There’s a picture of me from last year (Mcleod Ganj, India) holding up a copy of Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat, Pray, Love. It’s been my Facebook profile picture for a while now, and at least a dozen of my friends have asked me what I thought of the book.
Truth? I can understand why it appealed to so many people, but it fell a little flat for me. Maybe because I’m not into that kind of spirituality or maybe simply because having come from a very different background, I couldn’t quite identify with the author’s struggle.
HOWEVER. Elizabeth Gilbert herself seems like a charming, honest author, who isn’t afraid to share her real experiences and talk about her strengths and weaknesses. Now that, I admire.
I came across this video recently, and found myself laughing and nodding along so many times. Definitely worth a watch for all the creatives reading this.
