The Last Lecture (Thorndike Nonfiction)

A lot of professors give talks titled "The Last Lecture." Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them. And while they speak audiences can't help but mull the same question: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow what would we want as our legacy?

When Randy Pausch a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon was asked to give such a lecture he didn't have to imagine it as his last since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave--"Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams"--wasn't about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles of enabling the dreams of others of seizing every moment (because "time is all you have...and you may find one day that you have less than you think"). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living.

In this book Randy Pausch has combined the humor inspiration and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a book that will be shared for generations to come.

"We cannot change the cards we are dealt just how we play the hand." --Randy Pausch

Man's Search for Meaning

When Beacon Press first published Man's Search for Meaning in 1959 Carl Rogers called it "one of the outstanding contributions to psychological thought in the last fifty years." In the thirty-three years since then this book - at once a memoir a self-help book and a psychology manual - has become a classic that has sold more than three million copies in English language editions. Man's Search for Meaning tells the chilling and inspirational story of eminent psychiatrist Viktor Frankl who was imprisoned at Auschwitz and other concentration camps for three years during the Second World War. Immersed in great suffering and loss Frankl began to wonder why some of his fellow prisoners were able not only to survive the horrifying conditions but to grow in the process. Frankl's conclusion - that the most basic human motivation is the will to meaning - became the basis of his groundbreaking psychological theory logotherapy. As Nietzsche put it "He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how." In Man's Search for Meaning Frankl outlines the principles of logotherapy and offers ways to help each one of us focus on finding the purpose in our lives. This new edition of Man's Search for Meaning includes a new preface by the author in which he explains his decision to remain in his native Austria during the Nazi invasion a choice which eventually led to his imprisonment. It also includes an updated bibliography of books articles records films videotapes and audio tapes about logotherapy.[]

The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer

The Emperor of All Maladies is a magnificent profoundly humane “biography” of cancer—from its first documented appearances thousands of years ago through the epic battles in the twentieth century to cure control and conquer it to a radical new understanding of its essence. Physician researcher and award-winning science writer Siddhartha Mukherjee examines cancer with a cellular biologist’s precision a historian’s perspective and a biographer’s passion. The result is an astonishingly lucid and eloquent chronicle of a disease humans have lived with—and perished from—for more than five thousand years.

The story of cancer is a story of human ingenuity resilience and perseverance but also of hubris paternalism and misperception. Mukherjee recounts centuries of discoveries setbacks victories and deaths told through the eyes of his predecessors and peers training their wits against an infinitely resourceful adversary that just three decades ago was thought to be easily vanquished in an all-out “war against cancer.” The book reads like a literary thriller with cancer as the protagonist.

From the Persian Queen Atossa whose Greek slave may have cut off her diseased breast to the nineteenth-century recipients of primitive radiation and chemotherapy to Mukherjee’s own leukemia patient Carla The Emperor of All Maladies is about the people who have soldiered through fiercely demanding regimens in order to survive—and to increase our understanding of this iconic disease.

Riveting urgent and surprising The Emperor of All Maladies provides a fascinating glimpse into the future of cancer treatments. It is an illuminating book that provides hope and clarity to those seeking to demystify cancer.[]
