Dr. Siji Raveendran launches ‘Mind Mastery’ at SIBF

Like always the Writers Forum of Sharjah International Book Fair (SIBF) witnessed unveiling of many books this year too. But one book which stood out in the crowd and will definitely be on everyone’s table is “Mind Mastery” written by Dubai-based Indian clinical psychologist Dr. Siji Raveendran.

Coming from Kerala, Dr. Raveendran received her education from Amsterdam and Bali, Indonesia, before moving on to India. She had the privilege of working at the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS) — a very reputed hospital in Bengaluru, India. She has been a Dubai resident for the past four years, but in such a short span of time, she has become very popular for the work she has been doing.

Dr. Raveendran launched her book on Thursday evening in the presence of guests, media and her admirers who have seen transformation in their lives themselves. Written in very simple language, the 160-page self-help book is going to help readers for sure. It is written from the perspective of helping people. The book covers almost all the topics a normal person comes across in their day-to-day life. It has become all the more important in this era where people are talking about wellness.

An excellent orator and inspiring person, Dr. Raveendran has put all her experiences of helping people in her new book, and that’s why her book reads like a page-turner.

She made her debut in 2023 with her book “Conquer Your Fear To lead a Prosperous and Happy Life.” The book was well received and managed to inspire lots of people. No wonder her book launch event was flooded with lots of people who were waiting to get a copy of her latest book.

She has put special effort to make sure her book reaches out to each and everyone and that’s why she has kept it very simple.

Talking about her book she said, “I am a clinical psychologist and clinical hypnotherapist. Besides I do lots of corporate training programmes on different behavioural issues or stress managment. But my favourite area is children and women’s mental health. I see patients and I also make videos on different behavioural issues. Therefore, I get lots of queries from my clients on different topics. So I did some research on what challenges do people face generally. That’s how the idea of a book came into existence.”

I thought I should make it like a guide which can be easily carried out and people can learn techniques from it. The book has been divided into 11 chapters, she added.

She further revealed, “This book is designed to be a comprehensive guide that provides you with the tools, techniques and strategies that psychologist and life coaches use to help their clients overcome obstacles, build resilience, and create the lives they desire.”

“Whether people are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or simply want to improve their emotional intelligence and mindfulness.”

She added, “Writing ‘Mind Mastery’ has been an incredible journey, shaped by my decade-long experience as a clinical psychologist, clinical hypnotherapist, NLP trainer, life coach, emotional intelligence coach, and Transformation Mind Coach. The book is a culmination of the techniques and insights I have used to guide my clients towards personal and professional growth.”

“The book is designed as a practical tool that anyone can apply to improve their everyday life, enhance emotional well-being, and achieve personal mastery.”

It is amazing to see the way Dr. Raveendran has covered issues like mastering stress, building resilience, emotional intelligence, mindfulness, motivation, self-compassion or digital well-being.

Recipient of multiple-awards like Training Excellence Award, Best Psychologist in Dubai, Forever Ms. India Runner-up, the Real Super Women Award, Remarkable Women 2001 Award and many more, apart from helping and inspiring people, Dr. Raveendran has got an athletic bent of mind. She has been into horseriding, hiking and trekking. Talking about that she said, “I have been into these things since my childhood.”
