Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia (Multi Format)

Image
Publisher: Penguin (Non-Classics) | 2010 | 352 pages | Format: Epub, Lit, Lrf, Mobi, Pdf, Rtf | 6.4MB
One comment from Amazon: "A delightful book, entertaining and full of wisdom. The author takes us along on her year-long journey to find her true self. Her account feels honest and yet has a lot of humor. Sprinkled in is interesting information about the countries she is visiting which I enjoyed as well."

“Starred Review. Gilbert (The Last American Man) grafts the structure of romantic fiction upon the inquiries of reporting in this sprawling yet methodical travelogue of soul-searching and self-discovery. Plagued with despair after a nasty divorce, the author, in her early 30s, divides a year equally among three dissimilar countries, exploring her competing urges for earthly delights and divine transcendence. First, pleasure: savoring Italy's buffet of delights--the world's best pizza, free-flowing wine and dashing conversation partners--Gilbert consumes la dolce vita as spiritual succor. "I came to Italy pinched and thin," she writes, but soon fills out in waist and soul. Then, prayer and ascetic rigor: seeking communion with the divine at a sacred ashram in India, Gilbert emulates the ways of yogis in grueling hours of meditation, struggling to still her churning mind. Finally, a balancing act in Bali, where Gilbert tries for equipoise "betwixt and between" realms, studies with a merry medicine man and plunges into a charged love affair. Sustaining a chatty, conspiratorial tone, Gilbert fully engages readers in the year's cultural and emotional tapestry--conveying rapture with infectious brio, recalling anguish with touching candor--as she details her exotic tableau with history, anecdote and impression.

National Geographic Traveler March 2011

Image

142 pages | English | PDF
National Geographic Traveler is the world's most widely read travel magazine. It championed sustainable travel before it was cool and, eight times annually, celebrates journeys that are about place, experience, culture, authenticity, living like the locals, and great photography. It makes a distinction between tourism and travel, and stresses inquisitive not acquisitive trips. It employs storytelling and you-are-there photography to inspire readers to pick up and go. And, with the theme of "All Travel, All the Time," it eschews fashion and fluff in favor of articles that offer a strong sense of place, inspiring narratives that make readers take trips, and solid service information to help them plan those trips.

About the Author
Zoologist Nola Lee Kelsey is the author of seven books, the creator of The Voluntary Traveler and the maniacal queen bee behind The Volunteer Before You Die(tm) Network, in charge of fluttering about and pollination every aspect of the network's blog, podcast, Facebook page and Twitter posts while making everyone around her a little bit nervous.

Over the past two decades Nola has worked as a dog caregiver for Best Friends Animal Society (Nat Geo Channel's `Dogtown'), a reptile keeper, marine park trainer, penguin handler and a wildlife rehabilitator. She is also a self-confessed serial volunteer for global animal rescue organizations.

As she has meandered the globe, her humor and travel articles have appeared in hundreds of diverse publications from Reptiles Magazine to The Bangkok Post Over the course of her life, Kelsey has been bitten by just about everything - twice! The final culprit was the writing bug. (According to Kelsey, this distant relative of the travel bug actually pumps ink into your veins while sucking your wallet dry.)

Kelsey is also a professional speaker and a published photographer with (and this is the only part that matters) a passion for educating people about volunteer travel opportunities.
