The energy and positivity coming from a man knowing he's about to die is infectious. Great read
nearing the end of their life professors tend give one last lecture reflecting their life lessons. most people don't know it's their literal last lecture, but Randy was diagnosed with terminal cancer at 40s and he is an interesting guy I wish I could've met.
Everybody should read it, or at least watch the video on Youtube. It changed my life.
