“Often, patients given a terminal diagnosis reach a surprising, transforming conclusion–you have to be ready to die to embrace being alive. But Lee Lipsenthal tells his story with such intimacy and humanity that this paradoxical fact can be accessed even by those who have not (yet) leaned out over the abyss. To deny death is to deny life. Read Enjoy Every Sandwich to know why.”
–Andrew Weil, M.D., New York Times bestselling author of Healthy Aging and 8 Weeks to Optimum Health
 
“This book is about the lessons one learns on the journey from understanding the experience of life and all its difficulties. It contains the profound wisdom derived from the greatest teacher, our mortality. So read on and learn how to spend your life’s precious time with more love and less fear.”
–-Bernie Siegel, M.D., Author of Peace, Love & Healing, and Love, Medicine & Miracles
 
“With courage and candor, Dr. Lee Lipsenthal shows us that facing death means facing life: Your own, and the lives of those around you. After his stunning diagnosis of an often-fatal cancer, Dr. Lipsenthal embarks on a journey of bravery, practicality, and humor to guide his way through the greatest of uncertainties. He allows us in, during the dark days and the brighter ones. Let Dr. Lipsenthal be your guide on a journey that, ultimately, all of us will take.”
–Clint Eastwood
 
“What if you were not afraid to die? What if the universal fear that makes us small was suddenly gone and you were free? How would you live then? Lee Lipsenthal’s beautiful memoir of the first 18 months of his journey with cancer reads at times as a prose poem, at times as a wisdom story and at times as an invitation to the Dance. To read it is to step through a door that opens only one way into a larger life. Of all the books you’ve read this year, this is the one that will heal you.”
–Rachel Naomi Remen MD, author of Kitchen Table Wisdom and My Grandfather’s Blessings
 
“If you want to learn to love with your whole heart, so that when you come to the end of your life you will have no regrets, Lee Lipsenthal’s gracious and caring book is for you. In revealing his own struggles, and doing so with remarkable transparency and responsibility, Lee has not just written a book that is filled with grounded inspiration and hard-earned wisdom. He has written a book that you will never forget.”
–John Robbins, Author of Diet for a New America, Healthy at 100, and The New Good Life
