The Last Lecture by Randy PauschMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
With only months to live from terminal cancer, the author distill's life's lessons into a final lecture / presentation and this book. Much about that is meritorious and must still be appreciated by family, friends, and hordes of readers. That being said, I find no great insight here in the fortune cookie philosophy and the must useful advice is office etiquette which doesn't really compete with other business efficiency books. I am sure many would be irked by my dismissing this in that way. Still, this can be a great guidebook for someone terminally ill, and with a family. I hope I never need it for that or have occasion to buy it as a practical gift. For wisdom gleaned from meeting Death, I recommend Man's Search for Meaning.
