This is a very touching book written on the last lecture delivered by a lecturer suffering from pancreatic cancer. This book is a teaching and the last gift he wanted to give to the world and to his 3 sons who will not have a chance to know their father as they grow. The lectures is Ronald Pausch and it is co authored by Jeffry Zezlow.

I am so glad you mentioned it jessika it is one of my favourite books.
A small correction though, it is Randy Paucsh not Ronald.
More than the book I recommend the actual last lecture. watch it on video if you can find it. This man has been a role model to me since. He passed away this past july beating all odds that he would survive only a few months he survived much longer. This man has actually lived his life all while being an inspiration to people like me. Spread the word and make more people aware of this legend.
