The Last Lecture
After being diagnosed with terminal cancer, a professor shares the lessons he's learned—about living in the present, building a legacy, and taking full advantage of the time you have—in this life-changing classic. "We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand." —Randy Pausch 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. And while they speak, audiences can't help but mull over the same question: 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 has combined the humor, inspiration and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a book that will be shared for generations to come.

The underlying SCM themes of accountability, maturity, independence, personal responsibility, and intrinsic motivation are all there and weave their way throughout the entirety of the book. Together, they form a simple, unique, and sometimes contrarian approach to classroom management that anyone can do. Whether you're an elementary, middle, or high school teacher, The Smart Classroom Management Way will give you the strategies, skills, and know-how to turn any group of students into the motivated, well-behaved class you love teaching.
Ridiculous Excuses
""Ridiculous Excuses"" explores the fascinating world of elaborate justifications, examining why people create outlandish stories to avoid responsibility. This book delves into the psychology of excuse-making, uncovering how these narratives impact workplace dynamics and organizational culture. Did you know that the excuses people offer often reflect deeper issues like fear of consequences or communication breakdowns? The book progresses by first introducing excuse typologies, then dissecting real-world examples from schools and workplaces, and finally offering strategies for managers to foster accountability. The book argues that these excuses highlight a lack of accountability, potential communication breakdowns, or an underlying fear of consequences. By analyzing examples of absurd excuses throughout history and in contemporary settings, ""Ridiculous Excuses"" reveals valuable insights into human behavior and deception. It uses a mixed-methods approach, blending quantitative data with qualitative insights to present a comprehensive analysis. The bookâs target audience will appreciate its unique blend of humor and actionable advice in tackling a pervasive, often overlooked, workplace problem.
