Reads like a bunch of glowing reviews of Eat, Pray, Love. I like compilations of short essays, but these didn’t really do anything for me. I would just stick to the memoir

It is touching to see how one book, one person, one story could alter so many people’s lives.

I liked the idea behind this anthology and admittedly I did enjoy some of the original stories written by authors who were inspired by Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat Pray Love. That being said, my reason for loving Elizabeth Gilbert was notably missing: HER voice.

I LOVED Eat, Pray, Love and felt inspired by the book so I was excited to hear more people’s experiences with it. Sadly, it just fell flat. I think each person’s story felt too short to me

This was a wonderful night time read. A lot of stories resonated with me and felt empowering but there were also a lot that I couldn’t connect with hence the lower rating.

While reading EPL wasn't exactly life changing for me, I read it at a time I was in a state of flux after divorce and it certainly gave me hope and confidence to go forth and create a new life for myself. My favorite part of the essay collection was Liz Gilbert's introduction. I appreciate that she recognizes that the fact that so many people connected with EPL doesn't necessarily mean it her story was that extraordinary. She points out that what all these essays have in common with EPL is that they feature an individual who reached a point in their life where they realized "I don't have to live this way anyone" and did something about it. Not all these essays have a direct connection to EPL, but they all have that theme in common, and that's what I found inspiring.

I loved "Eat, Pray, Love" and was so excited to read this book, but I just could not get into it. I started with Just the audio book and found that I had a hard time keeping each story separate. I switched to the e-book and that helped some but I found this book dragging out. For the first time ever when I finished the audio book today I found myself saying "Finally" out loud.
