The Last Lecture…In Case You Haven’t Seen it Yet

by Jenny • April 22nd, 2008

For a truly inspirational video from a truly inspirational man, check out YouTube video of The Last Lecture (How to Really Achieve Your Childhood Dreams), by Randy Pausch. A little forewarning – it’s 75 minutes long, so set some time aside and relax!

If you’re more of a reader than a watcher, here’s the transcript. Pausch also has a book and accompanying website.

    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.
