Elizabeth Gilbert - Eat, Pray, Love

Elizabeth Gilbert, the author, goes on a journey of self-discovery.

She is a women who seemingly has everything - a husband, a big house, a successful job, caring friends, and yet she feels that something is missing. She wants to give up all of this to set out on a spiritual journey. The book is divided into four sections describing her growth. She travels through Italy (where she eats), Indonesia (where she prays), and Bali (where she finds a new love). She describes her spiritual growth with reference to various meditations and rituals. Although I did not regard this book as a spiritual book, but raher a story about a spiritual journey.

It is an easy book to read. I liked the way the author argues with herself and her monologues. I think that it can be easy to relate to the situations that she finds herself in. I fully enjoyed every aspect of the book and would recommend it to anyone interested in personal journeys.
