I was reading Reader's Digest at the doctor's office (it was an older issue) and they had a review of the book along with an interview about the author. Basically the author was dying of cancer, and didn't have very long to live, so I am assuming by now he is deceased. In any event the book sounds terrific. I have been trying to find it at the second hand store or the library, but was wondering if anyone has actually read the book. Thanks in advance for your responses.

The lecture ended up on You Tube and he was on shows such as Oprah. The reason the lecture caught on was because of how much feeling and how many lessons that could be learned from it. He wrote a book based on the lecture that was released earlier this year. Here is the lecture (get the tissues out first!): http://youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSo&feature=related He was diagnosed, I believe in 2006, but was deemed untreatable in mid-2007. He passed away early 7/25. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,391123,00.html Sat, 26 Jul 2008 23:25:28 GMT sedel1027
