Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything
By Elizabeth Gilbert
I know many of you have already read the book Eat,
Pray, Love: One Woman’s Search for Everything.
I’ve only just read it and now it’s my
turn to rave about this book. For those of you
who haven’t read it, it is a true story of
Elizabeth’s climb out of a messy divorce and
her trips to Italy, Bali and an Ashram in India to,
in summary, find herself.
The wonder of this book
is that it is written in a delightful style which
is honest, easy to read but very thought provoking. What has me raving is
the many life gems within it, written in a sensible
practical and easy to understand way. Today I
will share with you from her book Eat Pray Love, her
thoughts on the balance between destiny and action. Do
we just let life happen and take the attitude that
it’s all meant to be or should we “make” things
happen, get out there and go do it? |

In addition to telling Jon's own story of his amazing
transformation, the book reveals why diets don't work
and explains a truly unique and revolutionary diet-free
way to lose weight. It's based on the fact that your
body has an internal logic that determines how fat or
thin you will be at any given time. The way to lose weight

but to understand this internal logic and work with it
so that your body wants to be thinner. |

Clark
For many people the career path proves to be a road to
hell. Even those who have risen to the heights in their
careers often feel frustrated, trapped, bored or isolated,
although they may continue to present to the world an image
of contented success. Their careers are an economic pursuit
that offer external rewards like money and status, but
little enjoyment or inner fulfilment. Such career angst
is rife throughout the world of managers and professionals.But
it doesn't have to be like this. Work and joy can - indeed
should - go hand in hand. |
