Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert

Elizabeth Gilbert, traveler and author, relates her amazing spiritual journey after divorce and severe depression threaten to keep her down. Determined to find a different, peaceful existence she heads for Italy for four months, experiencing it fully then heading to India to spend four months meditating in an Ashram and learning from her Guru. After much soul searching and meditating, learning self-discipline, she heads for Bali to meet a Balinese medicine man who two years prior, had told her she would spend three or four months with him. This is not a "new-age" hype book, but a painfully honest look by Gilbert at herself, her reason for living, and how she attains her goals. A really great read.
