New Releases by Lee Lipsenthal

Dopo "I miei martedì col professore" e "L''ultima lezione" il libro che ha commosso nuovamente l''America.

Viva cada momento como se fosse o último. Enquanto diretor médico do reconhecido Instituto de Pesquisas em Medicina Preventiva, na Califórnia, Lee Lipsenthal ajudou milhares de pacientes que sofriam com doenças a superar seus medos da dor e da morte, adotando uma forma mais alegre de viver. O poder de suas crenças foi testado em julho de 2009, quando o doutor foi diagnosticado com câncer no esôfago, após descobrir uma obstrução no esôfago ao comer um sanduíche. Ao mesmo tempo em que ele e sua esposa Kathy passavam por seu diagnóstico, doença e tratamento, ele descobriu que não sentia medo da morte e que, mesmo diante de sua mortalidade, se sentia mais vívido do que em qualquer outro momento. Narrado com humor e paixão e profundamente inspirador, Aproveite cada sanduíche filtra tudo que o Dr. Lee Lipsenthal aprendeu sobre como encontrar sentido, motivo e paz na vida. Neste livro, ele deixa o seu legado e confirma o que Mark Twain já dizia há mais de um século: "O medo da morte vem do medo da vida; o homem que vive plenamente está preparado para morrer a qualquer hora."

Distills everything that Lee Lipsenthal, diagnosed with terminal cancer in his early fifties, learned about finding meaning, purpose, and peace in our lives.
