The Last Lecture

Randy Pausch

The New York Times bestseller ‘’The Last Lecture’’ unfortunately is, true to its title, the last message Randy Pausch gave to the world. When he was 46 years old, Pausch learned he had terminal cancer and only a few more months to live. Therefore, he decided to write a book that would teach his children valuable lessons about the joy of life and the importance of achieving childhood dreams.
