I agree whole heartedly with this book, I like self help books, I loved Mr Instability because it made me laugh hysterically, I loved the Last Lecture because it made me think, I loved this because he is right I try to live and love like its my last hour.

I was disappointed once I read this book. I thought it would be much more powerful. I love Richard Carlson's work and his death is untimely. It is very unfortunate for his family, as well as his readers.
This book is a nice little tribute to his life and love for his wife and children. I think I just went into it believe it would be more dynamic or heartwrenching. In other words, I thought it might bring out more emotion from the reader than it did.
It is a nicely written tribute but honestly the most powerful part of the entire thing is the poem that someone else had written at the end. The poem ties in perfect with the story of Kris and Richards life together. This review is not meant to be malicious, just an honest response. I have high respect for the Carlson family and their work. God belss them.
If you are looking for a quick read, this is a good one. It took me about an hour and half to get through it. I hope this helps. :)
Love this book. March 1, 2008

If everyone takes a few minutes of their lives and think. What is considered most important in life? Wealth or love? If you choose wealth, I am sorry for you. But if you choose love, then may your life full of joy. Read this book, recommended.

It is in the nature of so many of us to far too often ignore the fundamental tenets of a successful life until it is too late. This powerful little book is such a great reminder of the importance of living every day like it is our last. For, none of us really know when our time on this earth will be over.
Triple kudos to the author Kristine Carlson for having the strength to share with us her sad, yet so empowering story of the sudden loss of her husband at 45. Her husband, Richard Carlson, had a huge impact on me....and many millions more...with his series of books urging us to not sweat the small stuff. Truly amazing that three years before his death that he wrote the thoughtful letter that forms the basis for this book. How wonderful that Kristine has chosen to share that letter so that all of us may be reminded to honor the truly important in our lives.
I highly, highly recommend that EVERY couple read and absorb the beautiful message in this book. Likewise for family members and partners of all kind.
Most importantly, readers...myself included...need to live the message. We need to make sure that all of our love ones know how important they are to us. In this hyper kinetic, stressed-out world, oh how easy it is to fail to do so.
Kristine, my heart goes out to you for your loss and for the manner in which you have transformed your loss into a gift to the world.
