Last Lecture

Book • 2008

In this book, Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University, combines humor, inspiration, and intelligence to share his life lessons.

After being diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer, Pausch delivered a 'Last Lecture' titled 'Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams,' which was not about dying but about living.

The book extends this lecture, recounting Pausch's life experiences, his achievements of seemingly outlandish childhood dreams, and the importance of overcoming obstacles and enabling the dreams of others.

It serves as a legacy for his three young children and a guide for readers to live each day with purpose and joy.
