The Last Lecture

Excellent book. Quick delivery. Good quality

i'm satisfied with the product

anche se l'argomento di fondo è triste (il protagonista sta morendo, e questo libro è il suo lascito ai figli ed alla moglie), il protagonista colleziona una serie di ricordi belli e positivi, che aiuteranno i figli ancora piccoli a ricordare il loro padre com'era. e non si è mai lasciato prendere dallo sconforto, ha vissuto come meglio poteva sino alla fine. lo consiglio.

絶対読むべき感動の本です。生きることの素晴らしさを考えさせられます。

This wonderful, insightful book was recommended to me by my very best friend and soul-mate, who was blind at the time and had "read" it to help him through his difficult adjustment of being blind. (Side note: he has since, through modern technology regained 90% of his vision). He gave me a copy as a gift because I was experiencing the breakup of a marriage and felt that it would provide me with some soul-soothing, inspiration to move forward in my life. Randy Pausch's Last Lecture is one of the most inspirational, insightful books I have read in a very long time. Mr. Pausch was a brave and courageous man who had a wife and young children and found out he was dying. Instead of curling up in a ball for the next few months and dying slowly a bit at a time, he took the remaining time he had and gave a Lecture, the Last Lecture, about life and encouragement to live life to the fullest. This is NOT a book about dying, it is a book about LIVING! The grace, and heartfelt candor with which it was written was motivational. The first half was, in some spots, very hard to read, because you become one with him and share in his sadness, but he never gave up hope and lived filled with hope until the end. The second half of the book is filled with Pausch-isms which are the gems in this entire book. They are simple lessons on living life, enjoying and appreciating what you have and always inspiring you to move forward with hope, love and joy in life. Living life to the fullest. Randy Pausch didn't "live to die, he died living". I highly recommend this book to everyone, but especially to people who are in professions like Life Coaching, Counseling, and Teaching. There are so many lessons to be gleaned from this book and it is not a "one-time-read".... it is a "reference" book for life! I was truly inspired by this book and love my friend dearly for "sharing" this inspiring book with me.
