A Life changing story that offers hope & wisdom

Revisado: 05-06-20

In this fascinating and unique book, I was gently transported into Mendek Rubin’s world, and I emerged with a great deal more wisdom and a feeling of calm and hope — which I didn’t expect to feel from the subject matter.  We first meet the author as a boy in Poland growing up in a Hassidic family, and then learn how as a teen he survived several Nazi concentration camps through a combination of ingenuity and luck. Subsequently, Mendek moved to America where he achieved business success, had a loving marriage and two children. Yet despite his many achievements, Mendek was still depressed and burdened by negative thoughts about himself and the world. A brilliant inventor and problem solver, Rubin eventually turned his skills to the examination of this predicament and made it his life’s goal to understand why our minds torture us and how do we find true peace and happiness.

In Quest for Eternal Sunshine, Mendek takes the reader along on his journey to retrain his brain and rid himself of the self doubt and anger that had previously imprisoned him. He demonstrates what it means to choose to see the world as safe instead of dangerous, how to find forgiveness instead of anger, and to experience love and beauty all around instead of fear. Mendek finds more joy as his journey unfolds, until he is living his life in a state of contentment and bliss. By sharing the tools that he used on his quest, Mendek gives readers insight into finding and healing our own wounds. Although at first glance the book may seem geared to those interested in WWII history or trauma recovery, I greatly recommend this book to any reader 18 and older.
