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
对于价值观混乱无比的我来说，要用一个固定的标准来评价一些东西是一件十分困难的事情，所以我习惯了在评价物品时找一些参照物。 例如：当我在享受假期旅行时，会觉得一本差不多30块的书只不过是一天的小费而已；而当我开始迷恋芝士蛋糕时，这本书可就相当于我2块芝士蛋糕；很...
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 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...

评分饭祷爱除了有点小啰嗦之外还是蛮治愈系的
评分8 weeks. Done
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.
