Eat, Pray, Love

If travel it is your hobby... Read this book! Eat Pray Love It is written by author Elizabeth Gilbert. Without a doubt is one of the best books I've read. It captures the attention of the reader and intrigue to travel to these places. I found a summary of the book because I have not yet seen the film. This summary points that: “Around the time Elizabeth Gilbert turned thirty, she went through an early-onslaught midlife crisis. She had everything an educated, ambitious American woman was supposed to want—a husband, a house, a successful career. But instead of feeling happy and fulfilled, she was consumed with panic, grief, and confusion. She went through a divorce, a crushing depression, another failed love, and the eradication of everything she ever thought she was supposed to be. To recover from all this, Gilbert took a radical step. In order to give herself the time and space to find out who she really was and what she really wanted, she got rid of her belongings, quit her JOB, and undertook a yearlong journey around the world—all alone. Eat, Pray, Love is the absorbing chronicle of that year. Her aim was to visit three places where she could examine one aspect of her own nature set against the backdrop of a culture that has traditionally done that one thing very well. In Rome, she studied the art of pleasure, learning to speak Italian and gaining the twenty-three happiest pounds of her life. India was for the art of devotion, and with the help of a native guru and a surprisingly wise cowboy from Texas, she embarked on four uninterrupted months of spiritual exploration. In Bali, she studied the art of balance between worldly enjoyment and divine transcendence. She became the pupil of an elderly medicine man and also fell in love the best way—unexpectedly. An intensely articulate and moving memoir of self-discovery, Eat, Pray, Love is about what can happen when you claim responsibility for your own contentment and stop trying to live in imitation of society's ideals. It is certain to touch anyone who has ever woken up to the unrelenting need for change”.

Once finished reading the book I said to myself: "I want to go to these places!" Although already on my list was to go to Italy just to eat pasta and pizza. I found this book very interesting, full of changes, but mostly I liked because it is based on the life of the author. I got several questions. Among them I said: "why always we have to wait to feel on the edge of desperation to make changes and search our happiness?" I will not explain much on the content of the book, but for me it is a highly recommended book, so I want you to read it and see what happens in all these three places the author visited. I could also see in book the importance of its inner and outer journey in her life and such they influenced in her life.

Which three places you would like to visit?
