Mita Mistry, Columnist, mindfulness-based cognitive ther-apist and acupuncturist What did Sweta Vikram do after a miraculous recovery from near death? She wrote this healing guide to long-term health for your creative mind, body, and soul. Linger a while with her book and let your body unwind and find peace of mind-the keys to setting your creative soul free. Cauvery Madhavan, author of The Tainted A Piece of Peace by Sweta Vikram is the book every woman needs to have by her bedside. Each chapter is a little piece of magic that is easy to digest after a long day. We can see ourselves in her stories and also gain greater insights into the expectations about a woman's role in our dysfunctional society. She guides us with ease from the lows of experiencing health problems, writer's block, and pandemic survival to the highs of loving deeply and stepping into our own power and spirituality. When times are hard, we just need to know that other women feel the same, as a form of self-empathy. I think every woman will see herself in this book and be glad to have read each juicy page. Amy Wheeler, Director of Training at Optimal State Yoga Therapy School & Former President of the Board of Directors at International Association of Yoga Therapists A Piece of Peace is a chronicle of events related to Vikram's illness and her triumphant return to life. She shares lessons learned on her way to recovery and imparts valuable advice to her readers that can be both life-changing and life-saving. Her story demonstrates the victory of valiance over despair. This is a timely read, especially, because many of us are in low spirits due to the Coronavirus. The Think Club, reviewed by Anil Shrivastava 'Musafir' This book is a pleasure to read. It is a great combination of personal experience and street-smart advice including some very potent lifestyle changes. The author draws upon diverse scenarios and situations and has a wonderful ability to connect everything with a common thread, so the continuity is seamless. What is also visible is vulnerability and deep inner strength. It then segues into very practical tips to stay healthy, physically and mentally, during the pandemic and culminates in sage advice to authors. I would highly recommend this book to people from all walks of life, and I'm confident that it will prove to be of immense benefit to anyone interested in achieving a state of healthy physical, intellectual, and spiritual well-being.
