Publisher's Summary

Quest for Eternal Sunshine chronicles the triumphant, true story of Mendek Rubin, a brilliant inventor who overcame both the trauma of the Holocaust and decades of unrelenting depression to live a life of deep peace and boundless joy.

Born into a Hassidic Jewish family in Poland in 1924, Mendek grew up surrounded by extreme anti-Semitism. Armed with an ingenious mind, he survived three horrific years in Nazi slave-labor concentration camps while virtually his entire family was murdered in Auschwitz. After arriving in America in 1946 — despite having no money or professional skills — his inventions helped revolutionize both the jewelry and packaged-salad industries. Remarkably, Mendek also applied his ingenuity to his own psyche, developing innovative ways to heal his heart and end his emotional suffering.

After Mendek died in 2012, his daughter, Myra Goodman, found an unfinished manuscript in which he’d revealed the intimate details of his healing journey. Quest for Eternal Sunshine — the extraordinary result of a posthumous father-daughter collaboration — tells Mendek’s whole story and is filled with eye-opening revelations, effective self-healing techniques, and profound wisdom that have the power to transform the way we live our lives.

Refreshing deviation from most books at Audible

I enjoyed this book immensely. If you think it will be like most survivor books you will be surprised. Suffering is not omitted but the main character lives a long life traversing the hills and valleys of various experiences over the decades. Fortunately he jotted his thoughts down initially on full pieces of paper and then bits of scrap. His approach to‘reprogramming his thoughts is not entirely unique but for a man with little formal education it is remarkable. Even those of us with decades of formal education there is much to learn.
