Both Anita Goswami and Mansukh Patels' inspiration for writing the Turning Point book arose as a result of the insights they gained through meeting people on their travels on peace walks and in war zones. As Mansukh says, ‘Life is a series of turning points. Sometimes they are major events that dramatically alter the course of our lives but often they can be small , seemingly insignificant moments in time that nevertheless move us into another gear or a new direction.'
