Eat, Pray, Love

Eat, Pray, Love

Synopsis

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 Lamott's hip, yoga- practicing, footloose younger sister?) is poised to garner yet more adoring fans.

  This is one of those books that seem to be either really liked or really disliked.
  
  I disliked it. Very much.
  
  The premise is really interesting. Searching for self and the meaning of it all by focusing on three important aspects in life: physical, spiritual and emotional needs.
  
  Unfortunately I was never convinced by the author. Not of her initial personal pain, which set her of on this journey and not on the genuineness (is that a word?)of what she discovered on her year long search.
  
  Basically: bored with marriage, committment shy, self absorbed female has tantrum and runs away without a single thought of her good fortune and privilege.

  I was very disappointed with this book. I really looked forward to reading it but it certainly left me wanting!
  The author just seemed like she was unhappy, like many of us, about a few things in life and instead of turning negatives into positives she went on a tantrum binge and clearly didn't see all the great things in her life.
  As Yvonne L says you either really like of or you really dislike it. I disliked it.
