True stories inspired by one of the most iconic, beloved,
bestselling books of our time
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 search of their own best selves.
Here, in this candid and captivating collection, nearly
fifty of those readers—people as diverse in their
experiences as they are in age and background—share their
stories. The journeys they recount are
transformative—sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking,
but always deeply inspiring.
Eat Pray Love helped one writer to embrace motherhood,
another to come to terms with the loss of her mother, and
yet another to find peace with not wanting to become a
mother at all. One writer, reeling from a difficult divorce,
finds new love overseas; another, a lifelong caregiver, is
inspired to take an annual road trip, solo. A man leaves
seminary, embraces his sexual identity, and forges a new
relationship with God. A woman goes to divinity school and
grapples with doubt and belief. One writer’s search for the
perfect pizza leads her to New Zealand and off-the-grid
homesteading, while another, in overcoming an eating
disorder, redefines her relationship not only with food but
with herself. Some writers face down devastating illness and
crippling fears, and others step out of their old lives to
fulfill long-held dreams of singing, acting, writing,
teaching, and learning.
Entertaining and enlightening, Eat Pray Love Made Me Do It
is a celebration for fans old and new. What will Eat Pray
Love make you do?
