About this ebook

One of the most iconic, beloved, and bestselling books of our time from the bestselling author of City of Girls and Big Magic, Elizabeth Gilbert.

Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat Pray Love touched the world and changed countless lives, inspiring and empowering millions of readers to search for their own best selves. Now, this beloved and iconic book returns in a beautiful 10th anniversary edition, complete with an updated introduction from the author, to launch a whole new generation of fans.
 
In her early thirties, Elizabeth Gilbert had everything a modern American woman was supposed to want—husband, country home, successful career—but instead of feeling happy and fulfilled, she was consumed by panic and confusion. This wise and rapturous book is the story of how she left behind all these outward marks of success, and set out to explore three different aspects of her nature, against the backdrop of three different cultures: pleasure in Italy, devotion in India, and on the Indonesian island of Bali, a balance between worldly enjoyment and divine transcendence.

The reasoning, thought process and style of this writer absolutely matches mine when I'm trying to figure stuff out. But, she has a way of delving so deeply into things with such a well rounded instinct that a lot of times I find that she is describing and answering my own inner most questions and solving my own dilemmas. What an intuition-full masterpiece. Just what I needed for my own well rounded journey. Something every woman should read.

It's not just the book about traveling. When I recommended it from my friend who are seeking for her love, I considered it as a usual romance story or a adventurous journey. I saw so many traveling books that draw attention from the readers. Of course it has many attractions of Italy, India, and Bali as tour places, this book did go beyond my expectation. The authors was writing a certain period of her life in details, giving several things to think about which anyone would worrry one day. Love, study, religion, and myself.

I wonder how many people actually read the book before they saw the movie. To me, the book is much better than the movie. It makes my heart settle from a such chaotic and sometimes hysteric external world. I want to travel to these countries one day and experience what the author has. I also understand no journey can ever be duplicated since this is much more of a journey for hearts.
