Product Description
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.

Beautiful Nuggets of Wisdom October 11, 2008
While this book does sometimes bog down in her descriptions it offers a way of dealing with things that affect many women and their choices/decisions today...I only suggest you don't worry about understanding everything or believing everything she says...the important parts will jump out at you and stay with you....."See, now that's your problem. You're wishin' too much, baby. You gotta stop wearing your wishbone where your backbone oughtta be."
Gotta love Richard from Texas' logic....

Great book, so rare to find a travel book that also includes the author's inner spiritual journey. Not the story intensity or level of Kira Salak's two travel books ("Cruelest Journey" and "Four Corners") or her latest fiction work loosely based on her real life experiences "The White Mary" (the ultimate book of adventure and travel that takes the main character through an amazing physical and spiritual journey) that define inner spirtual journey travel writing, but still a great read worth five stars. If you like travel books that cover the inner journey as well as the external journey, you will greatly enjoy this book.

I loved this book. What a beautiful writer she is! She makes the English language sing. Very encouraging for anyone who is "lost" and wants more out of life.

Get it on CD......her voice is just like syrup......you really feel like she is telling her story directly to you as well.

This book is a road map illustrating beautifully---and at times quite humorously--- how one person made sense of this world by connecting to the Other. It's a wonderfully written guide to drawing back the curtain that hides us from our true nature, from God's presence within us. Elizabeth Gilbert has made a lasting and important contribution by sharing her deepest personal issues and efforts to resolve them. Rarely does an author convey such important lessons with such a delicious and delightful personal voice.
