Review of 'The Last Lecture' on 'Goodreads'

Some pearls, but ultimately it's written by someone who values doing more than being. Pausch is all about his accomplishments: living his life by aiming at a target and crushing obstacles in his way. There seemed little enjoyment of the path, little reflection on the opportunities of the moment, just that sweet gloating of triumph when his laser focus and tireless efforts win him his victories. That is not my Way. Not to say that it's wrong. Just that it's not how I envision a meaningful life, and I won't be giving away copies of this to my younger friends-and-relations.

Review of 'The Last Lecture' on 'Goodreads'

This is a great companion to the video of Randy Pausch's "Last Lecture". I was afraid that it would just be a rehash of the video but there is more content that wasn't included in the video and even rereading the content presented in the video was valuable. This, along with Frankenstein, will be added to my list of books that I give away to people to read.
