具体描述
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
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...
评分 评分 评分曾经对《一辈子做女孩》这本书满含期待，因为它的宣传说希拉里和李银河都推荐了这本书。李银河在她的博客中写道： 前段时间我看了美国作家伊丽莎白•吉尔伯特的《一辈子做女孩》。一个知识女性，为了寻找自己内心的平衡和幸福，抛开家庭去独自旅行的故事。她离了婚，又和情人...
评分年纪大到一定程度，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...
