Maria Shriver and Randy Pausch

"I've Been Thinking..." is sitting alongside Randy Pausch's "The Last Lecture".
I laughed, cried, smiled, and reflected and then I went to Amazon and bought "I've Been Thinking..." for all three of my girls (the last book I bought them all was the Last Lecture).
My 12 year old is almost done with it and I can tell she's getting something out of it. There are areas in this book that anyone with a pulse can relate to and I get a giggle every time my 26 year old calls me laughing and says "you SURE you didn't write this?". I'm always grateful to the people who take the time to write down my thoughts....LOL!

This is a very beautiful book!

The reflections and the prayers really resonated for me, and hearing her read her words was the icing on this beautiful book.

Great read!

Really enjoyed reading this book and will probably reread before the end of the year. I found the lessons to be insightful and inspirating.

Exactly what I needed

She speaks from such great life experiences! You can tell that her advise is very genuine. This book made me have such admiration and respect for her as a woman. Her advice in this book was so helpful!

Highly Recommend

This was my first audio book and I really enjoyed it especially hearing Maria narrate it. I didn’t personally know of the book but saw it was recommended. I have now searched her out to follow her on social media and via her website. I want to keep in contact with her and what she has to say.
