书籍介绍
This beautifully written, heartfelt memoir touched a nerve among both readers and reviewers. Elizabeth Gilbert tells how she made the difficult choice to leave behind all the trappings of modern American success (marriage, house in the country, career) and find, instead, what she truly wanted from life. Setting out for a year to study three different aspects of her nature amid three different cultures, Gilbert explored the art of pleasure in Italy and the art of devotion in India, and then a balance between the two on the Indonesian island of Bali. By turns rapturous and rueful, this wise and funny author (whom Booklist calls "Anne Lamott’s hip, yoga- practicing, footloose younger sister") is poised to garner yet more adoring fans.

- ""He probably was. Your problem is you don't understand what that word means. People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that's holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so"
- "Do not apologize for crying. Without this emotion, we are only robots."
- "We're miserable because we think that we are mere individuals, alone with our fears and flaws and resentments and mortality. We wrongly believe that our limited little egos constitute our whole entire nature. We have failed to recognize our deeper divine character."
- "Someday you're gonna look back on this moment of your life as such a sweet time of grieving.. You 'll see that you were in mourning and your hear was broken, but your life was changing and you were in the best possible place in the world for it-- in a beautiful place of worship, surrounded by grace."
- "“But I love him." "So love him." "But I miss him." "So miss him. Send him some love and light every time you think about him, and then drop it. You're just afraid to let go of the last bits of David because then you'll really be alone, and Liz Gilbert is scared to death of what will happen if she's "

与自己和解…书其实一般，但看的时间很重要，几乎每天都能回答我当天的情感问题，简直是心理医生…
饭祷爱
属于随手翻来一页都可以读下去的书 作者写的很细腻用心 超出电影
作者还是太年轻了
上学时候看的电影很喜欢，又买了原著来收藏。时隔多年心血来潮拿起来看，断断续续一个半月，碎碎念的Liz却很符合我的很多人生理念。也想有间隔年啊。和大了二十多岁的灵魂伴侣也很让人欣慰了。
ANTEVASIN, who lives at the border, a in-beteener, a scholar who’s not afraid to always toward the UNKNOWN
19岁读的第一本旅行小说，现在想挺没意思的。但19岁的时候居然会把书里的每一句奉为真理呢。
Go find the balance between hobby, job, career and vocation, then embrace it.
受限于教育和文化，很难理解祈祷的部分。但是意大利的废墟让我有去一次的冲动。
