Book Description
A lot of professors give talks titled 'The Last Lecture'. Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them: 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? 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', wasnt 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 has combined the humour, inspiration, and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a book that will be shared for generations to come.

Book Description
The first chapter is an annotated autobiography of the author to introduce the reader to the background that the author is drawing from for his conclusions. He is a working class, a commonerno silver spoon here. He spent most of his life struggling to make ends meet while working in the private sector, and then in the final years of his work life, he worked in the public sector and got involved in the labor movement and politics where the political work was done. The revelations of his findings will probably not going to win him any friends within either party because, as the book discloses, nobody has clean hands, including the people that go to the polls or sit at home and throw stones at the gladiators. The book throws stones at everybody, including himself. The books suggests where we, as a people, began to go wrong and stray from the path our ancestors laid out for us. It is the books assertion that our nation is in decline because our culture has been compromised and is in decline. Its purpose is to strike a note toward fixing our problems, starting in the home.
