Eat, Pray, Love (edit title)

Shelfari edited the description of Eat, Pray, Love 3 weeks ago.

• 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.

Timothy Gray edited the quotations of Eat, Pray, Love Friday, November 6 2009.

• Added a quotation: “Like most humanoids, I am burdened with what the Buddhists call the 'monkey mind'– the thoughts that swing from limb to limb, stopping only to scratch themselves, spit, and howl. From the distant past to the unknowable future, my mind swings wildly through time, touching on dozens of ideas a minute, unharnessed and undisciplined.”
• Added a quotation: “The former Catholic nun who oughtta know about guilt, after all wouldn’t hear of it. 'Guilt’s just your ego’s way of tricking you into thinking that you’re making moral progress.'”
• Added a quotation: “A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave.”
• Added a quotation: “Stop wearing your wishbone where your backbone ought to be.”
