Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia
Eat=Italy, Pray=India and Love=Indonesia.
I actually enjoyed this book a bit. It’s basically her memoir through Italy, India and Indonesia from dealing her sadness to happiness. For me, I thought it was a great travelogue; philosophy and a self help book ß sort of. After her divorce, she got her courage to travel the world alone at the age of 34. It must be nice to be able to just take off a year and travel. I’ll definitely do that if I win the lotto.
At the beginning, I liked how she describes Loneness and Depression as though it was a person. I thought if was funny when she’s learning how to meditate in India, and her minds just wonders off. (I’m having the same problem right now, still learning how to meditate.)
There are a few points in the book that I agree w/ her.
We are just way too harsh and violent on ourselves!
Liz is a control freak, just like me. (Need to let go.)
We should be able to control our mind (thoughts) like we choose our clothes.
Need to learn to have faith and believe in destiny, though it’s true that we are able to control some of our destiny.
Make peace with ourselves.
Understanding why we have negative thoughts and finding ways to let them go.
Smile = good energy.
For anyone that ever wanted to find his or her own path, this book might help you a bit. I have come to find a great amount of peace and healing with my own imperfections from reading about someone else's.
