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The first time I read this book dates back to 2012, when I was still in the United States, I borrowed it from the library but it was a busy time so I only finished about one-third of the book and returned it. However, it is so amazing and interesting that I...
评分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The book’s Chinese edition--一辈子做女孩 did not grab my interest when I heard it for the first time. Because I guess it might be the kind of book which try it’s best to convince a girl of some so called principles to behave more like a girl. Much to my s...
u boring-ass writer, could u stop fucking cliches..definitely time and money wasting fucking yuppies' spiritual therapy shit!
评分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.
评分饭祷爱除了有点小啰嗦之外还是蛮治愈系的
评分磨叽
评分1. Others cannot hurt you unless you let them; 2. God helps those who help themselves.
