 Rating:  - Fantastic Read!!!This book was a gem! So well written, so enjoyable, thought provoking, laughable that it was hard for me to see it end. I had never read any of this author's works before. After reading this book, I know I will read them all. Rating:  - Engaging memoir about a woman's search for self and happinessAlthough this book gained huge popularity almost immediately after its release--which was a full two years ago now--initially, I had some reluctance to read it. This is surprising given that 1) I'm about the same age as the author, 2) I generally really enjoy memoirs, and 3) I've studied Italian and am into yoga, which are two of the three major themes of this book.

My story is that this book moved me in ways unimaginable. I absolutely loved the journey and the truths discovered along the way. If you are still trying to figure it all out and would love some great insight, read this book. It has become almost like a reference for me - I plan to read it many times ... Read More Rating: - "Eat, Pray, Love" is a kind of 21st Century Version of 10 Ox-Herding PicturesGilbert's "Eat, Pray, Love" is an entertaining, personally revealing permutation on the classic existential character arc - the search of our true nature. Some call it God (as does Gilbert), some call it "what is" or "Suchness" or "Natural Perfection" (as in Dzogchen). "Eat, Pray, Love" struck me as an eloquent and illuminating parallel to the 12th century Ch'an/Zen metaphor of 10 Ox-Herding Pictures that narrate - albeit, more succinctly, - a similar existential search-and-rescue story, a spiritual ...
