[stylist] blindness blog

[Anita Adkins]

Hello,

Oh, sorry.  JAWS has sometimes done that for me, and it is annoying.  I do 
not know if I know how to help you with that, but maybe someone on the list 
does.  alt+downarrow and then the up and down arrow keys are working for me 
on the site, and I am not sure why that is.  So if someone knows how to 
solve this technical problem, please share.  Thanks.  Anita

>> Dear List,
>>
>> This book has been mentioned already, but I finally finished it and I 
>> would say pass on reading it. Eat, Pray, Love was not the fabulous 
>> spiritual, enlightening read that Oprah has raved about. I found it to be 
>> a self-indulgent narrative about a woman who develops an emotional 
>> disorder and leaves all her responsibilities behind just to discover 
>> "self."
>>
>> Don't get me wrong, psychological conditions can be serious and terrible. 
>> I've struggled with depression before, but I feel Gilbert uses her 
>> emotional rollercoaster as an excuse to escape. This is what the title 
>> should have been: Get Fat, Sleep, (I won't use the word I really want to 
>> use) Have Sex.
>>
>> As for the writing, there are places where Gilbert leaves her personal 
>> narrative and jumps into a preachy voice. I get this was a spiritual 
>> journey for her, but she tries to reach a universal and I don't think she 
>> makes the mark.
>>
>> To be honest, I was bored by this book. Our culture has become way to 
>> self involved. Yes it is true that we can not cultivate happiness when we 
>> are not happy, but usually losing our selfish nature by thinking about 
>> others and caring for the needs of others, is what can bring true peace 
>> and harmony to our lives. We need to build up self and care for self, but 
>> their must be balance. Gilbert, I find, believes the personal journey is 
>> more important than the universal journey.
>>
>> Then again, what is more self involved than memoir or personal essay? 
>> *smile*
