The Last Lecture par Randy Pausch
Do yourself a favor: watch the lecture on YouTube first. Then decide if you want to read this, because 90% of the book is contained in that recording.
This is an excellent book that everyone should read. The author encourages everyone to live life to the fullest and to achieve their childhood dreams. Loved it!
I didn't finish this because someone told me to just watch the actual last lecture on YouTube. So I did and now I don't really feel the need to keep reading the book. I like a lot of things Randy tries to impart to his audience, so I was surprised that I didn't cry. He looks so good in the video it's easy to forget he's sick.
P.S. Have you seen that Michael Keaton movie _My Life_? This will remind you of that. Only _My Life_ will make you cry like a baby.

Nas universidades americanas é comum que se convidem grandes mestres para uma hipotética palestra final cujo tema é “que sabedoria você transmitiria ao mundo sabendo que esta é a sua última oportunidade?” Informado por seu médico que teria apenas 6 meses de vida por causa de um câncer, o professor Randy Pausch da Carnegie Mellon University, compareceu para apresentar sua palestra final, intitulada Concretizando realmente seus sonhos de criança. Cinqüenta dias depois, mais de 25 milhões de pessoas já conheciam o professor e seu trabalho e o haviam acolhido em seus corações.Um fenômeno editorial que mostra o sentido da luta pela vida. É o livro mais esperado do ano.… (plus d'informations)
