 Well worth the read November 1, 2008

I thought this was terrific book. Sure makes one think about their life and what they are doing with it.
 A Must-Read! October 31, 2008
Stephanie L. Churchill, LMFT (St. Johnsbury VT)
This could have been a sad and depressing book, but I found it to be inspiring and uplifting instead! I plan to give this to family and friends for Christmas gifts, as we all need to be reminded what is truly important in life!
Every Parent Should Read This Book October 30, 2008
Lorie H. Nicholes, novelist, (On the move, USA)
Somebody sent me the You-Tube "Last Lecture" which moved me deeply. Then I found the book at my son's house and read it. WOW! A hundred times better! Where was this book when I was raising my kids? Where was this book when my parents were raising me? How different my life would have been if I had been given, or had given my own children, the insights to live and love life, make dreams, and believe in self of which Randy writes of so cheerfully in this book. The thesis: Have a dream, Reach a dream!
I was always told to be cautious, do what Daddy said, not take chances -- one might be crushed or rejected. Those lessons were a rejection in themselves. When I did mention a dream, I was lovingly told not to hope for fantasies, but to chose something more realistic.
Though I didn't say the same in words to my kids, the thought was there, pervading the air of our home. In retrospect, I know I had, and my children had, the brains and talents to be anything, but not the parental encouragement, let alone the joyous abandon to say "GO FOR IT! WHY NOT?"
Randy, you've given the world a great gift. I regret that most of the world doesn't and won't recognize it.
