Raju Mandhyan’s “Heart of Humor” Book Launching at Fully Booked, Serendra (Fort Bonifacio)

If you’re in Greater Manila (or if you’re visiting the Philippines at that time), mark your calendars for Tuesday, April 1, 2008 for a Book Launching event at Fully Booked, Serendra-Fort Bonifacio. A friend of mine, Raju Mandhyan — motivational speaker extraordinaire, a mind-mapping coach (Tony Buzan method), and a Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) advocate (yes, the same belief system that Anthony “Tony” Robbins has) — just came out with his second book, “Heart of Humor.” Raju’s first book, “Heart of Public Speaking,” is one of my best-loved resources in my personal library. Where else can you meet a Fil-Indian who speaks English, Hindi, and Tagalog AND who’s a veteran public speaker who keeps cajoling us to be authentic speakers?

I met Raju in 1998 through Padma Mangharam Siap, another wonderful motivational speaker and drama coach. They sometimes have joint speaking engagements. I enjoy my multi-cultural and inter-ethnic interactions with both of them since they keep me laughing and engaged — and they definitely keep me on my toes. When Raju isn’t busy with his speaking engagements, he’s a devoted single dad. Ah yes, he likes biking. When he visits San Francisco, I have a request from Raju to find him a bike.

For samples of his speeches and interviews, check out Raju Mandhyan’s YouTube videos.

I hope some of you can make it to this special event. Please let Raju know that I sent you to the book launching!

Here’s the text of the e-mail invitation I received.

May I have the honor of your presence at the launch of my book,

the HEART of HUMOR

The Heart of Humor is written and designed for all those who believe that all the melodious sounds of laughter are in praise and appreciation of this wonderful gift of life.

Wrapped between simple explanations of the nuances and the benefits of laughter are seven simple language techniques which will highlight for you what makes us all laugh and how.
