Elizabeth Gilbert
In this memoir, 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.

"This won't be a full review because I couldn't finish the book. I only got to the first trip to Italy and stopped. I couldn't relate to any of it even though I have felt soul crushing depression before and didn't really want children because I wanted to travel. It doesn't seem like you get to know much about any of the other characters she encountered so I just felt like I was in her head the entire time and it was pretty exhausting. Maybe it turned out better if I were to keep going but it just made me feel depressed and a little stressed out."
"This book spends a lot of time focusing on the value of spending time with your thoughts. Traveling Italy on a solo adventure, digging deeper into a meditation practice at the cradle of a religious movement, or allowing yourself to fall in love on an island in the south Asian sea, for our author none of the life-altering changes can come to fruition if we do not know ourselves."
"I love the movie too. "

"I have. I think the book was much better. The movie did not capture the emotion and feeling of the book. I did enjoy the movie though. If you go into without expecting it to follow exactly. It was a decent adaptation though."
