Review title: Totally Disappointed
Product review: I picked this for a book club based on the many great reviews and fertile topics of discussion the book seemed to bring. Unfortunately, I found the afforisms in the book to be light weight and the sort of thing one might read in a fortune cookie. "Love each other or perish";"Forgive yourself before you die. Then forgive others"; "Dying is only one thing to be sad over. Living unhappily is something else." I also found the author coming across as opportunistic. He sought out his college professor only after finding out from the Ted Kopple Show that the professor was dying of a disease process in his 80's. The author loses his job AFTER finding the professor and then begins his book writing effort supposedly at the encouragement of the professor. The author emphasizes that the book was the professor's idea several times. Not life changing; not entertaining; but short at least. I found The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch to be a thousand times more inspirational.
