Sibisi said the book is targeted at goal-driven individuals who want to improve their lives through positive thinking. It focuses on the link between the mind and the body as they relate to positive thinking. The Power of Mind illustrates to readers how they can use their intellectual capacity to improve, achieve and model their happiness and success.
“The book aims to change the reader’s mind and awareness on viewing things differently. What a person wishes and prays for is actually answered when he complements his prayers with his thoughts and actions.
“The Power of Mind is an approach to having an optimistic outlook in any situation. It employs the state of mind to continue to seek, find and execute ways to win, regardless of circumstances. It opposes negativity, defeatism and hopelessness,” he says.
