Synopsis
The celebrated writer of The Last American Man creates an attractive, heart-to-heart, and facile relationship of her chase of worldly joy and spiritual dedication.
In the meantime she turned thirty, Elizabeth Gilbert had everything a modern, intellectual, aspiring American lady was acknowledged to want; a partner, a house in the country, a prosperous business. But instead of feeling happy and cheerful, she was exhausted with panic, sorrow and muddiness. She had a divorce, a destructive depression, another failed love and the absolute eradication of idea of life she had ever had.
To recover from all that mess, Gilbert took a ultra radical step. since she required the time and space to detect who she really was and what she really wanted,she trashed of her possessions, quit her work, left her loved ones behind and went for a year-long journey around the world, by herself. Eat, Pray, Love is the chronicle of that year. Gilbert’s intention was to see three places, where she could look into one view of her own nature, set against the background of a culture that has traditionally done that one thing very well. In Italy, she studied the art of pleasure, learning to talk Italian and gaining the twenty-three happiest pounds of her life. India was for the art of devotion, where, with the help of a native guru and an amazingly wise Texan, she embarked on four months of severe sacred research. Finally, in Indonesia, she reached her ultimate objects: balance – namely, how to in some way build a life of equilibrium between worldly enjoyment and divine transcendence. Looking for these answers on the island of Bali, she became the pupil of an elderly, ninth-generation medicine man and also fell in love in the very best way-without any expectations.
Eat, Pray, Love is an essay of what might happen when you take responsibility for your own happiness. It is also about the adventures that can change when a woman stops trying to live in imitation of society’s ideals. This is a message definitely to touch anyone who has ever woken up to the need for change.
What people say about the book
When I glanced through the pages in the bookstore, I found something I could get attached to straightaway in about every section of “Eat, Pray, and Love.” I purchased the script, loved it, relished it, and have no regrets. It is what it is, a pleasurable, well written product.
