Resumen del Editor

This book started as a collection of experiences that changed the way Rob Sullivan viewed spirituality, the world, and his place in it. It has evolved into a book about the important signs and mile-markers we all encounter, many of which only make sense in hindsight. It serves as both a reminder and a guidebook to open our eyes and minds to the experiences our intuition flags as important — even when we can’t make sense of them in the moment.

As the son of a specialist in Internal Medicine at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, Rob isn’t exactly the poster child for alternative medicine. However, after some of the best neurologists in the world diagnosed him with narcolepsy but were powerless to treat it effectively, Rob set out on an almost two-year mission to find a cure for the sleep disorder.

This is but one of many compelling personal experiences Rob—and others—share in A Trek Within: Following Your Inner Compass to inspire people to be open to the many miracles that happen around us.

It would be a mistake to view this book as a story of healing or a testimony to the power of alternative medicine, because that is only a small part of the book. The rest is a journey that explores intuition and intuitives, signs and synchronicities, the wisdom in dreams, the soul-nurturing power of prayer, messages from mediums — even past lives and numerology.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"This book does not claim anything. It holds no promise to change your life or to make things easier. It does not pledge to improve your daily routines, your way of thinking, or performance. And yet, it changed me.I discovered new paths, a new grid that helped me make decisions or at least be aware of different ways to approach my challenges. Moreover, I felt less alone.As if the navigation of my inner compass received an extra validation. And that is worth more than I could ever explain in words." —Josseline Ross (excerpt from Foreword)

Wow! Must read!

I was excited to pick this book for a few reasons:
1: Rob was my patient
2: I’m featured in the book
3: I was curious to see what this will be about!

I was always inspired by Rob’s positive attitude when I first met him on 15P for his first chemo treatment for lymphoma presenting as huge tumors near his heart. Following his frequent Facebook updates, I was intrigued by the amount of alternative healing he received and his view on life. This book recounts his life experiences, life lessons, and his philosophy of walking with the tumors rather than fighting them. This book has something for everyone and I believe we all can learn a little from this phenomenal book.

Each chapter has a quote, but a few resonated with me greatly:
“Nothing is so wretched or foolish as to anticipate misfortunes. What madness is it to be expecting evil before it comes -Lucius Annaeus Seneca
By nature, I am pretty pessimistic and I worry about bad things happening all the time. Frankly speaking, I think I have a right to be, but doesn’t mean I shouldn’t want to change. Reframing takes practice.

Rob states it is important to view the universe as a friendly place based off Albert Einstein’s lesson, “the most important question facing humanity is, ‘is the universe a friendly place?’ This is the first and most basic question all people must answer for themselves.” Rob goes on to mention that accepting the law of attraction and the idea that our thoughts create our experience, negative thoughts are unhealthy and we know this, but how many of us think negatively on a daily basis?

Rob speaks about alternative healing, intuitives, psychics, signs and synchronicities, etc. So if that’s something you are open to learning or exploring, picking this book is the right way to go!

An Amazing Journey…aka Trek: )

Having just finished Rob’s latest book, I am only disappointed that it is finished. “A Trek Within” is a humble, heartfelt and wise shared experience. Instead of telling his audience what he has learned, Rob shares his insights, ah-ha moments and tough lessons along with those of his friends and acquaintances in a way that is honest, caring and entertaining. It really felt like we were walking together and sharing our experiences for this crazy thing called life. I love how despite life handing Rob some tough breaks, he never lost his sense of humor, optimism and philosophy that we are all here, experiencing exactly what we are supposed to, in order to learn and grow. This is a beautiful book and one that I will forever be better for having read. I am incredibly grateful for Rob sharing this intimate walk through his incredible life and encourage everyone to share in the experience…both by reading (actually listening because Rob is a wonderful speaker) and sharing your story on his website. We are all better together…especially with Rob being the willing glue:)
