The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch
Carnegie-Mellon professor Pausch delivered a “last lecture” after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. Built around the theme of “fulfilling your childhood dreams” the filmed lecture became a YouTube sensation, and was expanded into this book. Far from being depressing, this book is uplifting and inspirational as the author talks about dreams fulfilled and lays out his hopes for his children.

What Now? by Anne Patchett
Based on a commencement address the award-winning author delivered at her alma mater, Sarah Lawrence College, What Now? speaks of the benefits of not having a definitive “life plan” the minute your graduate from college. Patchett recounts some of her own struggles when facing life’s crossroads, and generally makes it clear that sometimes it’s okay to just wing it. Great for new grads, soon-to-be grads, or anyone else at a turning point in their lives.
