Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. An inspirational biography of a Holocaust survivor overcoming depression and PTSD. An essential new addition to Jewish Holocaust history.

Download or read book A Journey Within written by Olivia Fraser and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2019-11-25 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Journey Within documents Olivia Fraser's acclaimed paintings over the last decade, which reflect her remarkable inner quest towards elaboration by simplification. Following her induction into Indian miniature painting in a traditional Jaipur atelier, Fraser's focus shifted from painting the world around her to depicting a landscape more metaphysical in nature. Trained by her Jaipuri gurus, she learned to grind and mix mineral pigments to their correct consistency. She is especially influenced by Nathdwara pichwai paintings and early nineteenth-century Jodpuri Mansingh-period imagery, produced by the Nath yogis, whose visual language reaches back to an archetypal iconography rooted in India's deepest and most philosophical artistic heritage -- complex abstract thoughts captured in seemingly simple visual language. The work Fraser has produced inspired by these twin muses is nevertheless profoundly contemporary, breaching both temporal and geographical borders, emerging as it does from her twin life between East and West.

Download or read book Journey Within the Human Womb written by Patrick LOISEAU and published by Babelcube Inc.. This book was released on 2019-11-04 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sometimes while searching a course, there is a silent and timely fight between the compass and the dream ... The compass indicates to the North of the journey to be accomplished while the dream strives to place (healthy) sticks in the wheels, for the greater good, naturally, of discovery, the unexpected and certain revelation... Our hero, although quite common, experienced this initiation journey. He took the path of scholars, looking for some kind of chimeric guru, and later on had several encounters, some richer than others. But his journey has the characteristic that it takes place not on the moon, on a mystery island, in a balloon adrift at the world’s mercy, or even in the centre of the earth itself ... No! This journey shall take place in the human womb, this human womb we claim to know so well, and yet it is still a stranger for us, a paradoxical place where discrete beings hide to operate the pulleys of our ontological disguises.

The result is a rich tapestry of thought-provoking insights into the inexhaustible connections between literature and quest.
