Randy Pausch
Someone sent me a link to the youtube recording of Randy Pausch’s ‘Last Lecture”. I watched it and then checked his book of the same title out of the library. I am enjoying reading it.
Randy Pausch was a professor at Carnegie Mellon University. His field was computers and virtual reality. At the age of 47 he discovererd that he had pancreatic cancer. This lecture was given when he had been told that he had three to six months left to live. The lecture is about his childhood dreams and how he has realized them. The lecture is very funny and very profound. I am enjoying the book very much.
The book is very small, not much bigger than a paperback, and only has 206 pages. It is illustrated with a lot of pictures from Dr. Pausch’s life.
I heartily recommend this book. It really is not depressing at all. It is very inspiring.
