Eat, Pray, Love

Now I know why Eat, Pray, Love is New York Times' "1 Best Seller. This is an excellent read. It is written by Elizabeth Gilbert and she writes about her spiritual search while traveling across Italy, India and Indonesia. In Italy she pursues Pleasure, in India she pursues Devotion and in Indonesia she pursues Balance. These are such wonderful attributes that we should always pursue enjoy and seek. Have you ever asked yourself, what really gives you pleasure? What are you totally devoted to? and Is your life balanced?

She reveals in her book the power of meditation, which is so important to spend just 10 min daily taking deep breathes to regain focus and to stay in the present. It is very important to take care of ourselves physically but it is just as important to spiritually take care of ourselves. When was the last time you actually sat in stillness to ask yourself, What is it that you really want out of this life? Do you explore and listen to your internal voice of wisdom that only truly appears in the stillness of the moment. Are you pleasing others and living up to their expectations or do you do the things that make you happy? Pretty deep! Asking yourself "What do I want?" is the first step to defining and setting goals.

Her story telling techniques and humor makes this book an enjoyable read.
