I did stay away from the book Eat, Pray, Love, because it was too popular (if there is something like that). I stayed away from it in all my snootiness. But then a few months ago, I happen to hear a talk by the author of this best (yes, euphemism and all) seller, Liz Gilbert, and I loved it and more than the talk, I loved her.
The ted talk is here, called Your Creative Elusive Genius

The earnestness, humour and honesty in that talk made me pick up a copy of Eat, Pray, Love. I loved it, and ever since I have read more books written by her.
Here is another talk, where Liz Gilbert shares the screen with Oprah for a candid chat on the Hero's Journey. Have you wondered what a calling sounds like? I have.
