Myra Goodman is a well-known pioneer in the world of organic food and farming. In 1984, she and her husband, Drew, founded Earthbound Farm, which became the largest grower of organic produce in the world. The Goodmans have been credited with helping to bring organic food to the mainstream, and Myra was one of four farmers chosen by the James Beard Foundation and US Department of State to represent the United States in a prominent “conversations” video at the entrance to the US pavilion at the 2015 World’s Fair.  She has appeared on national television shows including Oprah, Regis & Kelly, and Good Morning America Health; has been featured in hundreds of publications, including People magazine, the Costco Connection, More, Forbes, the New York Times, and AARP; and is the author of three cookbooks. Myra and Drew have two grown children and continue to live on their original farm in Carmel Valley with their three yellow labs, Oscar, Henry, and Leo.

Born into a Hassidic Jewish family in Poland in 1924, Mendek Rubin grew up surrounded by extreme anti-Semitism. Armed only 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, Mendek—despite having no money or professional skills—came up with inventions that eventually helped revolutionize both the jewelry and packaged-salad industries. Remarkably, he also applied his ingenuity to his own psyche, developing innovative ways to heal his heart and overcome decades of unrelenting depression to live a life of deep peace and boundless joy.

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, 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.
