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.

    So much of this book answers what I needed in my life. I love it and I am hoping someone will organize tours of the places to get an up close and personal experience. This book let me know it is okay to have everything you thought you wanted and realize it is not exactly what you need.

    This book woke me up, shook me up, and picked me up from a year-long funk. I really was able to understand on a much deeper level that I'm not alone. All the help I need is in me, around me, and within those who love me. Oh, and food is an understandable escape. Buy this, read this, and give it to those you love.

    What an inspirational book that teaches us to slow down and find little joys in life. Many times during this book I was inspired by the authors words. A great read for personal reflections!!

    One of the best books I have read. With everything she went through most people can identify with her search in one way or another. Reminds me that no matter how much you try to plot out the perfect life...some of the best things happen when you have no plan.

    I read this book some time ago and can not say enough good things about how Liz has taken a woman's journey to the depths and the heights of the inner search and made it palatable for us all. It is so well written! Every woman should read this (and I never say that!)

    a must read book for women and men. Elizabeth Gilbert has done an awesome job of defining "thoughts and emotions" in a human level. Lots of subtle lessons that are needed to be learned; if only we can.

    A good read. Describes the real pleasures in life and I like how she brings the mediation to you no matter what religion you practice.
