內容簡介
The only thing wrong with this readable, funny memoir of a magazine writer's yearlong travels across the world in search of pleasure and balance is that it seems so much like a Jennifer Aniston movie. Like Jen, Liz is a plucky blond American woman in her thirties with no children and no major money worries. As the book opens, she is going through a really bad divorce and subsequent stormy rebound love affair. Awash in tears in the middle of the night on the floor of the bathroom, she begins to pray for guidance, “you know —— like, to God.” God answers. He tells her to go back to bed. I started seeing the Star headlines: “Jen's New Faith!” “What Really Happened at the Ashram!” “Jen's Brazilian Sugar Daddy —— Exclusive Photos!” Please understand that Gilbert, whose earlier nonfiction book, The Last American Man, portrayed a contemporary frontiersman, is serious about her quest. But because she never leaves her self-deprecating humor at home, her journey out of depression and toward belief lacks a certain gravitas. The book is composed of 108 short chapters (based on the beads in a traditional Indian japa mala prayer necklace) that often come across as scenes in a movie. And however sad she feels or however deeply she experiences something, she can't seem to avoid dressing up her feelings in prose that can get too cute and too trite. On the other hand, she convinced me that she acquired more wisdom than most young American seekers —— and did it without peyote buttons or other classic hippie medicines. When Gilbert determines that she requires a year of healing, her first stop is Italy, because she feels she needs to immerse herself in a language and culture that worships pleasure and beauty. This sets the stage for a “Jen's Romp in Rome,” where she studies Italian and, with newfound friends, searches for the best pizza in the world......
作者伊麗莎白·吉爾伯特在小時候有個夢想:以為自己長大後會是兒女成群的媽媽。但在30歲以後,她纔發現自己既不想要小孩,也不想要丈夫。108個短篇象徵瞭靈魂探索、自我發現之旅。作者在意大利、印度、印尼三個不同國度之間尋找自己——到意大利品嘗美食,盡享感官的滿足,在世上好的比薩與美酒的陪伴下,靈魂就此再生。在印度,與瑜伽士的接觸,洗滌瞭她混亂的身心。巴厘島上,她尋得瞭身心的平衡。在這一整年的追尋快樂與虔誠之間的平衡中,她終於發現:“拯救我的人,並非王子,而是我自己操控我,拯救我”。

精彩書評
“很多女性在“成熟”的過程中會忽略瞭自己,希望知識女性能夠通過這本書,找到已經被忘掉的自我。”
——鳳凰衛視財經主播 曾子墨
“我認為,一個女孩會比一個男孩更早,更清晰地接納愛,瞭解愛。卻隻有在長大之後,通過各種方式的靈修瞭解男性世界的寬廣和深刻。在精神世界裏,二者從來是閤二為一的。”
——80後纔女作傢 安意如
“每一個女性都應該看看這本書,相信我。書非常好看,譯得也生動。EAT是在意大利,PRAY在印度,LOVE在印尼。從意大利到巴厘島,由頹廢變快樂,是一本旅行勵誌書。”
——知名作傢 趙趙
“一輩子做女孩”一書的作者,在外在的世界中遊曆、嘗試,過程顯然令人悠然神往,但是最重要的,還是在她曆經滄桑之後的感悟:拯救我的,不是王子,而是我自己。賞心悅目的閱讀經驗,對無法遊曆國外勝地的讀者來說,能與作者一同神遊,並且有所感悟,真是一趟豐富的視覺和心靈之旅!”
——《遇見未知的自己》作者 張德芬
“書的原名叫《EAT,PRAY,LOVE》,即美食、祈禱、愛。我相信這是一個女人自我救贖由淺入深的道路。”
——專欄作傢 情感專傢 莊雅婷
“女人首先是一個人,其次纔是一個女人。我認為本書的作者寫齣瞭女人的心聲。越來越多的女人會認識到:女人有自己獨立於男人的價值。”
——社會學傢 李銀河
“一切讓人始料不及,整個閱讀的過程交織在一種雞尾酒般的感覺中,欣喜、沉重、輕鬆混閤在一起直至升華……而使我如同看到瞭作者雙手奉上的充滿靈性的私密日記一般。”
——蟬舟瑜伽館董事長 劉暘
“成功的事業、幸福的傢庭之外,女性也應該關注一下自己內心最真實的感受。”
——橙天娛樂公關總監 伊剪梅
“美國女人的“療傷聖經”。
——美國脫口秀女皇 奧普拉
