Summary of Randy Pausch & Jeffrey Zaslow's The Last Lecture

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview:

#1 I had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, but I was optimistic. I knew I could cancel the lecture, but I wanted to do it. I was energized by the idea of delivering a last lecture that was really a last lecture.

#2 I had come to see the lecture as the last moment of my career, a way to say goodbye to my work family. I had always liked the final scene in The Natural, when the aging, bleeding ballplayer Roy Hobbs miraculously hits that towering home run.

#3 I knew I didn’t want the lecture to focus on my cancer, as I’d already been over it and over it. I wanted to focus on living, and figure out what made me unique.

#4 I had a sudden flash of insight in the waiting room of the hospital. I realized that my uniqueness came from the specific dreams that defined my 46 years of life. I had lived out these dreams because of things I had learned from extraordinary people.
