The Last Lecture of Randy Pausch
Last September we published a post on the Last Lecture of Randy Pausch. Diagnosed with cancer he gave his “last lecture” on Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams, encouraging people to dream big. His talk was a model of being genuine and connecting with the audience. Here’s an update.
He’s featured on ABC, The Last Lecture – A Love Story For Your Life, with Diane Sawyer. The USA broadcast is Wednesday, April 9, at 10pm (or 9pm CST).
He has published a book: The Last Lecture.

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.
