I record the Ophrah show everyday while at work. She has good shows from time to time. Today I watch a show with her guest Elizabeth Gilbert. She wrote a best selling book called "Eat, Pray, Love". I guess I am one of the few who has not heard of it.....anyways, it was a remarkable story about reclaiming one's life. Has anybody read it and is it as good as it sounds from the show?

Hi, read a lot of that stuff, but also never heard of this book or author before.  I missed the show, but sounds like it was an interesting one.  I believe any help we can acquire living our lives to the fullest is word the read.

I just read the book, and I really liked it. It's painfully honest in some places -- the woman had a bad divorce, then rebounded into a relationship that was half great and half awful, and finally decided to go on a spiritual quest to straighten herself out. She's a good writer, so it's easy to identify with her struggles, even if most of us can't afford to take a year-long trip around the world in order to get our mental house in order. I'm not into meditation, but I could follow and respect her descriptions of her experiences at an ashram in India. I *am* into food, and she makes Italy sound amazingly luscious.

So, all in all, I give it a thumbs up.
