I just watched that the other day, really really good. It’s not the same old “Do something with your life” type of bullshit “inspirational” lecture. ---

Bump, because I can’t sleep and I get philosophical when I can’t sleep. Do yourself a favor and set aside an hour and seventeen minutes for this: Cliffs: Popular exercise amongst professors is to give a “last lecture”. This dude has a wife and kids and terminal cancer and is a great professor, so here’s his legit last lecture. ---

he died right around the same time as my mom. I recommend reading the book then watching the video, as there’s a lot more insight in the text. normally not my cup of tea, but it’s that good. esp if you’re dealing with loss. ---
