Elizabeth Gilbert never considered herself a religious or even a spiritual person. But when she found herself desperately wanting more than the joyless life she was living, she was inspired to pray for help. The guidance she received—not immediately, but over time—led her to leave her old life behind and take a leap of faith to travel to Italy, India and Bali. She wrote a best-selling book about her experiences and has inspired millions to begin to find their own purpose and path. See a clip from her recent visit on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
