| Editorial Reviews:
Product Description This beautifully written, heartfelt memoir touched a nerve among both readers and reviewers. Elizabeth Gilbert tells how she made the difficult choice to leave behind all the trappings of modern American success (marriage, house in the country, career) and find, instead, what she truly wanted from life. Setting out for a year to study three different aspects of her nature amid three different cultures, Gilbert explored the art of pleasure in Italy and the art of devotion in India, and then a balance between the two on the Indonesian island of Bali. By turns rapturous and rueful, this wise and funny author (whom Booklist calls "Anne Lamotts hip, yoga- practicing, footloose younger sister") is poised to garner yet more adoring fans.

Really great book overall March 8, 2010 L. Harris (Massachusetts, USA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I read a bunch of reviews before purchasing the book. A friend highly recommended the book as well. I had read one review that mentioned Elizabeth being selfish and complaining a lot. My response to that review is that Elizabeth is supposed to be selfish! She is on a journey of self-discovery! She isn't traveling to save the poor in 3rd world countries. She specifically traveled to write the book about her own personal experience on how she wanted to figure out her place in life and how to heal a broken heart. This book wasn't meant to be a self-help book for others necessarily. She wanted to figure out her own problems and the reader could probably relate in one way or another. I also considered how she did some complaining, but who cares?? Again, that's part of the process towards how someone learns and grows. People fight the truth and reality and on that journey, the learning process can be tough because you are discovering new things about yourself which is why Elizabeth complained a lot. But notice by the end of the book she was A LOT more calm and relieved and satisfied. That's why it's such a great book, because you start to really learn and grow with Elizabeth and feel that sigh of relief in the end. My favorite part was in the end when she talks about the tree wanting the acorn to grow into itself. It really made sense of the book as a whole. The one reason why I gave 4 stars and not 5 stars was because i did find myself browsing over some overly-descriptive thoughts or hypothetical ideas that didn't have anything specifically to do with the actual storyline - i felt the same about DaVinci Code - which i loved too, but would have again only given 4 stars for a similar writing style reason.
satisfying... March 6, 2010 A. Ortiz (San Diego, CA United States) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I really enjoyed this book. It reads like non-fiction and still warms the heart. It has also inspired me to travel and explore more.

I could barely put this book down, it was so engrossing. It was an honest and entertaining narrative.
Midlife - well sort of... March 2, 2010 Susan M. Miller (Arlington, TX) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is somewhat of a good journey book... as some of us are on a journey... but though I did find some of the book interesting... there came a point where I wanted to Scream at the author to STOP being so "Winey" about things she should well have gotten over... this part - repeatedly brought up in the book made the journey a hard one to get through... other than that it was a good read... but I kept wanting to tell her..."Get over it already and move on!Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia"
Just wonderful February 28, 2010 Ana M. Echeverri (miramar,fl) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a wonderful book. Her day to day struggles with finding herself coupled with a very intelligent sense of humor makes for great reading. I cried from laughter multiple times just in the first few pages.
