Product Description:
This beautifully written, heartfelt memoir touched a nerve among both readers and reviewers. Elizabeth Gilbert tells how she made the difficult choice to leave behind all the trappings of modern American success (marriage, house in the country, career) and find, instead, what she truly wanted from life. Setting out for a year to study three different aspects of her nature amid three different cultures, Gilbert explored the art of pleasure in Italy and the art of devotion in India, and then a balance between the two on the Indonesian island of Bali. By turns rapturous and rueful, this wise and funny author (whom Booklist calls “Anne Lamott’s hip, yoga- practicing, footloose younger sister”) is poised to garner yet more adoring fans.

The book is excellent, and a good read that's hard to put down. Elizabeth Gilbert did and excellent job in sharing her journey to get closer with God, in this book. This book has change my views on the day to day stressors and how I handled them. My development with God has truly been changed in reading this book, I have found God to be so wonderful and exciting and my life has truly changed for the better.

This book is a road map illustrating beautifully---and at times quite humorously--- how one person made sense of this world by connecting to the Other. It's a wonderfully written guide to drawing back the curtain that hides us from our true nature, from God's presence within us.

Rarely does an author convey such important lessons with such a delicious and delightful ... Read More

A memoir about Gilbert's journey through Italy, India, and Indonesia following her painful divorce. The book is divided into 3 equal sections. The first, and my favorite, details her gustatory journey through Italy. She then goes on to discover spirituality in India and, finally, love in Indonesia. I did not find the book particularly inspiring or uplifting though I wouldn't go so far as to say I disliked it. Again, I found the journey through Italy to be humorous and lighthearted. As for the ... Read More

There are several themes to this book beyond the three segments. Supposedly it was a woman's search for love, which she seems to have found to some tolerable degree.
Personally, I did not connect to her emotional flailing,nor did I find much wisdom or solace in various types of pizza, and often felt that I could get a better description of Italy from a travel folder, and nearly put the book aside. And yet, I kept on reading and reading and finally got to India, which was Very interesting. I learned ... Read More

I enjoyed reading Ms. Gilbert's account of her travels and experiences. She writes really well and is very entertaining. However, I found the extremes she went through to quell her emotional pain and find her center well outside of the "norm" (I mean how many of us can take a year off to travel the world because we've had a divorce or breakup with a significant other?) and a little ridiculous for a grown women if you ask me, but to each his/her own, I guess. If you're not looking for anything too spiritual ... Read More
