具体描述
The only thing wrong with this readable, funny memoir of a magazine writer's yearlong travels across the world in search of pleasure and balance is that it seems so much like a Jennifer Aniston movie. Like Jen, Liz is a plucky blond American woman in her thirties with no children and no major money worries. As the book opens, she is going through a really bad divorce and subsequent stormy rebound love affair. Awash in tears in the middle of the night on the floor of the bathroom, she begins to pray for guidance, “you know —— like, to God.” God answers. He tells her to go back to bed. I started seeing the Star headlines： “Jen's New Faith！” “What Really Happened at the Ashram！” “Jen's Brazilian Sugar Daddy —— Exclusive Photos！” Please understand that Gilbert, whose earlier nonfiction book, The Last American Man, portrayed a contemporary frontiersman, is serious about her quest. But because she never leaves her self-deprecating humor at home, her journey out of depression and toward belief lacks a certain gravitas. The book is composed of 108 short chapters (based on the beads in a traditional Indian japa mala prayer necklace) that often come across as scenes in a movie. And however sad she feels or however deeply she experiences something, she can't seem to avoid dressing up her feelings in prose that can get too cute and too trite. On the other hand, she convinced me that she acquired more wisdom than most young American seekers —— and did it without peyote buttons or other classic hippie medicines. When Gilbert determines that she requires a year of healing, her first stop is Italy, because she feels she needs to immerse herself in a language and culture that worships pleasure and beauty. This sets the stage for a “Jen's Romp in Rome,” where she studies Italian and, with newfound friends, searches for the best pizza in the world......

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。...

评分补充一下本书作者在TED的演讲，这个演讲在TED近千个演讲中排名前三(基于观众“Favorite”投票)，尤其后半部分讲得极好，Elizabeth是很有慧根的那种人，这在她的文字和演讲里多有体现，下面是上周刚翻好的中文字幕版本： http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/chi_hans/elizabeth_gilb...
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...
评分突然发现豆瓣上这本书的书评都是女孩写的.难道这是一本女孩子的书? 这本书是关于一个女人的情感经历.讲述一个30多岁的大女孩如何找到内心的宁静和满足. 不是每个人都适合稳定的生活,所以并不奇怪有的人会突然在半夜三点醒来,躲在浴室里哭泣,对自己说:我不想要...
用户评价
我依然天天禅坐，从斐利贝的床溜到沙发上，让自己静坐，对这一切表达感激。在他的阳台外头，鸭子一路聒聒叫，穿越稻田，到处聒噪戏水。如此放松地潜入禅修，仿如我的情人正为我准备沐浴。在早晨的阳光下裸着身子，只裹着一条薄毯，我融入恩典中，漂浮在无极的上空，犹如在汤匙上保持平衡的小贝壳。过去的人生，为何似乎很难。一切语言都是多余的，我的心灵，生活，感情终于又重新复归平静和正常。这是一趟学习享乐的旅程，也是一场召唤自我的人生之旅。没有旅伴，却跟最亲密的自己一起，由此更靠近自己。在这一整年的追寻快乐与虔诚之间的平衡中，我终于发现，拯救我的人，并非别人，而是我自己操控我，拯救我。
评分第二次看了，意大利还没看完，弃了。女主真的挺作。
评分真诚而又直接，俺喜欢。而且太高级的词儿不多，不用翻字典，太鸡冻了！ 热烈庆祝本人读完人生中第一本超过400页的英文小说！！！
评分The people you meet who affect your life, and the ups and downs you experience, help to create who you are and who you become.
评分三分之二听Elizabeth Gilbert自己读的有声书，三分之一看的。读的比写得好，第一部分比后面好。
