The Last Lecture

This book by Randy Pausch came up once on Andrew Huberman in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Andrew Huberman. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.

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”).
