I swear she makes me feel better no matter what is going on with me. It's amazing how she touches so many women and men through her wit, her poise and her wisdom.
plus she's got balls🙏 Edit; i forgot which interview, she says to follow ur curiosity, not follow ur bliss, or this or that, but if u wonder what to do creatively or what is the book u want to write, what draws ur attention? Liz is so good at ditching the non vital, we can Iocate what we're curious about, why do we have to make every thing so f'ing complicated? Liz makes it tangible , ya?
she is my guide ,,,,she is my mentor ,,,my fairygodmother,,,,when she speaks she speaks the language of my soul,,,,thankyou liz for showing us(women) the way love you
I just burst into tears over the bit about women now being able to own their own property, travel, not have to have children, freedom to be single..WOW
I literally just got up from my bed to give this talk a standing ovation at minute 41:00!!! Elizabeth is a hero. I'm single, 37 with no kids, and I swear I have accumulated the best stories and experiences in this lifetime. 100% Elizabeth Gilbert approved GUILT & SHAME FREE
Chantal Lourens I’m glad you have. If no romantic relationship works for me, I have a plan to go full on single and try to do shit for not only myself but for others. Doesn’t mean I already do, but I feel that there is more freedom.
@@sandyavalos3305 I like that. And who knows what beautiful things life brings when you focus on your own path rather than so called "shortcomings". Enjoy your journey xx
I love you Liz, you are amazing, I was married for 20 years to a man and 7 years later after I divorced him, I could never see myself in that kind of relationship with another man. I truly, through heart, I believe love has no gender,. If a love of my life, if I am ever blessed with this experience, if she is female, so be it. I have no label for myself, not lesbian nor one who has appreciation for men too which society expects this of us to be with the opposite gender. Not same gender. Anyway, I don't date, I can never see myself living with another human again, I love myself and I am good in my own skin, I don't need another human to validate me, I have always lost myself in the other person, I lose myself and I don't desire this anymore. Love my animals! Stay healthy everyone in these times we are experiencing today. Love and cyber-long distance- hugs to everyone!
her words r so impactful they fill me up i cant watch her interviews in one go,,,,i get so filled with love n wisdom i have pause take it in then come back,,,,,,,women need to hear this ,,,,,u r my mentor liz
“Tell the truth, tell the truth, tell the truth!” You are doing this amazingly well, with so much authenticity and vulnerability Liz! You are setting us free! 🙏
At about one-hour 15 minutes, I so appreciate Gilbert's authenticity and humanity in back-tracking on that "trope" which is problematic. To the woman who asked the question, from my own experience and learning, I would like to recommend re-placing the word "love" with "value" and say, in all that you do, make sure that your choices come from a place of valuing yourself (your time, your energy, your needs etc.) and do not value somebody else more than you value yourself. You can value yourself and another person at the same time, but do not value another person at the expense of yourself.
Oh my.....Liz Gilbert, you touch my heart and soul in so many ways. When I read, or hear your words,generous,open,honest,full of wisdom and compassion, I could literally kneel before you to express my gratitude to you for who you are, and how you touch my life every day. I live with bipolar with mixed moods,and rapid cycles, and creativity-artwork and writing are integral to who I am. Recently, my psychiatric nurse did a care plan for keeping me well,and listening to your talks,and reading your books were number one in the list of things that make me feel well. THANK YOU!💜I loved what you shared about making yourself get off the couch crying, to stand in the middle of the room on one foot,crying! It was like you were in my head!😲😊. I told my sister today that I wish I could be your friend...the truth is, I feel like you already are. Thank you Liz, for what you do for me,the world, and for the amazing woman you are. Love you 💜💜👩🎨
This interview is so brilliant, from everything... on creativity on being a woman on death on being stewards of our own bodies and mind... I cried several times during this interview and continue to. Thank you Elizabeth Gilbert for being you and for sharing yourself, transparently, authentically and with complete abandon to us all. You are magnificent.
What a grand journey we are all on! Such perfect timing to watching this today for the first time. Such great, insightful, deep conversation into the plentiful well of our hearts, our existence, our being. Thank you, Liz and Oprah, for such a wonderful co-creative journey captured on camera! The alchemy of souls! LOVE IT. And, thank you, Rayya, for flowing thru as well. Gorgeous!
WOW. Just Brilliant... I am in awe of this woman and her incredible skill to put things in perspective. Ive never read the bible and now I want to go read that throw down speech! Thank you for this Liz Gilbert, I hope I meet you one day on a plane. ❤️
I really agree with this--I used to view art as involving pain and some kind of self-destruction, and then, years later, I became really playful with my art. Of course, the later was much more fun!
I just finished City of Girls while on a beautiful vacation in Corsica. Liz - what a triumph -- brilliant brilliant hilarious real -- you are BIG MAGIC GIRL! Thank you so for City of Girls 🙏🏻✨💫❤️
Thank you so much for posting this. I couldn't get to the talk in person, so this is great. Liz Gilbert is one in a million. Always tells great stories, isn't afraid to speak her truth, and thus inspires others to do the same. 🙏
What a beacon of light you are, Elizabeth. I’ve decided that we are totally best friends lol-and this interview is absolutely golden. Gratitude for such quality content 🙏🏾
I love this beyond words. 💫 I have yet to ever listen to an Elizabeth Gilbert interview, that I didn't learn something that was eye opening and life altering for me.🥰
I'm French born artist woman and I so much agree with Liz about London/ versus Paris .... I was a resident In UK for 10 years and there are fundamental societal differences ..... veronique
Watched the movie years ago. It always intrigued me, so I was walking through Barnes and Noble and I seen the tenth edition and I was like okay let me read the book and see how it differs from the movie. So glad I picked up the book! Now i've been watching all the interviews and I'm blown away by what happened since the book ended. Really hope she writes a book on Rayya! I don't agree with everything in the book, but that's okay, because it challenges my own thoughts and beliefs and I think we always need a review of these from time to time!
If you can't love yourself it doesn't mean you can't love other people, but I do think it impacts the quality of your love. When you love yourself you aren't afraid to do what's right rather than what's easy. You aren't afraid to speak truthfully rather than soothingly. You don't want to placate rather than be honest. Loving yourself means not allowing those you love to take advantage of that; not loving yourself enough leaves you vulnerable to loving people too much. And, yes, that is very possible. When Elizabeth ended a marriage that was just not working for her, that was self-love. Would you be able to do that without loving yourself as much as you need to?
