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
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。...
评分 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This is not a classic, or perhaps not of much literary value at all, but this is a book that has truly spoken to me when I was reading it. I laughed with her in Italy, meditated with her in India and liberated with her in Indonesia. It's definitely a book t...

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
评分实在看不下去，还是去看看电影吧。
评分磨叽
评分感恩每一天，THANKS~
评分好的小说家懂得把道理融在情节中，引导读者代入；好的读者会主动让情节与个人生活体验发生联系，试图解开自身的困惑。作者与读者之间那种yes we've been there的感受，无论励志书写得多么动情都万万做不到啊！
