have to be a professor, a type A personality, the head of the class, or anything that you consider successful to realize that you can reach for the highest dreams and goals in life by mentally eliminating the ceilings or limits you normally place on yourself.

If you read about him or have seen him interviewed, Mr. Plausch is obviously a person who pushes the envelope and inspires others to do the same.

The book makes me get up in the morning and realize that if I'm still alive I'd better get out and go for the gusto.

Good inspirational read for almost any age--good graduation gift.
