I am biased since I do have an essay in this collection, however I do believe this book is a beautiful testament of the resilient human spirit! These are stories from people that were inspired by Elizabeth Gilbert's beautiful journey in Eat, Pray, Love... But no matter where the motivation or inspiration comes from it is always touching to read vulnerable stories of people deciding to get back up, dust off, and start living again! <3
Like all of the writers who contributed to this book, Eat Pray Love also made a big impact on my life. I read it during the months soon after i left my ex-husband, and i remember exactly where i was sitting, and the way the light in the room looked, when i devoured it's pages.

This book has made me want to reread Eat Pray Love and read more mem...
A few days ago, while going out for iced tea and some air, I entered one of my favorite bookstores to find this book. I held it close to check the cover because it had 'EAT PRAY LOVE' on it; I wasn't sure if it was by the same author or a book written about the memoir. I flipped the first pages and read the introduction by Elizabeth Gilbert. The book is a celebration for ten years have passed since it was originally published, it's about real women and men who were deeply affected by this book t...
I only enjoyed 1/4 of the essays in this book. The rest were prertentious and repetitive. The number of women who wrote that after reading Eat Pray Love they had the courage to divorce their husband was disturbing. The nunber of women who after reading Eat Pay Love quit their jobs and became artists/writers/creatives was unsustainable (I'm sorry but the world can't function if everyone can just quit their 'boring' job and become full time authors). The number of women who after reading Eat Pray
I may be a little biased since a) I LOVE Elizabeth Gilbert, and b) I have an essay included in this book. I love the transformative tales told by such a wide array of people from vastly different backgrounds. If you're looking for a dose of inspiration in your day, this is it!
