My Last Lecture by Norm Miller aimed at general life and career advice

This final lecture in book form is inspired by Randy Pausch, a distinguished professor at Carnegie Mellon University, who, before his untimely passing in 2008, shared profound wisdom with students and readers alike. His work, imbued with hope, purpose, and reflection, continues to resonate as a guide for those embarking on new chapters of their lives. In that same spirit, Dr. Miller offers his own insights, derived from nearly five decades spent in academia.
