The Last Lecture
I knew about this "Achieving Your Childhood Dreams" lecture from friends, but learned about the TV show and that the book is coming out this week from Energy Bus author Jon Gordon's newsletter:
"By now you probably have heard about Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch and his last lecture. Well, Randy recently passed the six-month mark since his terminal diagnosis. On Wednesday, April 9 (10 p.m. ET), ABC’s Diane Sawyer will host a special about Randy and his impact on the world. It’s an inspiring story that I hope you’ll watch and read. Randy’s new book, written with Jeff Zaslow will be out this week as well."

Thanks for posting this. I actually hadn't heard of The Last Lecture yet and was able to catch the Diane Sawyer interview last night. Very powerful and moving.

How inspiring Randy Pausch is! If you liked "The Last Lecture", another fantastic memoir I just read and highly recommend is "My Stroke of Insight" by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor. Her TEDTalk video (ted.com) has been seen as many times as The Last Lecture I think, and Oprah did 4 shows on her book, so there are a lot of similarities. In My Stroke of Insight, there's a happy ending though. It's an incredible story! I hear they're making it into a movie.
