The Last Lecture [B0554]

2008 petite HCDJ in nice clean condition. Reflections of a Carnegie Mellon computer science professor who lectured on "Really achieving your childhood dreams," shortly after having been diagnosed with terminal cancer. His advice concerned seizing the moment while living, rather than dying.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "The head fake? You see a book written by someone with terminal illness and think of it to be a farewell message. But early on you realize this isn't a book about dying but about living. What struck me the most was his refreshing take on challenges and setbacks. The brick wall analogy and Coach Graham's lessons on humility, discipline, and feedback? They were simple, but powerful- just like most of the best life lessons are."; "Love this book! Really makes you think about what's important in life!"; "The book was just incredible, Randy really made me feel as if I actually knew him. I just, wow, I don't think I have words to describe the way the book made me feel."; "Good bits of advice, interesting stories. What an awesome gift to leave for your kids."
