At 32 years old, Elizabeth Gilbert was educated, had a home, a husband, and a successful career as a writer. However, she was unhappy in her marriage and often spent the night crying on her bathroom floor. After separating from her husband and initiating a divorce, which he contested, she embarked on a rebound relationship which continued for some time but did not work out, leaving her devastated and alone.
Afterwards, while writing an article on yoga vacations in Bali, Gilbert met a ninth-generation medicine man who told her she would one day come back and study with him. After finalizing her difficult divorce, Gilbert spent the next year traveling around the world. The trip was paid for in advance with a book deal from the publisher.
She spent four months in Italy, eating and enjoying life ("Eat"). She spent four months in India, finding her spirituality ("Pray"). She ended the year in Bali, Indonesia, looking for "balance" of the two and found love ("Love") in the form of a dashing Brazilian factory owner.
Elizabeth M. Gilbert (born July 18, 1969) is an American novelist, essayist, short story writer, biographer, and memoirist. She is most known for her 2006 memoirs, Eat, Pray, Love, which as of December 2010, has spent 199 weeks on the New York Times Best Seller list, and was also made into a film by the same name in 2010.
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...
评分着本书原来的名字 美食,祈祷,爱, 要比这什么永远做女孩好听多了。最先看着本书的原因也是爱上了这个标题,eat pray love,想想就觉得很幸福。被这本书深深的吸引,不是因为讲了什么惊天的名言警句或是文笔有多优美,只是单纯地因为它跟我引起了太多的共鸣。 第一段故事,享乐...
评分Before I got the book, I had heard so much about the author, about how great the book is, and about how people's lives changed because of it. Even Oprah invited Elizabeth Gilbert to her show twice! I am always very alert to those "life-changing" books,e...
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...
I love the movie, but the book bored the hell out of me. Overly wordy , too whiny!

评分本以为很薄的书,结果在kindle上看起居然断断续续好几个月。作者借用了无数东方式的标记,却没有太深入的纠结于信仰等问题,而是更身体力行。作为畅销书作家名不虚传,每一小节的结尾都清甜有味,仿佛蛋糕上最后那颗樱桃。
评分婚没结好/人生受挫/事业大低谷就跑到国外玩耍,别再教坏小孩子了。but still, 两颗星给on the road的精神.
