Yes, Yes, and Yes. I absolutely loved the lessons Elizabeth Gilbert came to recognize on her radical journey of self discovery. I may totally sound like a woman here, but there is such great value in evaluating your life and redefining the terms of your happiness. Yes, I definitely sound like a woman. So what, my best friend is a woman (Ingrid), I live with girls, I grew up with sisters and I work for brides and their mothers. OK, before I get side tracked too much, I really want to recommend this book for those of you with a desire for adventure on the journey inward. Enjoy the Blessings and Wisdom shared. And then apply them:)

Oddly but aptly titled, Eat, Pray, Love is an experience to be savored: This spiritual memoir brims with humor, grace, and scorching honesty. After a messy divorce and other personal missteps, Elizabeth Gilbert confronts the "twin goons" of depression and loneliness by traveling to three countries that she intuited had something she was seeking. First, in Italy, she seeks to master the art of pleasure by indulging her senses. Then, in an Indian ashram, she learns the rigors and liberation of mind-exalting hours of meditation. Her final destination is Bali, where she achieves a precarious, yet precious equilibrium. Gilbert's original voice and unforced wit lend an unpretentious air to her expansive spiritual journey.

I picked up this book when it literally fell off the shelves and landed at my feet! As soon as I finished reading it I started to read it again, it was that good.