Elizabeth, thank you from the very bottom of my being for saying you wake up thinking "Oh, f*ck, F U H C K! OMG, NOoooooo!!" because I DO TOO and it is always encouraging to know that 'others' (especially 'others' as lovely and successful and bright as your very human self) are having this response to BEING HERE. The things I do to manage that moment of transition from unconscious/sleeping to conscious BEING HERE ... ugh, Jesus. There is such deep, awful psychic pain in waking. Thankfully, it doesn't last toooooo long anymore... but having to fight ones way onto the day is so weird and such a pain ... and I wish I understood it better. Since so many admit to this these days (and really YOUNG people!!!), I have come to believe that we are all connected and psychic/sensitive ... that THAT is the energy on the planet now. And my thought is ... that COLLECTIVELY we have to heal out of separateness.
52:13 ‘Please don’t bombard us with cures or horror stories.’ Thank you Elizabeth. I think many relate (silently) and want to ask the same but don’t for fear of hurt feelings or rocking boats. Speak your truth. It’s your life and right. You owe to yourself. 🙏 I also admire how open to love she is even after the passing of a partner. She seems to walk her talk... amp.nine.com.au/article/37886e11-680c-4976-aafd-7a34af18efb9
Excellent conversation. I enjoyed the company, yet I am only a virtual participant. Thank you to Elizabeth for sharing her creativity , and everyone who made it happen.
I love Elizabeth Gilbert and her sense of freedom. But I would like to add that it is really impossible for a person who doesn't have children to know what it means to have kids and the love one feels. It's a kind of love that is unconditional and beautiful. My kids give me joy and happiness.
@@rachaeliggulden1203 I totally agree. I just didn't like the whole reference how people live longer without kids etc. But don't get me wrong, I love Elizabeth Gilbert and her sense of freedom. 💗💗
@Angelica Rodriguez I so understand it. I was worried too, a lot. My kids are independent now, I have all the freedom I want, and I also have their love. It's a beautiful combination.
Yvonneb2 We are all limited by our experience (examples, those who are married, those who have children, those who are stewards of children or animals through adoption, vs. those who don't have children, etc.), but I don't think there's a definitive type of unconditional love. Even among parents, you can see the difference in their level of love and commitment to their children. I've also witnessed unconditional love shown by (childless by choice) teachers to their students that could arguably be considered unconditional love.
I want to comment on perfectionism. I tried lots of ways to let it go...including Elizabeth's way. But.. alas...I ended up not even trying to create. Today I have this perception... I am perfect for all that God has prepared for me to each day...I can do all I am prepared to do. Whatever I create is perfect for what I know today. So, I can create quickly or slowly and be ok either way. I am a Communications Artist and Collage Illustrator... I can agonize over a piece... I can quickly compose some elements into a message... I can work, nap, finish Every day is unique...but perfect for me. Caveat: I have no publisher pushing me to completion. 😎
I used to write a lot of songs, and it was always in that rapid state of mind that she talked about. But, I don't think that's a healthy state of mind, and it might be part of why she wakes up in a panic every morning. I gave up caffeine, wine, chocolate, and nuts, which stimulate the nervous system and deplete many vitamins and minerals, and changed my diet to eating a lot of meat soups and butter, which calm rapid thinking down, and the constant stream of music going through my head finally stopped-thank God! So, if she did this, she might stop waking up in a panic, believing that life is dangerous, and just be happy.
@@collef1136 She did say she wakes up in a panic every morning, and I don't think she was being facetious. She also said that her main job was to tend to her mental health. Creative pursuits are often therapy, and, who knows, song writing might have been helpful to me. But, the calmer state of mind that I've reached by changing my diet, like I mentioned, has been far more helpful to me than staying in my personal rapid flow of thoughts.
Joan Tendler I understand what you are saying. I think waking in a panic isn’t a good way to be either. My sister is a writer, I know the part she was talking about, critical and being particular vs staying in the flow, the down load so to speak. Getting in their own way.
Julia Haw She says shame does not exist because you can not pass it. And at the same time she keeps talking about god as something real. How are they different? Both concepts are invented. Why does she believe only in one of them?
Lady, what a sweet rainwater shower you are! Read some of you.. yes... but just want to say, you sing my soul. Thank you for all you have sat within yourself, as you have the gift of connected sharing. I Live in stewardship ( I guess...loveit). A doula, support in souls and have been graced to support souls out, the breath is constant until it isn't.
Precious.. The Ideas, the honesty, filled me, made me pause n ponder, kept me seated and again ..filled to the brim!! ...oh Also reminded me - the things that I must/need to/ should do.. Just cause.. Thank you!!
It's true...my religion ( Islam) says that...not only your qualities but Your problems your turbulence have also been tailor made according to your capacity...so even it might be difficult for some really blessed people to love others, while some really abused people will be willing to give and love more, it's more about understanding your self what you can take or not, some times we are kinder because it gives us better sleep, being unkind is not a thing for us ...
I just need to point out, as somebody who totally respects and very much enjoys what Elizabeth Gilbert brings to the world and her readers, that her use of the word "narcissist" at about 1 hour, is narcissism in it's most simplistic form and is not really a description of the disorder at all. Those who've been on the receiving end of narcissistic behavior know that it is about way more than pride and ego. It is about power, control, entitlement, manipulation and having no respect for the boundaries of others. I worry sometimes that people confuse healthy self-esteem and self-care as "narcissism" when true narcissism is destructive and harmful and also not always very obvious.
Why we do need marriage for? You are very right just enjoy your life as much as you can. We're here not for anything else. We have to believe that from our heart. Go girl go. Thanks for your contribution
Marriage is the foundational commitment of family which is the foundation for community and society. If you have ever seen the stability of a lifelong loving commitment you would not ask what is it needed for.
I'd heard of Eat Pray Love but not necessarily taken much notice of who the author was having exhausted a glut of self help books in my 20s 30s 40s.....only just via an interview with Russel Brand become aware of her.
Feeling a bit stressed and depleted so I listen to Liz and always feel the better of it. What a speaker.
I swear she makes me feel better no matter what is going on with me. It's amazing how she touches so many women and men through her wit, her poise and her wisdom.
Me too. She makes me feel better no matter what she's saying. Magic human.
She is amazing

