- I think that writing memoir is the most potent action I can take in this world. When I sit down to write – not an easy place to get to – I feel all my energies and abilities come into one focus, one laser point – I feel like a bird, pausing in mid-air, then plummeting down into the waves, intent on that one fish that will save it. I write, then come up for air, then look at what I have unearthed. It usually looks like just a handful of dust, not worth much. I could easily toss it out and forget about it. But I don’t. Not anymore. I add it to the pile. I am not sure what I am building, but this is all I have. For some reason, it is my most precious thing, the one thing that feels purely my own.

I came here after reading the New York Post article. I will definitely have to read your book. I've not read the other, but I have seen the movie previews and Julia Roberts claims to be Hindu.
I read a book last year called 'The Gurus, the Young Man, and Elder Paisios' that was a memoir of a man who spent a lot of time in ashrams in India and the trouble it caused his life.
I wanted to thank you for writing, because I do think it is important to warn people about groups that can cause more harm than good. Hopefully, your book has saved a few folks a lot of hassle and caused them to rethink.
Interesting, I will have to take a look at that book. I'm not sure if my book has stopped anyone from going in that direction -- my experience is that if someone is interested in that stuff not much will change their minds. That's how I was! But perhaps some have read my book and felt less alone, have recognized their own experience in my description of mine. That would be good. Thank you for your interest and for writing your thoughts, and I hope you enjoy the book!
Eat, Pray, Love is a journey through selfishness....It's not enlightenment!
