‘A WONDERFUL BOOK, BRILLIANT AND PERSONAL, RICH IN SPIRITUAL

INSIGHT” ANNE LAMOTT

In her early thirties, Elizabeth Gilbert had everything a modern American woman was

supposed to want- husband, country home successful career – but instead of feeling

happy and fulfilled, she felt consumed by panic and confusion. This wise and

rapturous book is the story of how she left behind all these outward marks of success,

and of what she found in their place. Following a divorce and a crushing depression,

Gilbert set out to examine three different aspects of her nature, set against the

backdrop of three different cultures: pleasure in Italy, devotion in India, and on the

Indonesian island of Bali, a balance between worldly enjoyment and divine

transcendence.

fulfill = complete, satisfy

feel consumed by panic and confusion = feel panicked and confused

rapturous = delighted, blissful

outward = external
