The Last Lecture

Such a great and inspiring book. It's even better if you've seen the lecture itself.
I still don't get the review by people who say he's talking about himself and this not having any lessons. Hello, many of the chapter's titles are literally lessons (Dream big, Look for the Best in Everybody). And of course he has to be talking about himself! This is not a freaking general self-help book. He is a dying man wanting to leave his legacy for his kids and others, so why does it have to hurt just mentioning the best parts of it. He's suppose to tell people about his life and not go everywhere collecting evidences for his point like other self-help books.
Look at this book with an open mind. He's mentioned that this is only how he's done it, so why complaining that it's not entirely 100% applying for you. There are many ways to take a lesson.
