I didn’t hate or love it but it felt like refreshing
I loved this book (audiobook actually)! Maybe it is where I am in my life when I read it, but I have never been truly been inspired by a book by the way I have with this one. It is a cross between a woman's growth into an independent self that she likes, her travel experiences, and learning about cultures from around the world. The book is separated into three parts. Eat, she is based in Rome and explores Italy. Pray, she is at an ashram in India learning about herself. Love, she is in Bali winding up her adventure and setting her paces for the next step in her life.
I want to listen to it again and maybe I will. The book was different that I thought it would be. I thought it would be more about her travels, not about a woman finding herself. So I kind of tuned out some of the first parts when she was in Italy. But I got completely caught up in her and her experiences once she got to India. She practices meditation and she goes through thinking how tedious some of these practices are and how unrealistic they are in every day life. But then she gets swayed over by her guru. I found her path very interesting. Some of my favorite parts is how she described her relationships and the people she meets from all over the world. And when she goes to these places she lives there for four months each so we find out what life really is like. The audiobook is read by the author herself and she seems like someone who thinks and feels the same things as me. I want to be her friend :)

Every woman should read this book. This is a memoir about the author's journey of self discovery. While most people cannot accomplish this the way that she did, she describes the process and benefits of going on this journey. She does this is such an engaging and heartfelt way. She is incredibly introspective, open and honest. I can imagine that most women can relate to her emotions on some level.
Many women are socialized not to know what they want out of life. This book reminds us all that we need to look into ourselves and identify the things that are most important to us and to live our lives in a way to attain those things. I had the opportunity to hear her speak and was just as pleased by her in person as she is in this book. I gave my paperback copy of the book to my mother-in-law and asked her to sign inside the cover and then pass it on to another woman after she was done reading it and so on...
Highly recommended.

I read someone’s diary—utterly fascinating. Italy: food. India: pray. Bali: love. But the book isn’t really about any of that.

All in all this was an ok book. I couldnt decide if I loved or hated this book. One minute I was into it then the next I wasnt sure if I wanted to finish it. I ended up finishing the book because there were some really good parts.
