Brief review: What would you do if you have a short time to live? Specially when are in the prime of your life and the future looks promising. Randy Pausch was a professor at Carnegie Mellon University. At age 47, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and given 3-6 months of good life left. During this time he gave an inspiring talk called 'The Last Lecture' which went viral. The book is based on that lecture. When you get perspective from people not old enough but mortality looming over their life, you get a lot of wisdom to ponder over your own meaning in life. It's a good and inspiring read.
