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
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...

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finally finished this novel, much better than the movie.
评分尤爱这个电影封面，这张照片。电影看了又看。好生喜欢。
