I have to say this book does not particularly excite me. Although, the title is certainly more inspiring than places I should see before I die. Let's see some originality in the travel writing field, instead of a rehash of the same old thing.

"Make the Most of Your Time on Earth" reminds me of the final lecture of Prof. Randy Pausch at Carnegie Mellon University last month. He's got terminal cancer but gave the most upbeat and insightful lecture on achieving your childhood dreams. Pretty amazing, worth watching the video: http://www.cmu.edu/homepage/innovation/2007/fall/words-to-live-by.shtml
