I saw this on Oprah...she was rather excited by this book and author, "Eat, Pray, Love " by Elizabeth Gilbert. The book is on the best seller lists for weeks and is highly raved.
The book is about one woman's spiritual quest to find herself. She sets on a quest to Italy where she ate pasta for 4 months, then she stayed in India where she prayed/meditated for another 4 months and finally she ended up in Bali to reconnect with a healer she met a year ago.
The author believed in universe something she call “The Physics of The Quest” – a force of nature governed by laws as real as the laws gravity or momentum. And the rule of Quest Physics maybe goes like this: “If you are brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting (which can be anything from your house to your bitter old resentments) and set out on a truth-seeking journey (either externally or internally), and if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue, and if you accept everyone you meet along the way as a teacher, and if you are prepared – most of all – to face (and forgive) some very difficult realities about yourself….then truth will not be withheld from you.”
The 3 suggestions she gave Oprah at the end of the show:
1. Ask yourself what you really really really want. And answered it.
2. Write down the happiest moments of the day.
3. Refine your mantra.

Another book that Oprah recommends is "Love in the time of Cholera". She thinks it is one of the greatest love story of all times.
