From the Publisher

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.

    Not for everyone 1

    There are many great reviews for this book, but for those who are more pragmatic and avoid "women who enjoy self-pity" books - DO NOT read this one. I brought it on vacation and had to force myself to finish it.

    This book kept me interested, amused and also moved. Gilbert takes us from her terrible depression, to finding inner peace through her travels and soul searching. All through her informative, chatty and witty style, there is so much depth that I found myself re-reading passages. Truly loved it.

    Fantastic book! Insightful, eloquent, philosophical, heartwarming, poignant and just plain beautiful. I wanted to highlight my favourite passages and write them on my fridge. A good read which will teach you something about life.

    Amazing Book 5

    3 months ago

    I was recommended this book when I was far away from home. That wasn't unusual, I just happened to have a bit of trouble with being away. When I read this book, everything that was said about it was true. Every time I need a pick me up, I go to my bookshelf, and pick up this book. Every time I read bout what the woman in the book went through, I remember that my troubles aren't really all that big, and I can get through them. I love the idea of going to three different countries to get past… read more
