5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing book...some people may be missing the point, 24 May 2008
By N. Martin (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything (Paperback)
I just finished this book and have to say it has had a profound effect on me, it was a fantastic account of one woman's journey to find herself. Admittedly its a great 'story' in itself, but its more than a story about a woman who got her heart broken, ate some food and then *skip the Ashram bit* found love in Bali. Anyone who treats this book like that is somewhat missing the point. I'm not a religious person at all, I have no religion, and I agree the Ashram section wasn't an easy read and I found some resistance to it, but that's exactly the point, her time in the Ashram wasn't comfortable, and we are made to feel that too. You can't gain anything from this book by skipping the middle section, it's only through her experiences in India that she learned to accept herself, find inner peace and strength and have the self knowledge and love to be ABLE to move on in Bali. That's the whole problem with this society, and that's exactly why she has laid herself out here as a guinea pig, an example. Rushing in life for the 'happy ending' will get you nowhere. Or it will get you divorced and suicidal at 34 looking for answers. The whole point of this book - and many others like it - is a forewarning that you will have to go through the struggles she did (albeit in not necessarily in India) if you're going to be truly happy. EAT PRAY LOVE the book is called. not EAT and LOVE. As a society we need to open our minds a little I think.

5.0 out of 5 stars Light Read, Deep Message, 1 May 2008
By Susan E. Finch "Susan NYC" (NYC) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything (Paperback)
I felt like I was traveling along side Elizabeth Gilbert on her literal and spiritual journey through Italy, India and Indonesia. I was inspired by her search for pleasure, God, and love in these richly colorful places. Her stories are touching, amusing and brazenly personal. Her life is enriched by teachers she encounters along the way who show her how to stop "brooding over the past" or "worrying about the future". One of the gifts she receives is being present in her life. Another is knowing that being of service to others is the greatest gift of all.

Another book of wisdom and personal adventure is Being Here: Modern Day Tales of Enlightenment by Ariel and Shya Kane. This book of delightful stories illustrates an effortless and joyful way to a life of well being without traveling from your sofa. Both books are filled with compassion for ones self as well as for others. Whether I travel throughout the world for knowledge, or to my kitchen for a cup of coffee, it's the magic of being there for it that makes the difference.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it, 10 Nov 2007
By Lizzy (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything (Paperback)
This book was given to me by my daughter which was highly recommneded to her. She ended up buying a copy for herself and lent it to me. This book is sooooooooooo good. It started off well and got better and better as her journey progressed. It made me think about my life a lot and made me determined to do something about the things I am not happy with. I just didn't want it to ever end. It made me feel so happy and peaceful. I have passed the book on but am going to buy another copy so I can selfishly keep it for myself.
