Book Review: "Eat, Pray, Love"

Right now, I'm in between jobs and so I have some extra time to enjoy reading and ponder a bit about what I've read.

I recently finished re-reading Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. What book isn't great that pronounces the wonders of eating pasta and pizza?
Gilbert tells her stories, and weaves her history into how she got to her present state (of living four months each in Italy, India and Indonesia for a year), in an incredible way. As a writer, I look to her writing as a guide or other inspiration on writing style.

As we get into more crazy world and lives, there are three simple things that we can maximize within our lives:

• Pleasure
• Devotion
• Balance

While Gilbert goes off on a round-the-world trip to seek these out, it's important to also cultivate these within our daily lives as well. With the extra time on my hands right now, it's something that I'm working on too!
