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...
评分说到睡前读物，《Eat pray love》绝对是极好的选择。边读就边想，一定要和你们分享这本书，但看到一半时，就送给了朋友。等到卓越再送书来，半个月已经过去了。可惜的是，朋友却无心看这本书。不禁感叹：有心栽花，花不开。我以为可以缓解她纠结许久的心事，却不料并无裨益。 ...
评分很早以前写的读后感，不算是书评，不过还是给挪过来吧。 看完了《一辈子做女孩》，觉得好像和这个汉语译书名没多大关系，还不如用英文名《eat,pray,love》，更能准确直观地表达出书的每一部分所描写的内容。虽然我觉得作者好像有点精神分裂症，但是看完这本书，还是觉得心灵也...

1. Others cannot hurt you unless you let them; 2. God helps those who help themselves.
评分Eating in Italy，learning pray in india and finding a lover in Indonesia. Fortunately, Liz finally realized that she could not be anyone else but herself, embracing all those anger, shame and sorrow into her heart and accepting they are indispensable parts of her. Be true to yourself, accept who you are and make a difference.
评分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
评分2.75 乱七八糟的啰嗦老女人莫名其妙并且毫不奇特的心理感悟，愣是给加上了什么心灵体验又净化又升华的标签
评分尤爱这个电影封面，这张照片。电影看了又看。好生喜欢。
