Italy, India, and Indonesia. What do these distinct and unique countries have in common, more than you might think. They may not be the first three countries that you clump together, but isn't that the point. Author Elizabeth Gilbert embarks on a journey of self to these three destinations all fittingly starting with the all important "I".
First it is important to know that before leaving, Gilbert had just ended a time and money consuming divorce. She had spent years unhappy always knowing that where she was in life was not where she wanted to be. She finally ended it and in doing so found out that she needed to do some self discovery, not only for her future relationships but the relationship with herself. And so she embarked on a worldwide tour with none other than that person.
It may be odd to someone else why she chose these places yet to her the decision was clear. She would enjoy the art of pleasures of Italy, the art of devotion in India, and the balancing of both in Indonesia. These three “I”s would team up to form a whole, refreshed, and better Gilbert. Never doubt the power of “I”.
