#18 Eat, Pray, Love


As the author states herself Eat, Pray, Love follows one woman’s search for everything across Italy, India and Indonesia. Gilbert chose this simple yet effective title because of the activities she focused on in each country. In Italy she indulged herself in the prime cuisine of Italy gaining 23 pounds during her four months in the country. Next she traveled to India where she stayed in an Ashram and spent hours of her days praying though she found this a challenging task for herself. Finally she made her way to Indonesia where she restored her faith in love, which previously had been destroyed after a brutal divorce. She opened her heart again to a man not worried to be broken again. All these unique countries mold together to form the important change that occurred in author Liz Gilberts life. I do not think that I would title this book anything else due to the impact of each country and the things that she focused on while in each. These were all important factors into the woman Liz Gilbert became after her journey’s.
