Actually the review of the book by Anne Lamott says it all:
"This is a wonderful book, brilliant and personal, rich in spiritual insight, filled with sorrow and a great sense of humour. Elizabeth Gilbert is everything you would love in a tour guide, of magical places she has traveled to both deep inside and across the oceans: she's wise, jaunty, human, ethereal, hilarious, heartbreaking, and God, does she pay great attention to the things that really matter."
