What a let down (1/1 people found this helpful)

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 (24/25 people found this helpful)

"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.

Do not waste your money! (5/7 people found this helpful)

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.

Perfect (4/5 people found this helpful)

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.

Inspiring and empowering - read and pass it on! (1/2 people found this helpful)

Fantastic and humourous writing - couldn't put it down. Immediately passed the "wealth" to one of my best girlfriends upon completion. Every woman must read this!
