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.

    Amazing Book 5

    2 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

    A friend recommended this book and I am glad she did. I read this book while my son was a newborn and maybe it was my frame of mind, but it really got to me. It was inspirational and makes you think.

    Inspiring 4

    4 months ago

    This book is about Gilberts' unpredictable journey to search for her soul. It is honest, funny, witty and inspiring. When I saw her in an interview, I remember thinking, "this woman is pure light". What a pleasure to be brought along on her journey to three very different countries and to experience what each one in turn meant to her.
