Eat, Pray, Love by Eizabeth Gilbert

Crashing from a divorce and post-divorce affair, Elizabeth Gilbert seeks to regain her strength and independence by taking a year to do something purely pleasurable (eat her way through Italy) followed by something inspirational. From Italy she went to an ashram in India where she honed meditation technique and made the spiritual connection she'd been looking for. Then it was on to Bali to visit an old medicine man. Gilbert's sense of humor, personal insight, and clear reporting make Eat, Love, Pray a joy to read. It is the tale of a highly individualistic and courageous woman who transcends the expectations of society to become more truly herself. Excellent book.
