As medical director of the famed Preventive Medicine Research Institute, Lee Lipsenthal helped thousands of patients struggling with disease to overcome their fears of pain and death and to embrace a more joyful way of living. In his own life, happily married and the proud father of two remarkable children, Lee was similarly committed to living his life fully and gratefully each day. 

The power of those beliefs was tested in July 2009, when Lee was diagnosed with esophageal cancer. As Lee and his wife, Kathy, navigated his diagnosis, illness, and treatment, he discovered that he did not fear death, and that even as he was facing his own mortality, he felt more fully alive than ever before. In the bestselling tradition of Tuesdays with Morrie, told with humor and heart, and deeply inspiring, Enjoy Every Sandwich distills everything Lee learned about how we find meaning, purpose, and peace in our lives.

Tom’s Take:              

I happened across this book in the new releases at the Library- I'm glad I picked it up. Similar to the “Last Lecture”, this book is a very eye opening look inside the mind of a Doctor as he copes with, and faces his impending death. It centers on the approach of embracing the end of this life as a transition to the next, and encourages readers to focus more on what is really important in life: Family and relationships. The book is an excellent read, and will definitely cause you to reassess your priorities.
