I could listen to her for hours and hours...

I love her voice, there's a send of calmness and peace about her

Very moved by her honesty and intelligence.

I like when she talks about being compassionate and not to punish ourselves for decisions that we made in the past. We made the best decision that we could with what we had. So ten years later we shouldn't regret. Love her!

Seriously adore this woman.

...the most wonderful lovely speach I´ve listened to in a long time Wise Wise Wise. Healthy Open Honest Love. Beautiful to listen to

She is so fantastic! Clarity and recognition of her gift of writing ~ then she went for it ~ as we all need to follow our passions and dreams. Focus is my word of the day!

wow.. never before in my 30 years have I listened to someone that beyond much relate to and agree with absolutely on every goddamn point and remark made while still finding and receiving an enormous amount of inspiration from it... that also made me feel so nice and cozy and finally understood and belonging in a way ugh I can't really explain it but wow. I laughed, I cried, I paused to process, I feel like a slightly(?) better self now I haven't even read any of the books and never seen the movie (should I say ive been pretty judgmental and eye-rolling about it and had not zero but negative desire to even bother with a trailer) Thank you!

Super sincere, refreshing

She is awesome: her book "Eat Pray Love" changed my life:):) Good job Elizabeth.

Oh my gosh! The CURSE! I can write, I can paint, I can draw, I can sing. Thank the saints at least I can't play a musical instrument. Lol! Someone finally understands that having multiple talents and interests can be such a disadvantage. It's like have multiple personalities creatively and being pulled in every direction at once. For me personally , it's left me utterly lost, without identity or purpose.

I loved the point where she mentioned that "I want my partner to inspire me everyday and that's a lot to ask in marriage". She is so right to say because I think we cannot have marriage with expectation but with space where each one can grow in their own way.

That is JUSt it. This woman's voice just calms me!!!

Would love to just sit down with her over a cup of coffee and chat and chat and chat!!

Liz, you have an insatiable thirst for clarity!!!! Eat Pray Love for me ,is a mirror of Feminine Manifestation in our human consciousness in that we are all Universal beings, willing to be all we can be, when we receive and allow relaxation into that of what is,original and personal for each of us

She has such a great smile!

I love this woman...

i don't think you heard her correctly. she said it's arguably easier to find time to meditate in prison than when you have a job, a family and all those other pressures and commitments. i work with prisoners, they definitely agree with her.

Insightful woman....i crave absolutely everything all the time, all professions, all skills, all information

yes you're right... it's maybe hard to explain it in english for me.. but for a woman who has not grown up with a religious education and who comes from NY and everything that this mean nowadays,, she find a way to be peacefull in her mind, I find this admirable. Even though I know that wedding is sacred, she made her husband free from her non true love for him.. so after a while he will (i hope) find the right girl who will love him as he deserve, and completely. But yes you're right

really love her! truly awesome and inspiring person!😊

I found this video right on time! Great material.

you are a very wonderful person and woman ,continue writing good works

I love the whole hiding in a cave process when you're writing…. I can totally relate to this Elizabeth ;)

I liked what she said about the U.S. being a young country

I admire her

Damn, she's good! I just had a message typed up about how she's wrong at 37:45 because I'm 37 and a guy with kids and I feel the same way... Just listened to the rest of her thought and well, shit.

I wish I could talk like her!! She’s so clear and natural! She sounds like me if I had just taken 30mg of adderall

i feel calm listening to her

Loved hearing her pour out her mind out but it was strange it not being an interview because she is such phenomenal 2 way conversationalist especially when she vibes with the other person

Liz Gilbert, you're also talented at talking! Some of us are not!

retrospective regret... most definitely something I spent too much time on as young woman and so definitely not what I intend to spend more time on as I age. Thank you for sharing this conversation.

...women knew how to control their own reproductive lives. They knew how to space children, what to do to help prevent conception, which plants would prevent a pregnancy from developing. And the reverse. Somewhere certain societies took a turn, from celebrating women as the source of life - the ultimate gift - to reducing life to a burden, an 'accident' in an unfeeling mechanical universe. Now, if you are not a cog in the gov't/industrial wheel, do you have value? Or a place in society?

Eat, pray and love worked because many women has very similar story

*watching*

In many ways, 'Metropolis' has become true. People live to serve 'the machine'. In primitive societies, every child was celebrated. Children gathered, fished, built... practiced the skills of that culture w/ parents & relatives. There were exceptions... but as life became increasingly industrial, 'work' became more dangerous & separated from 'life' & family. Now we live to work; home is a pitstop. Families spend little time together & most of that watching a screen. Food for thought.

she is one of the smartest person I know I dont think your "spirituality" is more real you know if you just spiting on other people without even spend an hour in person with them

29:36

excellent points, i took a look at your channel and found some interesting videos on there, but it would be cool if you made more comments, because based on your comments for this video i'm sure people would be interested to get your take on many other things, i know i am

She thinks it better to be in prison, so you can meditate? She's spiritual to the point where she's lost touch with reality

A writer is interested in EVERYTHING! I don't know what you mean.

MARVELOUSidealmaker

"their attention is kind of fragmented across many fields..."... lol yes that can be tricky, and it certainly makes it hard to narrow down your focus, especially if your brain is a bit borderline and you feel like everything and nothing at the same time

Do you agree with my expanded/elaborated argument?

i fall people, men, women, young and old, this world would be great.

Thank you, litteringGlitter. In the '1st world', we are told we are are healthier, happier, 'free-er' & have more leasure than people anywhere on the planet, anytime in history. A close look at the facts would show us that these are all false. Life has challenges for everyone, of any race, of any gender, in any society, in any time. I think we all have interesting things to say, sing, show, and share with each other. Best to you!

well, one of the reasons for book's success (which i loved btw) is several mentionings of 9/11...

Eat Love Pray. Get divorce #2

Women are feced with conflicts between work or 'career' and family for the first time not only because they have had more opportunity in the industrial/ paternalistic culture -in which men have also been reduced to cogs in the machine (whether it be an electronic one); but also because of two other factors: family life and 'work' used to be much closer together, even the same, as people found, produced, and bartered for what they needed or wanted - AND because women used to have knowledge on...

the funny thing about this interview when she speaks about obama , obama was not real so this hope thing was not real. so ,this part of the thing about america was not so great.

I so agree about being multi focused..how I envy you!

Holy Journey, eh?

Pilgrimage

i like this speech but i dont agree that she is the representative of American women of her age.

I am cursed

I don't think so. She might seem great to us - readers and fans but you can see that she's as much of a mess as anybody in her book Eat, Pray, Love. Being too sensitive causes troubles.

Incorrect. Think of the way Gilbert’s spiritual odyssey plays out. Eat, Pray, Love begins with her throwing over her husband of five years (a man whose devotion and decency she praises to the skies) because she’s bored and frustrated and isn’t ready to have kids. God’s intercession is sought to smooth her divorce proceedings and then to ease her sense of guilt over her own conduct. She sees God as an enabler of adult desire, a source of justifications for whatever the heart already prefers

All I know is that Jesus is Lord and anything after that is pure dribble, including these self help meditation tingies.
