Praise for:
Treasure Hunt
Treasure Hunt provides some well-worth-your-consideration guidance for todays emerging success seekers. Rather than looking at achieving success through the old maxims of yesterdays business models, the author, Rizwan Virk, shows us how the latest thinking based on quantum physics and specifically the multiverse/parallel universes models, provides you with new maps of understanding that can guide you to getting what you want navigating through todays jungle of multiple opportunities and dense misadventures.
Fred Alan Wolf PhD, aka Dr. Quantum, author of Parallel Universes, and Dr. Quantum Presents: Do-it-Yourself Time Travel
The world around us is speaking to us every day in a language of signs and symbols, if only we pay attention. Riz Virk is an active student of synchronicity. He invites us to look at the patterns of everyday life as a treasure map, offering clues we can follow to manifest our life dreams. Charmingly, he urges us to bring the spirit of Indiana Jones to our daily treasure hunt, and animates his book of clues with lively and instructive personal tales
Robert Moss, bestselling author of Conscious Dreaming, The Secret History of Dreaming and Sidewalk Oracles: Playing with Signs, Symbols and Synchronicity in Everyday Life
Riz Virk has made an important contribution to understanding how real success happens. It is more than luck, hard work and brainsan intuitive and consciousness component distinguishes the ordinary from the truly great. As an emergency and trauma MD, I have had many cases where my gut instincts, or intuition, made the difference between life and death. It turns out, this deeper aspect of mind or consciousness is always operating, and we can train ourselves to connect to this inner knowing voice. Everyone can enhance their lives and their careers by understanding what Riz Virk explains in this important new book.

Contents
Your time is limited, so dont waste it living someone elses life. Dont be trapped by dogmawhich is living with the results of other peoples thinking.
Dont let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

THE CLUES
CHAPTER 1
Follow the Clues to Find the Treasure
Overview
When I was a kid, I was a big fan of adventure films like Raiders of the Lost Ark, where the legendary archaeologist, Indiana Jones (played by Harrison Ford), sets out with his friends to find the treasure. It didnt matter whether it was the Ark of the Covenant or the Holy Grail or some other random treasureit was exciting to watch the twists and turns that led our heroes to the treasure.
