A celebrated writer’s irresistible, candid, and eloquent account of her pursuit of worldly pleasure, spiritual devotion, and what she really wanted out of life
Around the time Elizabeth Gilbert turned thirty, she went through an early-onslaught midlife crisis. She had everything an educated, ambitious American woman was supposed to want—a husband, a house, a successful career. But instead of feeling happy and fulfilled, she was consumed with panic, grief, and confusion. She went through a divorce, a crushing depression, another failed love, and the eradication of everything she ever thought she was supposed to be.
To recover from all this, Gilbert took a radical step. In order to give herself the time and space to find out who she really was and what she really wanted, she got rid of her belongings, quit her job, and undertook a yearlong journey around the world—all alone. Eat, Pray, Love is the absorbing chronicle of that year. Her aim was to visit three places where she could examine one aspect of her own nature set against the backdrop of a culture that has traditionally done that one thing very well. In Rome, she studied the art of pleasure, learning to speak Italian and gaining the twenty-three happiest pounds of her life. India was for the art of devotion, and with the help of a native guru and a surprisingly wise cowboy from Texas, she embarked on four uninterrupted months of spiritual exploration. In Bali, she studied the art of balance between worldly enjoyment and divine transcendence. She became the pupil of an elderly medicine man and also fell in love the best way—unexpectedly.
An intensely articulate and moving memoir of self-discovery, Eat, Pray, Love is about what can happen when you claim responsibility for your own contentment and stop trying to live in imitation of society’s ideals. It is certain to touch anyone who has ever woken up to the unrelenting need for change.
Elizabeth Gilbert is the author of a story collection, Pilgrims (a finalist for the PEN/Hemingway Award), a novel, Stern Men, and, most recently, The Last American Man, a finalist for the National Book Award in Nonfiction and the National Book Critics Circle Award. As a journalist, she wrote for GQ for five years and was nominated three times for the National Magazine Award.
当内心真的被触动,每个人都会有强烈的反应,对我来说是一种全身发麻,有一簇颤抖遍布于皮肤下。在听到斯美塔那的《伏尔塔瓦河》的主题乐曲时,在听到拉二的高潮部分时,在读到这本书最后的Attraversiamo的时候,明显感觉到从心底直涌上眼眶的那股想要流泪的冲动。 去年十月看...
评分说到睡前读物,《Eat pray love》绝对是极好的选择。边读就边想,一定要和你们分享这本书,但看到一半时,就送给了朋友。等到卓越再送书来,半个月已经过去了。可惜的是,朋友却无心看这本书。不禁感叹:有心栽花,花不开。我以为可以缓解她纠结许久的心事,却不料并无裨益。 ...
评分Before I got the book, I had heard so much about the author, about how great the book is, and about how people's lives changed because of it. Even Oprah invited Elizabeth Gilbert to her show twice! I am always very alert to those "life-changing" books,e...
评分对于价值观混乱无比的我来说,要用一个固定的标准来评价一些东西是一件十分困难的事情,所以我习惯了在评价物品时找一些参照物。 例如:当我在享受假期旅行时,会觉得一本差不多30块的书只不过是一天的小费而已;而当我开始迷恋芝士蛋糕时,这本书可就相当于我2块芝士蛋糕;很...

评分哪个选择才是最好的?
评分Until I've finished 90% of the book then i realized how the name of the book came out. It represents the theme of the three places of the whole year donation of herself, Italy for eating, India for praying, and Indonesia for love. Loved it. Maybe it's part of fate that you can find the loved one in your life, and before that, love yourself
评分看了一张意大利看不下去了,婆婆妈妈~
