Eat, Pray, Love

One Woman's Search for Everything (Abridged)

By: Elizabeth Gilbert

Narrated by: Elizabeth Gilbert

It's 3 a.m. and Elizabeth Gilbert is sobbing on the bathroom floor. She's in her 30s, she has a husband, a house, they're trying for a baby - and she doesn't want any of it.

A bitter divorce and a turbulent love affair later, she emerges battered and bewildered and realises it is time to pursue her own journey in search of three things she has been missing: pleasure, devotion and balance.

So she travels to Rome, where she learns Italian from handsome, brown-eyed identical twins and gains 25pounds, an ashram in India, where she finds that enlightenment entails getting up in the middle of the night to scrub the temple floor, and Bali where a toothless medicine man of indeterminate age offers her a new path to peace: simply sit still and smile. And slowly happiness begins to creep up on her.

Critic reviews

"It's what I'm giving all my girl friends." ( Julia Roberts)

Beautiful Heartwarming

What a delight! Thank you Elizabeth for your amazing gift I was enthralled and like another compulsive addictive I couldn't stop listening. Your book is the second book I have listened to and I am hooked.
I recommend this book to all who want to get connected to themselves or simply want to feel good about themselves.

A light hearted encounter with meditation & faith

Enjoyable humorous descriptions and good narration. A feel-good book with some curious occurrences. The narrator beautifully portraits her ups and downs, many of which I identify with, and how she overcomes them. There is openness and respect for cultures or other religions. It did not however have a gripping effect on me, and I could easily put it down.

not bad at all!

I heard lots of positive and some negative feedback on this book... it took me forever to decide to buy it, but I'm glad I did. Elizbeth Gilbert talks so well about the different phases she went through, and it's full of humor, emotion and insight. I am surprised this is abridged because parts of it were very detailed. I loved Gilbert's narration.

It was good to listen to really well read

Great book-for-girls!!! Amazing narration !

Bought this audiobook because I wanted to "read" the book before watching the movie. Honestly, the movie trailer was the reason I decided to read this best seller and I`m so glad it did. The story is sweet, I liked the way the author describes in an "earthling" language, her inner journey to God and Divinity but what I did enjoy from beginning to end was Elizabeth Gilbert's narration. She totally brought all characters to life and transmited all kinds of feelings toward them. It was so vivid, like having cofee with your best friend and hearing all about her vacations.

You don't want to miss this

This book is everything to me. Elizabeth Gilbert looks like a shadow of me with this book. I have had the same thoughts, same yearnings... I love it!

Great listening to Gilbert

I loved this book when I read it and enjoyed it all over again hearing Elizabeth Gilbert read it herself. She brings the events and people even more to life.

The way she narrates story.

Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert is a must-read and even more captivating on Audible, where her narration brings the story to life. The memoir takes you on an inspiring journey of self-discovery through Italy, India, and Bali, as the author seeks pleasure, spiritual growth, and balance. Gilbert’s storytelling is heartfelt, relatable, and filled with humor, making it a deeply engaging experience. Listening to the voice adds authenticity and emotional depth, making the narrative feel even more personal. This story is a powerful reminder for every woman to embrace life, pursue happiness, and find her own path to fulfillment.

A Complete disappointment

I listen her on TED talk , and purchased 2 books. I started with this one and found waste of time only .
frustrating book , even I exchanged other books unread.
Seems to me anyone know any English can be writer at least 😅😅
