For me this was one of those phenomenal books that changes the way you live your life. In a broad sense, this book is about our author Randy Pausch as he shares pivotal moments within his life and explains what he has learned from them and how, in turn, he has lived because of them. Yet, there is so much more here than what's on the surface. With his humorous and down to earth narration, Pausch brings these events to life in such a way that you feel as if you really were there in that lecture hall as he tells his stories and flips through those slides. You live through those moments within the story and in the end you learn the most important lessons a man can relate in his last chance for a voice.
