The Last Lecture By : Randy Pausch READ BOOK NOW   DOWNLOAD BOOK NOW   Book Synopsis : 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: 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 h

One Friday in April: A Story of Suicide and Survival By : Donald Antrim READ BOOK NOW   DOWNLOAD BOOK NOW   Book Synopsis : As the sun lowered in the sky one Friday afternoon in April 2006, acclaimed author Donald Antrim found himself on the roof of his Brooklyn apartment building, afraid for his life. In this moving memoir, Antrim vividly recounts what led him to the roof and what happened after he came back down: two hospitalizations, weeks of fruitless clinical trials, the terror of submitting to ECT?and the saving call from David Foster Wallace that convinced him to try it?as well as years of fitful recovery and setback.One Friday in April reframes suicide?whether in thought or action?as an illness in its own right, a unique consequence of trauma and personal isolation, rather than the choice of a depressed person. A necessary companion to William Styron?s classic Darkness Visible, this profound, insightful work sheds light on the tragedy and mystery of suicide, offering solace tha

Citadels of Pride: Sexual Abuse, Accountability, and Reconciliation By : Martha C. Nussbaum READ BOOK NOW   DOWNLOAD BOOK NOW   Book Synopsis : In this essential philosophical and practical reckoning, Martha C. Nussbaum, renowned for her eloquence and clarity of moral vision, shows how sexual abuse and harassment derive from using people as things to one?s own benefit?like other forms of exploitation, they are rooted in the ugly emotion of pride. She exposes three ?Citadels of Pride? and the men who hoard power at the apex of each. In the judiciary, the arts, and sports, Nussbaum analyzes how pride perpetuates systemic sexual abuse, narcissism, and toxic masculinity. The courage of many has brought about some reforms, but justice is still elusive?warped sometimes by money, power, or inertia; sometimes by a collective desire for revenge.By analyzing the effects of law and public policy on our ever-evolving definitions of sexual violence, Nussbaum clarifies how gaps in U.S. law allow thi
