He was asked to give a last lecture and a packed hall experiences something profound: A man who is happy in the face of death. As he says at the beginning: If I dont seem as depressed or morose as I should be, sorry to disappoint you. He also told people not to pity him: I am in phenomenally good health right now; its the greatest cognitive dissonance you will ever see the fact is, Im in better shape than most of you, he said.
