Dr.Mani Sivasubramanian is a heart surgeon who actively spreads awareness about congenital heart disease (CHD) and raises funds to sponsor heart surgery for under-privileged children in India.

His fundraising efforts involve writing, with a share of profits from every book sold going to help a child live. The non-profit Dr.Mani Children Heart Foundation has already funded heart surgery in 151 children - with many more to follow.

This was made possible by a network of fantastic people just like you who have bought, read and enjoyed the books Dr.Mani has written. He hopes that you'll continue to support this initiative and spread word about CHD awareness.

And buy a book - or ten. You're helping heal a child's heart!

He urged me to write from the unique perspective of a doctor, a heart specialist.

So I did. And 'The Emotion Prism' was very popular among readers. That encouraged me to start on another work with a similar, if not related, message. That's how I got inspired to write THE ICEDROP.

I had no idea back then that it would stretch out to so many years, and that the book itself would grow and evolve along with me!(less)

It didn't come to me in a flash of inspiration or enlightenment. Thirty years of life experiences stand behind these timeless concepts.

As a heart surgeon for children, who later changed gears to also take on roles of non-profit fund raiser, writer, entrepreneur and coach, my career has seen many twists and turns driven by ambition, and a desire to face and conquer challenges.

Along the way, I learned many lessons. Some were painless. Others, painful. A positive attitude towards enquiring, learning, testing out and confirming these lessons is what this book is about.

From this rich experience were distilled the concepts which I highlight throughout 'THE ICEDROP'. Concepts that could change the way you see things - forever. Simple shifts to the way you think, that will help you harness your real power and true potential. Patterns of behaviour that will convince you that it's ok to follow your heart.(less)
