Elizabeth Gilbert - Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India And Indonesia Books Review Summary
If you are going through a tough time and wondering how to discover the true "you",Eat, Pray, Love:One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia gives you some things to consider. Author Elizabeth Gilbert endures a nasty divorce and decides to take a road trip to find meaning in her life. This book is the story of that journey told, "in a way that truly resonated with me and flipped the light switch to an ah ha moment." Gilbert goes to three diverse countries and experiences their cultures in different ways, coming to terms with her own life. One reviewer observes, " Eat, Pray, Love is very heavy on Eastern religion, Yoga, meditation, and new age subject matter so it may not appeal to everyone." The overall reception of the book, however, was positive. Not everyone agreed, though, saying, "A good book to purchase on sale" and "illogical thinking does no service to her 'spiritual journey'"

Waiting in line grocery store or doc's office, waiting in the theatre for a movie or concert to start, you name it I've got my book and I'm not afraid to whip it out and keep myself occupied. And rather than let me be weird and read in peace people have to comment as...

I read this book at a time of transition in my life. It was the perfect book for me to have read at that time. This book takes its reader on a very personal journey into the authors life, as she tries to find her self.
Italy, India and Indonesia, eating, praying and loving really fantastic places and great activities to do in each place. When it was over I wanted to start reading it from the beginning again.
I read it well before Oprah "discovered" it, and in some ways I am sorry that she did discover it. I saw Elizabeth Berg on Oprah, and because I disliked her so intensely it somewhat diminished...

Used to read a lot of non-fiction. Been awhile since I read anything other than fiction. This book came recommended by a group of like-minded beings. I am so glad I took action on that recommendation. This is the first book in some time to have a meaningful impact on me. Liz didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. She just said it in a way that truly resonated with me and flipped the light switch to an ah ha moment. I got it that everything is about the search for and connection between the Big I and the little i. And it has nothing to do with being self-centered. I...

It was a good book and a good book for a group of women to get together to discuss. I do not think the messages in the book are universal to all women or to all people though. For many women Elizabeth Gilbert's story may be inspiring, but I was not looking to be inspired - I was reading a book for a neighborhood book club and it was good - we had good discussion - and there are some great messages in the book. But India dragged on and on and on - and it was great once she got to the rooftop and learned the lessons there, but otherwise, it droned on like a metaphysical Groundhog Day.
