具體描述
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.

讀後感
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...
評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...
評分曾经对《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...
評分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...
評分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...

第一次完成英文著作閱讀，整體感覺還比較流暢，可能是比較生活易懂，而且之前看過電影版。繼續努力，往更廣更深處發展
评分果然這富有小女人情懷的書不適閤我
评分1. Others cannot hurt you unless you let them; 2. God helps those who help themselves.
评分8 weeks. Done
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
