Eat,
Pray, Love
EAT,
PRAY, LOVE One Woman's Search for Everything Across
Italy, India and Indonesia; has been the #1 NEW YORK
TIMES BESTSELLER FOR 18 WEEKS RUNNING in the category
of Paperback Non-Fiction.
EAT,
PRAY, LOVE is the chronicle of this journey of self-realization,
which took Gilbert around the world by herself and which
she recounts in 3 parts, each told in 36 short segments,
so that the book matches the pattern of the 108 beads
on the japa mala, the traditional Indian payer necklace.
Gilbert's first stop was in Italy where she studied
the art of pleasure, eating enough to gain "the happiest
23 pounds of her life," learning Italian, and practicing
bel far niente, "the beauty of doing nothing." From
there, she went to India, where she spent four months
in a ashram, engaged in a rigorous practice of meditation,
yoga, and manual labor. There, she found an unlikely
spiritual mentor in a Texan Cowboy, who affectionately
calls her "Groceries" for her healthy appetite. From
India, Gilbert went to Bali, a place that to her more
than anywhere else in the world best combined the art
of pleasure and the art of devotion. There, she apprenticed
herself to an elderly medicine man, befriended a female
healer, and, quite unexpectedly, fell in love.
An
intensely articulate, moving, and funny memoir of self-discovery,
both entertaining and engrossing, EAT, PRAY, LOVE is
about what can happen when you claim responsibility
for you own contentment and stop trying to live in imitation
of society's ideals.
