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.
Eat, Pray, Love: One womans search for everything across Italy, India and Indonesia 
Excellent story. It is a shame that we all cannot do what the author did, it would make us all better rounded people.
Easy Read 
This is a book that I wouldn't actively promote to my friends but it was a nice read and I am glad I read it. Very quick and easy read. If you are looking for something light to read in between books this would be a good choice. Definitely a girl book and don't think many men would find this enjoyable.
A great example to follow!
Her unhappy marriage came to head when she knew she didn't want to follow the "script" which is imposed on us so much as women: the script that says we need to be wives and mothers. It's a brave thing to admit that you do not want this! The drain of her divorce coupled with her painful split from David is something a lot of women can relate to; who hasn't been through the heartache of a breakup: rollercoaster moods, the phases of anger,the sadness, guilt, fear and lonliness? I found I could relate to her in a lot of ways, but unlike her I do not have the opportunity to travel, so it was fun to travel vicariously through her. Her anecdotes about the people she meets are very amusing, and what better way to feed the body, mind and spirit than the way she has? Hers is a great example to follow!
One woman's journey
I loved this book. In the beginning I found it hard to get into but once I got to India it was fablous. My favorite character was Richard. There were so many "points" brought out in this book. The book is about a woman who is trying to find herself after a failed marriage and relationship and the strength and courage she had to pick herself up and go on this self perserving journey. The author did a great job in describing all of the characters and gave you a sense of who they truly were. The ending was a little disappointing but since it is based on a true story you can't change the facts. Would definitely recommend the book
