`I have heard the video is not as good as the book. Not wanting to ruin the book I did not watch the video before reading the book. Randy Pausch(former college professor) is dying and is asked to give a last lecture at his former school. This book tells about his experience in writing that lecture. It also tells about some of the key points he makes in his lecture. His outlook on life is incredible. To continue life with the outlook that you lived another day and be happy about it is incredible. It really makes you think how the little problems in life are really not hard to deal with. I highly recommend it even if you didn't think the video of the actual lecture was not that great. I think the best thing I got out of it was his thinking on overcoming life's obstacles. He said that brick walls are put in front of you for a reason. They are to see if you have the want to to get over it.
