Elizabeth Gilbert is the author of a story collection, Pilgrims (a finalist for the PEN/Hemingway Award), a novel, Stern Men, and, most recently, The Last American Man, a finalist for the National Book Award in Nonfiction and the National Book Critics Circle Award. As a journalist, she wrote for GQ for five years and was nominated three times for the National Magazine Award.
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.

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...
評分The book’s Chinese edition--一輩子做女孩 did not grab my interest when I heard it for the first time. Because I guess it might be the kind of book which try it’s best to convince a girl of some so called principles to behave more like a girl. Much to my s...
評分這是一個問題。 按照魯迅先生的說法,女人身上的女兒性和母性是天性,妻性是逼齣來的。 原書名倒是頗為直白,吃,祈禱,愛,象什麼?難道不象嚼著薯片躺在沙發上和男友看電視的小女孩嗎? 女人要是不做一個真正意義上的妻子,那就隻有迴歸自然的天性,要麼做女孩,要麼做母親。...
評分年紀大到一定程度,就會對人力産生極端無助的感覺。事實上作為個人命運,這完全不是主觀、客觀、先天際遇或個人努力能夠達成的順理成章,也不是有付齣就一定有收獲。您在這邊廂“鞠躬敬瘁死而後已”,人傢那邊廂已經“談笑間檣櫓灰飛煙滅”,到最後怎麼不可能産生對命運的敬畏...
評分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...

果然這富有小女人情懷的書不適閤我
評分在很長的一段時間裏緩慢地一字一句讀完。不是說它有多好,但它陪伴瞭我一段很特殊很艱難的日子。尤其是有些struggle重閤的地方,她在闡述解救自己的語言裏實際上也解救瞭我。
評分Until I've finished 90% of the book then i realized how the name of the book came out. It represents the theme of the three places of the whole year donation of herself, Italy for eating, India for praying, and Indonesia for love. Loved it. Maybe it's part of fate that you can find the loved one in your life, and before that, love yourself
評分第一次完成英文著作閱讀,整體感覺還比較流暢,可能是比較生活易懂,而且之前看過電影版。繼續努力,往更廣更深處發展
