Eat-Pray-Love(MTI)
One of the most iconic, beloved, and bestselling books of our time. This beautifully written, heartfelt memoir touched a nerve among both readers and reviewers. Elizabeth Gilbert tells how she made the difficult choice to leave behind all the trappings of modern American success (marriage, house in the country, career) and find, instead, what she truly wanted from life. Setting out for a year to study three different aspects of her nature amid three different cultures, Gilbert explored the art of pleasure in Italy and the art of devotion in India, and then a balance between the two on the Indonesian island of Bali. By turns rapturous and rueful, this wise and funny author (whom&Booklist&calls “Anne Lamott’s hip, yoga- practicing, footloose younger sister”) is poised to garner yet more adoring fans. & 108則享樂與平衡的故事 享受人生 體驗人生 熱愛人生 她在小時候有個夢想：以為自己長大後會是兒女成群的媽媽。但在30歲以後，她才發現自己既不想要小孩，也不想要丈夫。 <span century="" font-size:="" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vert
