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
突然发现豆瓣上这本书的书评都是女孩写的.难道这是一本女孩子的书? 这本书是关于一个女人的情感经历.讲述一个30多岁的大女孩如何找到内心的宁静和满足. 不是每个人都适合稳定的生活,所以并不奇怪有的人会突然在半夜三点醒来,躲在浴室里哭泣,对自己说:我不想要...
评分当内心真的被触动，每个人都会有强烈的反应，对我来说是一种全身发麻，有一簇颤抖遍布于皮肤下。在听到斯美塔那的《伏尔塔瓦河》的主题乐曲时，在听到拉二的高潮部分时，在读到这本书最后的Attraversiamo的时候，明显感觉到从心底直涌上眼眶的那股想要流泪的冲动。 去年十月看...
评分这是一个问题。 按照鲁迅先生的说法，女人身上的女儿性和母性是天性，妻性是逼出来的。 原书名倒是颇为直白，吃，祈祷，爱，象什么？难道不象嚼着薯片躺在沙发上和男友看电视的小女孩吗？ 女人要是不做一个真正意义上的妻子，那就只有回归自然的天性，要么做女孩，要么做母亲。...
评分着本书原来的名字 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...

第一次完成英文著作阅读，整体感觉还比较流畅，可能是比较生活易懂，而且之前看过电影版。继续努力，往更广更深处发展
评分u boring-ass writer, could u stop fucking cliches..definitely time and money wasting fucking yuppies' spiritual therapy shit!
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2.75 乱七八糟的啰嗦老女人莫名其妙并且毫不奇特的心理感悟，愣是给加上了什么心灵体验又净化又升华的标签
评分哪个选择才是最好的？
