Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia is a 2006 memoir by American author and memoirist Elizabeth Gilbert. The memoir chronicles the author's trip around the world after her divorce, and what she discovered during her travels. As of February 2010, the book had remained on the New York Times Best Seller list for 158 weeks.
At 32 years old, Gilbert was educated, had a home and a husband, and a successful career as a writer. However, she was not happy; she was depressed with her marriage, often spending the night crying on her bathroom floor. She divorced her husband and entered into a relationship with another man, but this relationship did not work out either. She decided that she needed a change. She spent the next year travelling the world. She spent four months in Italy, eating and enjoying life (Eat). She spent four months in India, trying to find her spirituality (Pray). She ended the year in Bali, Indonesia, looking for "balance" of the two, and love (Love).
Gilbert paid for the trip with an advance she received on a book she planned to write.
Columbia Pictures purchased the movie rights for the memoir and will produce a film version under the same title set to be released on August 13, 2010 in the USA. The Australian release date is October 14th. Julia Roberts is starring in the film; Nip/Tuck creator Ryan Murphy will adapt and direct the film. Actor Brad Pitt and Dede Gardner will produce the film.
