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
曾经对《一辈子做女孩》这本书满含期待，因为它的宣传说希拉里和李银河都推荐了这本书。李银河在她的博客中写道： 前段时间我看了美国作家伊丽莎白•吉尔伯特的《一辈子做女孩》。一个知识女性，为了寻找自己内心的平衡和幸福，抛开家庭去独自旅行的故事。她离了婚，又和情人...
评分我相信，这世上太多事情，太多人与人之间的际遇，是讲求缘分的。 我不得不说的是，中国出版业的编辑，毁掉了不少非常不错的原版书。无论是编辑对原著书的精神的理解，以及拿着低稿费草草了事的翻译们，都是对原著有着某种程度上的曲解。但是，话又说回来，他们也的确是不容易...
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...

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...

实在看不下去，还是去看看电影吧。
评分尤爱这个电影封面，这张照片。电影看了又看。好生喜欢。
评分在很长的一段时间里缓慢地一字一句读完。不是说它有多好，但它陪伴了我一段很特殊很艰难的日子。尤其是有些struggle重合的地方，她在阐述解救自己的语言里实际上也解救了我。
评分尤爱这个电影封面，这张照片。电影看了又看。好生喜欢。
