Abstract
The famous author of The Last American Man makes an overwhelming, heart-to-heart, and articulate relationship of her pursuit of worldly joy and spiritual commitment.
In the meantime she had her thirtieth birthday, Elizabeth Gilbert had everything a contemporary, intellectual, aspiring American woman was expected to require: a spouse, a house in the country, a successful career. But instead of feeling happy and cheerful, she was exhausted with fear, sorrow and muddiness. She went through a divorce, a crushing depression, another failed love and the full demolition of idea of life she had ever had.
To recover from all that mess, Gilbert made a ultra radical step. since she needed the time and space to detect who she really was and what she really wanted, she trashed of her possessions, cancelled her job, left her loved ones behind and went for a year-long journey around the world, all alone. Eat, Pray, Love is the chronicle of that year. Gilbert’s goal was to travel to three places, where she could study one aspect of her own universe, put against the background of a culture that has traditionally done that one thing very well. In Italy, she studied the art of joy, learning to communicate in Italian and gaining the twenty-three happiest pounds of her life. India was for the art of prayer, where, with the help of a native guru and an astonishingly clever Texan, she embarked on four months of strict sacred research. Finally, in Indonesia, she sought her final objects: proportion & namely, how to in some way make a life of equilibrium between worldly enjoyment and divine transcendence. Whiles she was searching for these answers on the island of Bali, she became the pupil of an elderly, ninth-generation medicine man and also fell in love in the best possible way-without any expectations.
An autobiography of self-finding, Eat, Pray, Love is about what may happen when you call for responsibility for your own contentment. It is also about the adventures that can transpire when a woman stops trying to live in imitation of life This is a story that will like anyone who has ever woken up to the unrelenting need for change.
Reader’s review
When I glanced through the pages in the bookstore, I found something I could connect to instantly in virtually every chapter of “Eat, Pray, and Love.” I bought the publication, read it, enjoyed it, and have no regrets. It is a gratifying, good written book.
Gilbert begins with descriptive string of beads, of which I also wrote about in my book, so I had a prompt bond with the generator. I even have my own hand-made set of beads from seeds I got in Katmandu.
