 Could be the life of any of us January 1, 2009
Luisa Agante (Porto & Lisbon, Portugal)
I have received the book as a Christmas gift from a friend who told me that she had two options: read it to understand me or give it to me so that I could know someone just like me :)
I really enjoyed the book and read it in 2 days. Elizabeth writes in a colorfull way. Her journey is indeed more than a journey and because I felt much like her I appreciated every piece of it.
The italian part is like a preparation part. Could almost be like a "Sex and the City episode" or something like that. The second part in India is absolutely lovely!!!!! Her transformation is incredible and it really made me rethink some of my options, including getting back to yoga. And the best part is that everyone can do that, and doesn't need to go to India. Finding oneself, acquiring calm and knowing our deep selves is possible if we just stop our everyday seeking life and start doing simple things like meditating, chanting mantras, etc. I also enjoyed her explanations about the concepts that are strange to the most part of the people. She presents yoga and buddhism concepts in such a simple way and integrates them so well in her story that sometimes I felt like I was also meditating with her.
The last part I found less appealing but at the same time it makes us wonder that love is just around the corner if we are open to see it!!!!!!!

Having read such glowing reviews of this book i began to read it with high expectations - it may well be a good descriptive text, but it has no impact at all on all of the billions of people on the planet who can't just conveniently run away to an island or go off for a year to find themselves - it was a self-satisfying, shallow read - i am sorry I wasted hard-earned money on it.
A True Adventure November 16, 2008

"Eat, Pray, Love" is a true adventure as Elizabeth Gilbert travels the world in search of Enlightenment. She beautifully shares her humanity and her vulnerability as she relaxes into her life. Her love for languages and food are full of passion as her descriptions of both are poetic and mouth-watering. Elizabeth Gilbert's true story and her search for well-being makes a fantastic story.
In my own search, I have found what Elizabeth Gilbert had set out to find, in Ariel & Shya Kanes' books, Working on Yourself Doesn't Work: The 3 Simple Ideas That Will Instantaneously Transform Your Life, How to Create a Magical Relationship: The 3 Simple Ideas that Will Instantaneously Transform Your Love Life: The 3 Simple Ideas That Will Instantaneously Transform Your Love Life, and Being Here: Modern Day Tales of Enlightenment. I love that I can vicariously live through Elizabeth Gilbert's words, feeling like I lived her experience in Italy, India & Indonesia. And I love that I have found the life-style of well-being by reading the Kanes' books in the luxury of my own home. It's nice that the search is over.

I ordered this book as I read the reviews on this site which led me to believe that it might actually be an interesting book.. but sadly no, I did not like it at all. It is written in a self-absorbed style, all about 'her'. Most people who travel do so because they want to see something of the world - all this girl needed was a mirror - this book tells you absolutely nothing about the places she visited and she travelled for one whole year!
A complete waste of time, incredibly shallow. Would not recommend to anyone and I do not understand the good reviews that it has been given.

This is the most wonderful book I've ever read. She is whitty, charismatic and her insights and paths are so similar to mine I was able to relate on every page. Even if this is not similar to your path (some of my happily or newly married friends were not fussed by it) she stresses the importance of getting in touch with who you really are and how to find you. I have bought about 10 of these books and have given them to friends around the world from all walks of life. Amazing book I give it my highest recommendation.
