This review applies to the entire series, not just this particular segment. I'm not sure why these lectures are so appealing, but I honestly enjoyed them even more than I expected. The stream of consciousness format and random anecdotes packed decades of experience into a few hours. I found myself laughing out loud many times; the humor and casual style are very entertaining. The interaction with Howard's family and staff was endearing and inspiring.
