Enjoy Every Sandwich: Living Each Day As If It Were Your Last (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
I didn't really care for this book too much. The author is a big proponent of "New Age," supernatural practices. The odd thing is that he believes in the stuff without actually any set of underlying beliefs. For example, he says that what he experiences may be from God or may be something else.Two stars because I do think that generally being happy, forgiving, reducing stress, and not fearing death are all good practices, and the author discusses these in the book. I also appreciated his views that a few minutes of meditation or prayer each day can have significant long term benefits. Lipsenthal has an easy flowing style that makes staying engaged with the book easy. As a medical doctor his lessons learned surrounding death, fear and anxiety seem to carry a unique perspective. Opening up new insights into what a life of meaning, purpose and peace might look like. A purposeful life is certainly not a unique concept nor is writing about it, but it is rare to hear about it from someone with a strong science background. One must be warned that Lee goes into the metaphysical quite a bit and stretches way outside the comfortable norms of western views on many subjects. I suspect for most this will discredit much of what he has to say, but I have learned over time to largely ignore rather than discredit that which I am not fully aware of. Your mileage may vary. Did some one say sandwich? nom. nom. nom.
What do You think about Enjoy Every Sandwich: Living Each Day As If It Were Your Last (2011)?
Although it is tragic that the author died, that doesn't make the book any less lame.
