Dr. Lee Lipsenthal believed in life balance before he was diagnosed with terminal metastatic cancer. Now he lives it. As a founder of Finding Balance in a Medical Life, Dr. Lipsenthal focuses on the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health of physicians and their families…
In Dr. Lipsenthal’s forthcoming book, Enjoy Every Sandwich, he hopes it will open the door for you to embrace your humanity, accept uncertainty, and live a life of gratitude. As medical director of the famed Preventive Medicine Research Institute, he has helped thousands of patients struggling with disease to overcome their fears of pain and death and to embrace a more joyful way of living. The power of his beliefs was tested in July 2009, when Dr. Lipsenthal was diagnosed with esophageal cancer. As he and his family navigated his diagnosis, illness, and treatment, Dr. Lipsenthal 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 Dr. Lipsenthal learned about how we find meaning, purpose, and peace in our lives.
