[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never read her, but I've heard/read some excerpts from her writing and I thought they were well-done.

I cannot stand Elizabeth Gilbert. I actually read her book Eat, Pray, Love and found that she treated her ex so cruelly at the beginning of the book just because she didn't have the ovaries to call it quits. So hurt him, humiliated him, spoke badly about him in the book and then she wants us to celebrate that she found joy in life? Like you couldn't have done all of these things while married?

I generally like Brene Brown, although I feel like she's been forced to extend her space and presence and it doesn't work anymore. But overall, especially when she first "came out" I read some of her stuff and was really touched by her analysis. [/quote]

here's some tea for you, DCUM.  I actually knew Elizabeth Gilbert's first husband at the time of their divorce.  He was visibly devastated.  He is a super nice guy. So I was mortified when I saw her book come out, could not stand to even touch it because of feeling so badly for him.  Then one day years later I ran into him ... and he was doing fabulously! Married a accomplished woman and has a couple of kids, I think.  He had the last laugh in just being a better person.  The funny thing was, when I ran into him, I was at a DC cafe and I had JUST seen this chick across from me reading Eat Pray Love and run throught that entire thought process again in my head.

That is good tea!!Glad he's doing well.  E Gilbert was awful to him[/quote]
