Eat Pray Love Made Me Do It

Life Journeys Inspired by the Bestselling Memoir

De: Various, Elizabeth Gilbert - introduction

Narrado por: Cassandra Campbell, Marc Cashman, Robbie Daymond, Mark Deakins, Ariana Delawari, Jorjeana Marie, Emily Rankin

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?

Introduction written and read by Elizabeth Gilbert.

Another Inspiration

Beautifully written and gorgeously read.

I first read Eat, Pray, Love a year or so after it came out. It moved me, but not in an earth shattering way. When the movie came out, I bought it. Between the two, I was greatly inspired to make several life changes. This book showed me that not only was I not alone, I was amongst friends.

Eat, Pray, Love Made Me Do It is funny, difficult, cry inducing, and humbling. Where I do disagree with some of Elizabeth Gilbert's motivations, I was happy to hear the stories of others who read her memoir and were also inspired to make a life change in order to truly find their direction.

I would recommend this and the original to anyone looking for the inspiration to make a change, however small, in the context of their life's purpose. We are all looking for fulfillment, and reading the search from others is awe inspiring.

I enjoyed the cast and the writing and will listen to this over and over.

Thank you Liz.

I didn't realize...

I didn't realize this book was about stories that resulted from the "Eat, Pray, Love" book, which I absolutely LOVE (as so many others did). I love Elizabeth Gilbert's writing style, but this book is not written by her; it's a compilation of letters written to her by people who loved "Eat, Pray, Love" and how they were inspired by her book. It was, however, enjoyable and sweet, with some great stories (others I skipped right through). It made me want to re-read the original book and re-watch the movie.