Self stewardship is a great start. We should all strive for that before we strive for love. So well said.

Looking back I realize that listening to her is the one thing that kept me going this year
This was so refreshing. The interviewer asked good questions too and I liked her energy. All interviewers don’t do well.
Exactly!!
"To the consequences!" Indeed. Amen sister. I love this talk so much.

I worry sometimes that people confuse healthy self-esteem and self-care as "narcissism" when true narcissism is destructive and harmful and also not always very obvious.
Dandelion Greens agreed! I also want to add Narcissism is a type of psychopathy where the individual lacks any compassion, sympathy or empathy.
@@fineartlifestyling Yes, good point thank you for adding that!
The most interesting and beautiful woman i could listen to forevermore…
I needed to hear this
Superinspirational, I love her and a really good interview!
God let her talk!!!!!!
37:07 talk about shame and dreams sounds like The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz.
What an inspiring talk! Love it!
Why we do need marriage for? You are very right just enjoy your life as much as you can. We're here not for anything else. We have to believe that from our heart. Go girl go. Thanks for your contribution
Marriage is grown up - the rest is just playing house.

Oh please, stop lying. I bet you yourself don’t even want to have a wife..
@@teragram8006 I don't want to marry anyone. Marriage is for people who take responsibility and understand what a vow is.
Marriage is the foundational commitment of family which is the foundation for community and society. If you have ever seen the stability of a lifelong loving commitment you would not ask what is it needed for.
Why have kids if you're not married first? It makes a huge difference. You're not having kids with your friend.
The best talk ever!!!
love the last question and answer :)
ooooh "its like you're auditioning for a part you already got" toooo :)
what a gift she is!
I think Elizabeth Gilbert is the only one that can get away with swearing and giving the finger infront of such a big audience.
I'd heard of Eat Pray Love but not necessarily taken much notice of who the author was having exhausted a glut of self help books in my 20s 30s 40s.....only just via an interview with Russel Brand become aware of her.
She said that Raya wasn't in the book. But all this time I thought Elias Ray is exactly her! Even in the name
This was beautiful
Thanks to anyone who wants to literally support me. If you want to extend more than common courtesy, that's your choice.
59:27 ohhhhh my fucking God!!!!! no one has ever everrrrrr! put it like this! revelations!

I don’t agree with her lifestyle but I find her to be super intelligent and generous with people. She deserves a good owesome man!
