Book description
Lee Lipsenthal had a charmed life: married to the love of his life,
the proud father of two remarkable children, working as medical
director of the Preventive Medicine Research Institute. In his
personal relationships and with his patients, Lee was committed to
living his life fully and gratefully each day.
The power of those beliefs were tested in July 2009 when he was
diagnosed with esophageal cancer, leaving him with a 90 percent chance
of dying within five years. As Lee and his wife Kathy navigated his
diagnosis, illness and treatment, he discovered that he did not fear
death, and even as he faced his own mortality, he felt more fully
alive than ever before.
In the bestselling tradition of Don't Sweat the Small Stuff
and The Last Lecture, Enjoy Every Sandwich distils
everything Lee learned about how we find meaning, purpose and peace in
our lives. Told with humour and heart, this deeply inspiring book will
help readers embrace their humanity, accept uncertainty and live a
life of gratitude - whether they are facing the end now or not.
LEE LIPSENTHAL, M. D., ABIHM, trained in the prevention of heart
disease and in integrative medicine. A popular and respected speaker and
author, he was the medical director of Dean Ornish's Preventive Medicine
Research Institute for a decade and also served as president of the
American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine.
