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. 600 10 $a Rubin, Mendek. 650 0 $a Holocaust survivors $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Holocaust survivors $z Poland $v Biography. 650 0 $a Mental health. 650 0 $a Self-care, Health. 700 1 $a Goodman, Myra, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20200602014552.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=14DB2CF8A49B11EA9676382F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
