*Life Coach-"The Last Lecture"

Welcome to Life Coach-"The Last Lecture"

Let's talk about how Carnegie Mellon professor Randy Pausch's book "The Last Lecture" could change our personal and business lives!

The Last Lecture book goes beyond the now-famous lecture to inspire us all to live each day of our lives with purpose and joy

“We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.”
—Randy Pausch

Lots of professors give talks titled “The Last Lecture.” Professors are often asked to consider their own death and to tell students what matters most to them. And while they speak, audiences can’t help but mull the same question: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy?

So, when Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn’t have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave—“Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams”—wasn’t about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because “time is all you have...and you may find one day that you have less than you think”). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living.

In this book, Randy Pausch combines and relates the humor, inspiration and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a impacting book that will be shared for generations to come.
