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.

读后感
还没看完，是被她开头的无助描写吸引的。同事看见书上的一句话“不想结婚”，而把本书界定为会教坏我的书，有些冤枉了
评分The first time I read this book dates back to 2012, when I was still in the United States, I borrowed it from the library but it was a busy time so I only finished about one-third of the book and returned it. However, it is so amazing and interesting that I...
评分第2本 Eat, Pray, Love 书名：Eat, Pray, Love 作者：Elizabeth Gilbert, U.S.A 篇幅：445页，132559个单词 难度：没办法用首万词来测试，其实生词也很多，不过因为兴趣问题读了下来 用时：前部分读了三年，最后一半用透析法仅仅读了四天左右 词典：手机上的金山词霸 透析成...
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...
评分这是一个问题。 按照鲁迅先生的说法，女人身上的女儿性和母性是天性，妻性是逼出来的。 原书名倒是颇为直白，吃，祈祷，爱，象什么？难道不象嚼着薯片躺在沙发上和男友看电视的小女孩吗？ 女人要是不做一个真正意义上的妻子，那就只有回归自然的天性，要么做女孩，要么做母亲。...

第一次完成英文著作阅读，整体感觉还比较流畅，可能是比较生活易懂，而且之前看过电影版。继续努力，往更广更深处发展
评分Eating in Italy，learning pray in india and finding a lover in Indonesia. Fortunately, Liz finally realized that she could not be anyone else but herself, embracing all those anger, shame and sorrow into her heart and accepting they are indispensable parts of her. Be true to yourself, accept who you are and make a difference.
评分在很长的一段时间里缓慢地一字一句读完。不是说它有多好，但它陪伴了我一段很特殊很艰难的日子。尤其是有些struggle重合的地方，她在阐述解救自己的语言里实际上也解救了我。
评分1. Others cannot hurt you unless you let them; 2. God helps those who help themselves.
评分实在看不下去，还是去看看电影吧。
