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
The book’s Chinese edition--一辈子做女孩 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...
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...
评分迄今为止，对这本书最不满意的就是中文译名，一辈子做女孩。如果有的时候对书的名字拿捏的不是很准的话，不如直接按字面翻译，可能结果要好一些。不过，除了名字之外，其他整本书的翻译都很灵，看起来很舒服。 我想，书的作者不仅仅是想要女孩般干净，年轻，宁静的心态，更是...
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...
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...

还没有看完，看了200多页，叙述的内容还都能看懂。。。罗马，印度，里面居然还提到达赖，说是他能够见到上帝。。。。 读完了，比较容易读懂，生词不多，后来都能猜到单词的意思了。 主人公最后在bali找到了period partner. 不能免俗阿
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8 weeks. Done
评分第一次完成英文著作阅读，整体感觉还比较流畅，可能是比较生活易懂，而且之前看过电影版。继续努力，往更广更深处发展
评分看过的那些原版书里面，有难到需要不时看译文的，也有简单到几乎不用查生词的。《饭祷爱》的作者文笔相当好，有长句也有短句，有口语也有书面体，有历史人文也有旅游美食，生词量适中，非常适合英语阅读。
