Description

In the ten years since its electrifying debut, Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat Pray Love has become a worldwide phenomenon, empowering millions of readers to set out on paths they never thought possible. In this candid and captivating collection, nearly fifty of those readers - as diverse in their experiences as they are in age and background - share their stories. Eat Pray Love helped one woman to embrace motherhood, another to come to terms with the loss of her mother, and a third to find peace with not wanting to become a mother at all. One writer finds new love overseas; another embraces his sexual identity. The journeys they recount are transformative -sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking, but always inspiring. Entertaining and enlightening, Eat Pray Love Made Me Do It is a celebration for fans old and new.

Reviews

I loved Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love, passed to me by a friend -- Hillary Clinton What she does is very courageous and very difficult, though ultimately liberating, and I think we all wish that one day we would feel a certain way about ourselves and really do something about it -- Julia Roberts I loved it -- Meg Ryan If a more likable writer than Gilbert is currently in print, I haven't found him or her ... Gilbert's prose is fueled by a mix of intelligence, wit and colloquial exuberance that is close to irresistible -- Jennifer Egan It's like listening to your wisest and funniest best friend opening their heart to you. It taught me a lot about patience and optimism -- Esther Freud
