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.
Elizabeth Gilbert is the author of a story collection, Pilgrims (a finalist for the PEN/Hemingway Award), a novel, Stern Men, and, most recently, The Last American Man, a finalist for the National Book Award in Nonfiction and the National Book Critics Circle Award. As a journalist, she wrote for GQ for five years and was nominated three times for the National Magazine Award.
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...

评分好的小说家懂得把道理融在情节中,引导读者代入;好的读者会主动让情节与个人生活体验发生联系,试图解开自身的困惑。作者与读者之间那种yes we've been there的感受,无论励志书写得多么动情都万万做不到啊!
