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
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...

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1. Others cannot hurt you unless you let them; 2. God helps those who help themselves.
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
评分饭祷爱除了有点小啰嗦之外还是蛮治愈系的
