Opening Hearts was a collaboration between me and an amazing cardiovascular surgeon, researcher, and man of faith. Why do you want to live longer?” Lester R. Sauvage, MD, asked patients before their life-saving surgery, knowing that the answer would aid their healing by bringing to their consciousness a motivation to live.
In Opening Hearts, Dr. Sauvage poses that same question and more for all of us: What is the purpose of my life? How can I live a life of meaning? What is happiness and how do I find it? What do my actions reveal about who or what I love? Why does it matter? He then guides us with his unique and very spiritual “heart wisdom” to find our answers.
He shares how the human body and the universe provide evidence for God. He reveals how spiritual awareness and life choices relate to healing, health, and happiness. And finally, he provides practical information to nurture the body, mind, and spirit. His goal: to help you create a life full of love and purpose.
During his career, this Renaissance-style philosopher-surgeon-scientist performed 10,000+ surgeries, many miraculous. His research lab abounded with life-saving medical devices and advances. Yet he said his most important discovery was recognizing that love is the ultimate medicine that heals our body, mind, and spirit. The Better Life Press website has more praise for the book and information about Dr. Sauvage, along with comments from Mother Teresa, with whom he had exchanged multiple letters of mutual support and encouragement.
