<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A celebrated writer pens an irresistible, candid, and eloquent account of her pursuit of worldly pleasure, spiritual devotion, and what she really wanted out of life.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The 10th anniversary edition of one of the most iconic, beloved, and bestselling books of our time from the bestselling author of <i>City of Girls</i> and<i> Big Magic</i>, Elizabeth Gilbert.<br></b><br>Elizabeth Gilbert's <i>Eat Pray Love</i> touched the world and changed countless lives, inspiring and empowering millions of readers to search for their own best selves. Now, this beloved and iconic book returns in a beautiful 10th anniversary edition, complete with an updated introduction from the author, to launch a whole new generation of fans. <p/> In her early thirties, Elizabeth Gilbert had everything a modern American woman was supposed to want--husband, country home, successful career--but instead of feeling happy and fulfilled, she was consumed by panic and confusion. This wise and rapturous book is the story of how she left behind all these outward marks of success, and set out to explore three different aspects of her nature, against the backdrop of three different cultures: pleasure in Italy, devotion in India, and on the Indonesian island of Bali, a balance between worldly enjoyment and divine transcendence.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>If a more wonderful writer than Gilbert is currently in print, I haven't found him or her... Gilbert's prose is fueled by a mix of intelligence, wit, and colloquial exuberance that is close to irresistible, and makes the reader only too glad to join the posse of friends and devotees who have the pleasure of listening in. --Jennifer Egan, <i>The New York Times Book Review</i> <p/>An engaging, intelligent, and highly entertaining memoir... [Her] account of her time in India is beautiful and honest and free of patchouli-scented obscurities. --Lev Grossman, <i>Time</i> <p/>A meditation on love in many forms... Gilbert's wry, unfettered account of her extraordinary journey makes even the most cynical reader dare to dream of someday finding God deep within a meditation cave in India, or perhaps over a transcendent slice of pizza. --<i>Los Angeles Times <p/></i>Gilbert's memoir reads like the journal of your most insightful, funny friend as she describes encounters with healers, ex-junkies, and (yes!) kind, handsome men. --<i>Glamour <p/></i>Readable [and] funny... By the time she and her lover sailed into a Bali sunset, Gilbert had won me over. She's a gutsy gal, this Liz, flaunting her psychic wounds and her search for faith in a pop-culture world. --<i>The Washington Post <p/></i>This insightful, funny account of her travels reads like a mix of Susan Orlean and Frances Mayes... Gilbert's journey is well worth taking. --<i>Entertainment Weekly (</i>A rating) <p/>Be advised that the supremely entertaining <i>Eat Pray Love--</i>a mid-thirties memoir by the endlessly talented Elizabeth Gilbert--is not just for the ladies, fellas. --<i>GQ <p/></i>Compulsively readable... Think Carrie Bradshaw cut loose from her weekly column, her beloved New York City, and her trio of friends, riffing her way across the globe on an assortment of subjects ranging from the 'hands-down most amazing' Sicilian pasta she's ever tasted to her reason for buying sexy lingerie to our collective, species-driven instinct for being on the planet. --<i>Elle <p/></i>Gilbert's exuberance and her self-deprecating humor enliven the proceedings: recalling the first time she attempted to speak directly to God, she says, 'It was all I could do to stop myself from saying, I've always been a big fan of your work. ' --<i>The New Yorker <p/></i>An intriguing and substantive journey recounted with verve, humor, and insight. Others have preceded Gilbert in writing this sort of memoir, but few indeed have done it better. --<i>Seattle Post-Intelligencer <p/></i>In this engrossing and captivating travel memoir, journalist Liz Gilbert globe-trots for a year to Italy, India, and Indonesia...

[She's] such a sincere seeker... [It's] impossible<i> </i>not to applaud her breakthrough. --Salon.com <p/>An intimate account of a spiritual journey. But it's also a zippy travelogue with rich, likeable characters...You will laugh, cry, and love with a more open heart. --<i>Rocky Mountain News</i> <p/>Gilbert is a witty, funny, and likeable pilgrim on a hero's journey. --<i>The Oregonian</i> <p/>Run-of-the-mill envy doesn't begin to describe what many readers must feel when devouring Elizabeth Gilbert's <i>Eat Pray Love.</i> --<i>St. Louis Post-Dispatch </i> <p/>A captivating storyteller with a gift for enlivening metaphors, Gilbert is Anne Lamott's hip, yoga-practicing, footloose younger sister, and readers will laugh and cry as she recounts her nervy and outlandish experiences and profiles the extraordinary people she meets... [Her] sensuous and audacious spiritual journey is as deeply pleasurable as it is enlightening. -<i>Booklist </i>(starred review) <p/>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. --<i>Publishers Weekly </i>(starred review) <p/>Gilbert takes us on a pilgrimage, with the humor, insight, and charm that only come with honest self-revelation and good writing. --Jack Kornfield, The Omega Institute <p/>Spilling out of this funny (and profound) circus car of a book are dozens of mesmerizing characters; people you'll envy Liz Gilbert for finding, valuing, loving, and, I couldn't help noticing, joining for irresistible meals. I've never read an adventure quite like this one, where a writer packs up her entire life and takes it on the road. --Alan Richman <p/>This is a wonderful book, brilliant and personal, rich in spiritual insight... Gilbert is everything you would love in a tour guide of magical places she has traveled to both deep inside and across the oceans: she's wise, jaunty, human, ethereal, hilarious, heartbreaking, and, God, does she pay great attention to the things that really matter. --Anne Lamott<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Elizabeth Gilbert</b> is the #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Big Magic</i>, <i>Eat Pray Love</i>, and <i>The Signature of All Things</i>, <i> </i>as well as several other internationally bestselling books of fiction and nonfiction.
