She's in her thirties; she has a husband, a house, they're trying for a baby - and she doesn't want any of it. Miserable and desperate, she does something she has never done before: pray. 'Hello God. How are you? I'm Liz. Please tell me what to do.' And then a voice responds. 'Go back to bed, Liz.' It is more conversation than conversion. Three years later a bitter divorce and a turbulent love affair have left her battered and bewildered, but with a freedom she's never had before. So Liz begins a year-long journey to find happiness and balance in her life. First four months in Rome, where she learns Italian from identically handsome twins and gains twenty five pounds. Then to an ashram in India, where she finds that enlightenment entails getting up in the middle of the night to scrub the temple floor - and manages to lay some ghosts to rest. Finally she heads to Bali, where a toothless medicine man of indeterminate age offers her a new path to peace: simply sit still and smile. And slowly happiness begins to creep up on her. Funny, tender and thoughtful, Eat, Pray, Love is a hilarious travelogue and a brave quest for spiritual enlightment in the face of natural scepticism. Consoling and inspiring, written with tremendous wit, intelligence and sympathy, it is a book for anyone who has ever felt lost, or thought there must be another, better way.Hide synopsis

This book is easy to read and humorous.
Nice short sections so you can pick it up and read for a bit without feeling like you need lots of time to devote to it.
Totally enjoyed it.

Gilbert is too self-absorbed and whiny! It's hard to feel empathy with someone who can spend a whole year traveling to exotic locations to get in touch with herself. If she were poor, raising a family, with a 9 to 5 job, and older parents to take care of she wouldn't have time to bemoan how it sucks to be her.
Seeing Julia Roberts in the preview for this film reminds me that when I see her in a film, I kind of find myself thinking "Oh, there's Julia Roberts acting like she's acting like someone else, but she's still Julia Roberts to me." Know what I mean? She's just a celebrity that it's hard to fully accept ...

I loved this book. Bought a dozen copies for all my friends and relatives. Even gave it to my ex-wife.
Recently, I read the sequel ("Committed"). I felt a little sorry for the author. It was clear from reading it that she was pressed to write it by her publishers... With such a huge success for ...
