This is a good quick listen if you're in the right mood and headspace for end of life consideration from someone who sounds like an extroverted neurodivergent boomer who actually went to therapy and had some useful reflections. F cancer.

I recommend this to everyone.

It seems like such a light-hearted book. You can really hear Randy’s voice and spirit in the pages. As someone with a sometimes over analytical mind, I related a lot with some things he said. Overall, an easy read and good tips to think about. But the last few pages really hit hard and I stopped for several minutes just considering everything around me. The people, the places. Of course this is normal when you read about death but for some reason I felt like I had just lost a friend all of a sudden. Powerful, yet grows in small increments.

A positive, affirming book. Reminds me of the song that says "I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying."

It’s not about how to achieve your dreams. It’s about how to lead your life. If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you.

2.75 sorry idk it just didnt affect me too much. really i only genuinely liked the last few chapters. some of the advice seemed out of touch. im sure the actual lecture was better
