If wisdom could be traded like currency, author Elizabeth Gilbert would be a wealthier woman by far, though it's likely her fabulous memoir, Eat Pray Love, racked up a few bucks during its stay on the New York Times bestseller list. What Gilbert imparts in her story--basically, bracing self-knowledge acquired during a year of travel following a bitter divorce and a shattered rebound romance--is at once astounding yet totally obvious. As Gilbert would attest, albeit more eloquently, the most important stuff in life is pretty much under our noses, but we occasionally have to shake ourselves senseless in order to see it (enlisting a guru and a medicine man are highly recommended).

Take this simple but devastating observation posited while Gilbert was on the final leg of a global tour. "I have a history of making decisions very quickly about men. I have always fallen in love fast and without measuring risks. I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching his highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with the man himself, and then I have hung on to the relationship for a long time (sometimes far too long) waiting for the man to ascend to his own greatness. Many times in romance I have been the victim of my own optimism."

Ten million women are smiling wry smiles and nodding their heads in agreement (men too, probably, but the book has a definite female skew). Such emotional bulls-eyes are hit early and often in Eat Pray Love, each seemingly more poignant than the last. Alternately funny and heartbreaking and always deeply resonant, Eat Pray Love, takes the reader on two epic journeys – one through Italy, India and Indonesia and the other deep inside Gilbert's intense psyche. Charles Montgomery's towering The Last Heathen: Encounters with Ghosts and Ancestors in Melanesia notwithstanding, travel memoirs just don't get any better than that. --Kim Hughes

From Publishers Weekly

Starred Review. Gilbert (The Last American Man) grafts the structure of romantic fiction upon the inquiries of reporting in this sprawling yet methodical travelogue of soul-searching and self-discovery. Plagued with despair after a nasty divorce, the author, in her early 30s, divides a year equally among three dissimilar countries, exploring her competing urges for earthly delights and divine transcendence. First, pleasure: savoring Italy's buffet of delights--the world's best pizza, free-flowing wine and dashing conversation partners--Gilbert consumes la dolce vita as spiritual succor. "I came to Italy pinched and thin," she writes, but soon fills out in waist and soul. Then, prayer and ascetic rigor: seeking communion with the divine at a sacred ashram in India, Gilbert emulates the ways of yogis in grueling hours of meditation, struggling to still her churning mind. Finally, a balancing act in Bali, where Gilbert tries for equipoise "betwixt and between" realms, studies with a merry medicine man and plunges into a charged love affair. Sustaining a chatty, conspiratorial tone, Gilbert fully engages readers in the year's cultural and emotional tapestry--conveying rapture with infectious brio, recalling anguish with touching candor--as she details her exotic tableau with history, anecdote and impression.

5.0étoiles sur 5 The popular aspiration of the future, Fév 28 2008
Par Brian Griffith (Toronto, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
Gilbert's adventures combine a challenging spiritual quest with dreamlike travel experiences. Her struggles with inner pain are real and gripping, while the exotic locales stoke the reader's appetite for more. She seems to mix it all very well -- inner growth, vocational renewal, and the best kinds of friendship. I just loved her Balinese friend Wayan.

Some people would consider this book spiritual tourism at its most escapist. But let me give one paragraph as an example of what Gilbert puts herself through:

"It took me a while to drop into real silence. Even after I'd stopped talking, I found I was still humming with language. My organs and muscles of speech -- brain, throat, chest, back of neck -- vibrated with the residual effects of talking long after I'd stopped making sounds. My head shimmered in a reverb of sound, the way an indoor swimming pool seems to echo interminably with sounds and shouts, even after the kindergarteners have gone home for the day. It took a surprizingly long time for all this pulsation of speech to fall away, for the whirling noises to settle. Maybe it took about three days."

I'm really glad to see this book topping the bestseller lists in North America, and I hope Gilbert's kind of adventure becomes the popular aspiration of the future.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Authentic personal journey, Mars 24 2008
Par K. Harrison (BC Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and found it refreshing that the author skipped the intimate details of the decay of her relationships and focussed on her own journey of self-discovery. Rather than finding her annoying or whiney, I thought she was honest and just laid it all on the table - the good, the bad, and the ugly. I also enjoyed it for the same reasons I enjoy travel - the simple act of stepping outside of your comfortable familiar surroundings and opening yourself out to new experience - often as a portal to improved self-knowledge. The characters she met along the way were fascinating, and some of their insights into the human condition enlightening. I feel she truly experienced the essence of each country and stayed true to her mission of finding her true character and discovery of her place in the world along the way. Finally, I found this book impossible to put down - a great read for anyone who considers herself a searcher or finds inspiration from spiritual journey and exploration.

5.0étoiles sur 5 True appreciation will come only from having "been there", Sep 5 2007
Par Rainbow (Montreal, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
While I consider this book an interesting and entertaining read for any woman living an overflowing life, true appreciation, in my opinion, will come only to those who have "been there". This book was recommended to me by a close friend at a very dark time in my life. Quite frankly, it alone got me through most days. I am now rereading the book and I have a strange feeling that it will remain within arm's reach for many, many years to come. Is Eat, Pray, Love self-indulging? Maybe. Contrived? Possibly in some aspects. Representative of the roller-coaster ride that is depression and of the heart's fight to find its way out of the woods? You better believe it.
