Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
Sam Siv has profound interest in areas concerning personal growth and spiritual development. He is a philosopher at heart, aside from being a fitness fanatic and adventurer by choice. He is fascinated by dreams; the dream world.
Sam’s daily rituals includes practicing yoga and meditation. He aims to achieve deep inner peacefulness and maintain simplicity in life. Instilled within him is an unrelenting desire to learn and share strategies in life that would inspire everyone to aspire for greatness and realization of their dreams, visions and missions.
Several of Sam Siv’s academic ventures include the following: intellectual neuroscience, positive psychology, health and exercise and weddings. Most importantly, what he truly desires is to be a positive influence to other people.
The words of confucius inspired Sam Siv with this quote: “It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.” He encourages all he mentors to pursue their dreams and make incremental improvements towards goal attainment.
Through this all, Sam Siv has this to say: “If I have played only a tiny part in altering your life, made yet one good influence on you, left you with some brand-new idea, guided you in a new direction, or helped you take that next step on your journey, then I will certainly be greater than satisfied. If you were to leave right here with nothing else, I would certainly intend to leave you with this: Do not die with your songs still in you. There absolutely is nobody else that can sing your tune, but only you.”

Tell us a little about your latest book?
We’ve all seen Buddhist statues and monks in robes, we’ve heard about the Buddha and about meditation. But what does it all mean? How do we benefit from Buddhism, and what does it mean in our lives? What is Nirvana (besides a famous indie Rock band) and is it possible to reach it? Are all Buddhists vegetarian, and do they worship idols? What are the benefits and dangers of meditation?
This book is aimed at answering these questions and introducing you to the most important concepts of Buddhist thought, in a way that makes sense to the average Western reader, and in such a way that it can be easily put into practice. More and more people are investigating the ideas related to the Buddha, including mindfulness, inner-peace, meditation, compassion and more.
Some of this interest is related to recent discoveries in particle Science, and also new insights into the science of the mind. As scientific enquiry opens up realms of exploration into the miniscule world of sub-atomic particles, and into the realms of the mind, modern researches are finding hidden gems in the teachings of the legendary Sidartha Guatama, the Buddha. Things that are now coming to light were considered by Buddha 2,500 years ago.
What’s it all about? What is Buddhism, really?
