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
年纪大到一定程度，就会对人力产生极端无助的感觉。事实上作为个人命运，这完全不是主观、客观、先天际遇或个人努力能够达成的顺理成章，也不是有付出就一定有收获。您在这边厢“鞠躬敬瘁死而后已”，人家那边厢已经“谈笑间樯橹灰飞烟灭”，到最后怎么不可能产生对命运的敬畏...
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。 ...

评分我相信，这世上太多事情，太多人与人之间的际遇，是讲求缘分的。 我不得不说的是，中国出版业的编辑，毁掉了不少非常不错的原版书。无论是编辑对原著书的精神的理解，以及拿着低稿费草草了事的翻译们，都是对原著有着某种程度上的曲解。但是，话又说回来，他们也的确是不容易...
